Welcome to Real Food Recovery, a podcast created by two lifelong processed food addicts with over 100 years of addiction (and recovery) between them. Paige Alexander and Jamie Morgan Reno use their Real Food Recovery podcast and social media channels to share their struggles, lessons learned, tools, tips, and resources that freed them from decades of food addiction, obsession, and loss.  

 

This episode is a deeply personal one for both of us, as we discuss what happens when family dynamics intersect with food recovery. What do you do when someone in your family activates a wound—and all you want is the thing you swore you’d stop turning to for comfort? Whether it’s your mom, your sibling, or even a parent you don’t enjoy being around—these emotional hits can send us straight back into food noise, cravings, or numbing. Today, we’re going to explore how to respond without reacting, protect our peace, and maintain our integrity.

 

In every Real Food Recovery episode, Paige and Jamie take time to answer viewer questions about processed food addiction, obsession, and recovery.
