Carrie Denning Jackson: How Our Homes Influence Our Health

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.

Join us as we dive into environmental health with Carring Denning Jackson. Carrie is the Founder of Place as Medicine, an organization dedicated to building a healthier environment, from our homes to our neighborhoods and the broader world. Her mission is to share knowledge, elevate conversations, build healthy places, and drive change. Although she always recognized the importance of access to nature, physical activity, and social spaces, her perspective shifted after becoming a mother. Despite her 15-plus years in the industry, she was not fully aware of the profound connection between our living environment and our health. Carrie has spent her career working to enhance the places where we live, with roles at IBM Smarter Cities, Google’s urban innovation team, Sidewalk Labs, and Jamestown LP, a global real estate investment and management company, where she leads their Innovation + Sustainability teams. She holds a BA, MA, and MBA from Stanford University and is on the board of the New York State chapter of The Nature Conservancy.
