Real Food Recovery Podcast™ was created from a society wrestling with processed food addiction and the deep ache that comes from feeling trapped in destructive patterns. After decades of obsession, frustration, and starting over more times than can be counted, Paige Alexander holds this space to speak honestly about what it truly takes to heal. Each episode opens the door to the real, raw, and often messy journey of recovery offering compassion, lived experience, and practical tools that help rebuild a life grounded in peace instead of chaos. In this episode, Paige sits down with Laura Eiman, who shares her powerful transformation from decades of sugar addiction and junk food dependency to 25 years free from sugar and ultra-processed foods.
