  • All Change Happens in Community
    Jul 24 2025

    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.

    Today we’re digging into a powerful truth, and that is the concept that: all transformation happens in community—or does it? We’ve both wrestled with food, isolation, and shame. But something shifted when we found a space to heal with others. We’ll share our stories, some listener questions, and why connection might be the most underrated tool in food recovery.

  • Do I Need A Rigid Structure To Recover
    Jun 26 2025

    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.

    Today we’re talking about an interesting topic, so look forward to a lively discussion on when it comes to recovery: if we need a rigid structure or is something looser more successful? To be Rigid or not to be Rigid, that is the question! Or in other words, is structure and rules the only way to success? As we get into the meat of this conversation, we will talk about our different beliefs on what we think works. You might be surprised to hear we all have a little different take on where we are, which is good news because we can reach a larger audience who struggles. We are not all cookie-cutter humans (pun intended), and so by the end, we will have spoken to everyone out there listening!
