This conversation focuses on how happiness, emotional regulation, and mindset directly impact inflammation, energy, cravings, and recovery from ultra processed food patterns.  This is Part 2 of a 2 part conversation with Dr. Jacob Teitelbaum. If you have not listened to Part 1, be sure to start there for a deeper understanding of chronic fatigue, fibromyalgia, and sugar addiction in recovery.\n\nReal Food Recovery Podcast™ was created from a society wrestling with ultra-processed food addiction and the deep exhaustion that comes from feeling trapped in destructive patterns. After decades of obsession, frustration, and starting over, Paige Alexander holds this space to speak honestly about what it takes to heal, offering lived experience, grounded perspective, and practical tools to rebuild a life rooted in peace instead of chaos.\n\nIn this episode, Paige continues the conversation with Dr. Jacob Teitelbaum, shifting the focus to the science of happiness and its direct impact on physical health. This discussion explores how emotions, mindset, and internal dialogue influence inflammation, immune function, energy levels, and even cravings.  Drawing from his work and book 3 Steps to Happiness: An Easy Guide, Dr. Teitelbaum explains how happiness is not just a feeling, but a biological state that plays a critical role in healing. Together, Paige and Dr. Teitelbaum break down how stress, thought patterns, and emotional regulation can either support or disrupt recovery.\n\nThey also explore how focusing only on food can overlook a major piece of the healing process, and what it looks like to begin supporting both the mind and body in a more integrated way.  If you are working to rebuild your health, your energy, and your relationship with food, this conversation offers a powerful reminder that how you feel matters just as much as what you eat.\nLearn...","thumbnail_url":"https://img.transistorcdn.com/ICzA71TKladG4gnD28qHKih8NSHT9BnlHKeaGYMJ3ls/rs:fill:0:0:1/w:400/h:400/q:60/mb:500000/aHR0cHM6Ly9pbWct/dXBsb2FkLXByb2R1/Y3Rpb24udHJhbnNp/c3Rvci5mbS83Yjky/OWIzNDM2MzNjYWVk/ZmIzOWQ3OGYzZDkw/OWNlMy5qcGc.webp","thumbnail_width":300,"thumbnail_height":300}
