Today, we’re looking at a topic that is often woven deeply into the journey of recovering from ultra-processed food addiction—and that is healing past trauma. 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? If you're wondering these same things, listen in, because this episode is for you!

In this episode, Jamie and Paige have the honor of interviewing social media darling, Kristy McCammon. Founder of uber-popular, Life Unbinged, Kristy’s faith-focused food recovery thought leadership has garnered her thousands of followers. She graciously shares her wisdom with us and talks openly about growing up using food as a comforter and friend. That led to many years of binging, “I knew what wrappers were quietest,” and eventually to a moment of utter desperation. As a result, Kristy was able to create firm boundaries around flour and sugar and began to share her story with others on social media. Kristy is open, honest and vulnerable about her use of food and how her “obvious sin” showed up in her life.

In a world where anxiety plagues so many, we are learning that anxiety and the effects of processed food on the brain can be closely related. 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!

Today we are discussing a topic that you might be surprised by: Self-Pity. 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.

Today we are going to dive into a discussion about the book The Pleasure Trap. 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 this episode, we're diving deep into something that many of us have experienced but rarely talk about—the dangers of the diet mentality, especially when you're on the path of recovering from ultra-processed food addiction, or simply the effects of ultra-processed food. 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.

In this episode, we tackle a topic that is very common among those trying to recover from the effects of ultra processed foods, and that is the conundrums they are up against while at work. 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. So let’s discover what success in recovery looks like in environments like these!

Join us for episode 68, as we take a deep dive into the world of Inner Family Work. 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 this episode, our topic is something that touches most, if not all, of us deeply: loving our bodies—especially during recovery from food-related challenges.

Let’s dig in and discuss!

Join us as we dive into a hot topic: GLP-1 hormones—what they are, why they’re essential, and how you can naturally boost them without relying on external GLP-1 Agonists like Ozempic or Mounjaro. 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. In this episode, we’ll walk you through those changes step by step.
