And today, we're looking into a topic that affects so many of us: anxiety.  Interestingly, anxiety is something that can sneak up on us, and for many of us, food has been our go-to coping mechanism. But what if we could find peace without reaching for that bag of chips or pint of ice cream? That's what we're going to explore today.

Not just plastic wrappers or containers; but microplastics and nanoplastics—tiny, almost invisible particles—are ending up in our foods and, eventually, inside us. So, in this episode we're going to explore how these plastics get into our bodies and brains and the potential health risks they pose, especially for those of us recovering from the effects of ultra-processed foods.  In every Real Food Recovery episode, Paige and Jamie take time to answer viewer questions about processed food addiction, obsession, and recovery, be sure to submit yours on their YouTube Channel or Facebook Page.

For many of us, our relationship with food isn't just about hunger or cravings. It's about emotions, past wounds, and unresolved pain that we carry with us, sometimes without even realizing it? But how do you know when those past traumas are truly healed? How can you measure it? And what is the best way to approach that healing process?

We'll dive into how our bodies create these GLP-1, (glucagon-like peptide-1) hormones that play a key role in regulating blood sugar, appetite, and even weight. They are our body's amazing built-in support system for keeping cravings and energy levels in check and it can be enhanced naturally by making smart lifestyle and dietary changes.

The diet culture is everywhere, and it's so ingrained in our lives that we may not even realize how it's affecting us. But for anyone who's been caught in the cycle of ultra-processed foods, the diet mentality can be a huge obstacle to true healing. So, let's break it down and learn how we can free ourselves from it.

Unfortunately,  this is such a big issue because the workplace is typically filled with landmines.  The workplace is often a hub of food exposure. Whether it's donuts in the breakroom, catered lunches, vending machines, or birthday celebrations every week, it can feel like food is everywhere.

And you can follow those breadcrumbs, noticing patterns and taking shortcuts, to build your own success.   The idea that "success leaves clues" means that every successful person, every individual who's overcome something, has left behind a roadmap. It might not be a GPS with turn-by-turn directions, but it's a trail of behaviors, strategies, and practices you can adapt and use. These clues aren't just about shortcuts.

We'll examine the history and reasons behind our struggles, and how we can redefine body love on our own terms.  All of this makes us want to stop and ask ourselves why has there been such a long history of women not loving their bodies, why the struggle?

The authors, Dr Douglas Lisle, a psychologist and Dr Alan Goldhamer, a chiropractor and health educator, explain how modern food environments hijack our natural instincts, leading us into a cycle of addiction and poor health. Sound familiar? The Pleasure Trap is a fascinating book that delves into the psychology and biology of why we get hooked on unhealthy foods. At its core, the book explains that humans are wired to seek pleasure, avoid pain, and conserve energy.  This was beneficial for survival in ancient environments where food was scarce and physical effort was necessary. However, in today's world of abundant, highly palatable processed foods, these instincts can lead us astray.   In every Real Food Recovery episode, Paige and Jamie take time to answer viewer questions about processed food addiction, obsession, and recovery, be sure to submit yours on their YouTube Channel or Facebook Page.

They are so closely linked that they often travel in tandem, similar to a two seat bicycle. They improve together, as well as weaken together.  Research suggests that ultra-processed foods can trigger pleasure centers in our brains, leading to cravings and potentially addictive behaviors. These foods often provide a temporary sense of comfort or relief from stress and anxiety due to their impact on neurotransmitters like serotonin and dopamine.  Listen in as we tackle the complexities of the interplay between processed food and anxiety, you might just find answers you have been looking for!   In every Real Food Recovery episode, Paige and Jamie take time to answer viewer questions about processed food addiction, obsession, and recovery, be sure to submit yours on their YouTube Channel or Facebook Page.

This topic is nuanced and SO interesting, but it's not for everyone…at first. That's because the foundational branches of recovery need to be in place first: food/food prep, sleep, movement, and spirituality. We believe that when those four cornerstones are anchored, we can finally gain access to all our parts. The discussion goes even deeper when we explore how operating from a position of clarity and compassion with our inner family allows us to make the next right move in real life. And THAT is recovery in action.   In every Real Food Recovery episode, Paige and Jamie take time to answer viewer questions about processed food addiction, obsession, and recovery, be sure to submit yours on their YouTube Channel or Facebook Page.

There are many closely related “self-” words including self-worth, self-esteem, self-respect, self-value, but two appear to mean virtually the same thing: self-worth and self-esteem. So, what exactly then is the difference between the two? Let's break it down and then understand more about feelings of self-worth and self-esteem, including how they can help you live a happy and fulfilling life.   In every Real Food Recovery episode, Paige and Jamie take time to answer viewer questions about processed food addiction, obsession, and recovery, be sure to submit yours on their YouTube Channel or Facebook Page.

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.   Something happened in the culture zeitgeist recently that Paige and Jamie felt compelled to address.  Oprah Winfrey aired a “special” titled, “Shame, Blame and the Weight Loss Revolution”. Her premise to invite viewers in was built around reducing shame and blame for those struggling with obesity. We agree that no blame or shame should ever be levied on those of us who struggle with food obsession, addiction or abuse. It truly is not our fault because we all are inundated by the environment of over-stimulating, hyper-palatable ultra-processed foods. And what seals the fate for most of us are the other lifestyle choices we make on top of the food.    Unfortunately, though, Oprah and her team did not ever discuss these factors. They simply stated that Obesity is now a disease and implied that its best treatments must include medical and surgical intervention. No talk of food or our hyper-palatable food environment was ever made! We believe that true healing from the effects of the food environment we live in can only come from addressing the root cause, and focusing on skills to deal with the triggers in our environment.  Listen in as we present and dissect the whole story behind this uber-anticipated and controversial primetime special.   In every Real Food Recovery episode, Paige and Jamie take time to answer viewer questions about processed food addiction, obsession, and recovery, be sure to submit yours on their YouTube Channel or Facebook Page.

Did you know that Self-pity is more than just an emotion…it actually acts like a poison and is directly tied to the use of processed foods? Self-pity creates a cascade of neurotransmitters and hormones in our body that can become as addictive as some narcotics! It acts like a drug, giving us the momentary pleasure of victimhood. But, ultimately, it becomes a dysfunctional and harmful way of developing emotional bonds with ourselves and others. And, what's even worse, it can separate us from reality.     In every Real Food Recovery episode, Paige and Jamie take time to answer viewer questions about processed food addiction, obsession, and recovery, be sure to submit yours on their YouTube Channel or Facebook Page.
