    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!

    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.

    Welcome to Episode 65 where we start to uncover the connection between self-worth, self-esteem and recovery.

So, what exactly then is the difference between the two? Let’s break it down and then understand more about feelings of self-worth and self-esteem, including how they can help you live a happy and fulfilling life.

    Something happened in the culture zeitgeist recently that Paige and Jamie felt compelled to address. Oprah Winfrey aired a “special” titled, “Shame, Blame and the Weight Loss Revolution”. Her premise to invite viewers in was built around reducing shame and blame for those struggling with obesity. We agree that no blame or shame should ever be levied on those of us who struggle with food obsession, addiction or abuse. It truly is not our fault because we all are inundated by the environment of over-stimulating, hyper-palatable ultra-processed foods. And what seals the fate for most of us are the other lifestyle choices we make on top of the food.

    Unfortunately, though, Oprah and her team did not ever discuss these factors. They simply stated that Obesity is now a disease and implied that its best treatments must include medical and surgical intervention. No talk of food or our hyper-palatable food environment was ever made! We believe that true healing from the effects of the food environment we live in can only come from addressing the root cause, and focusing on skills to deal with the triggers in our environment. Listen in as we present and dissect the whole story behind this uber-anticipated and controversial primetime special.

    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 talk about a tender topic
grief. This is an uncomfortable topic, but a necessary one, especially for those of us in recovery. That’s because recovery from addiction, no matter what shape it takes or the stage that it’s in, is an emotionally taxing time. Losing someone or something you love can bring great sadness for anyone, but for someone in recovery,it can throw us completely off, leading often to strong temptations and a even a the potential lapse and withdrawal. But we have hope and tools to share that can keep you on track in your recovery AND give you a greater sense of peace.
