Food addiction, binge eating, and ultra processed food recovery are at the center of this episode of Real Food Recovery Podcast™. This conversation explores binge eating recovery and food addiction healing through a grounded, nervous system informed approach to change.
Real 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.
In this episode, Paige is joined by Dr. Kristina Dobyns, an integrative recovery coach and educator specializing in binge eating and food addiction recovery. Together, they explore a more grounded and sustainable approach to healing, one that moves beyond willpower and focuses on the connection between the body, the nervous system, and long term behavior change.
Dr. Dobyns brings a unique perspective that blends somatic psychology, nutrition, and mindfulness based relapse prevention. Her work centers on helping individuals reconnect with their bodies, understand the root drivers of cravings, and build a more stable foundation for recovery through simple, consistent practices.
Together, Paige and Dr. Dobyns discuss the role of embodiment in recovery, how ultra processed foods impact both the brain and body, and what it looks like to move out of cycles of binge eating without relying on restriction or extremes. This conversation offers a more compassionate and practical path forward for those ready to rebuild trust with themselves.
If you are struggling with binge eating, food addiction, or feeling stuck in patterns that no longer serve you, this episode will meet you where you are.
