| Breaking Free: Braci Dutton on Healing from Food Addiction and Taking Back Your Power | 11 Sep 2025 | 00:49:50 | |
Welcome to Real Food Recovery, a podcast created by two lifelong processed food addicts with over 100 years of addiction (and recovery) between them. Paige Alexander and Jamie Morgan Reno use their Real Food Recovery podcast and social media channels to share their struggles, lessons learned, tools, tips, and resources that freed them from decades of food addiction, obsession, and loss.
Braci Dutton is a wife, mother, and wellness educator who hit rock bottom with food addiction before finding lasting healing through clean living. For years, she felt trapped in cycles of bingeing, exhaustion, and shame—parenting from the couch and wondering why she couldn't "just have more willpower." But everything changed when she became a mom and realized something deeper was going on. That's when she uncovered the truth: the food industry was designed to keep her addicted. Instead of staying stuck, Braci took her power back. She learned how to read labels, detoxed her pantry and her home, and began rebuilding her health from the inside out. Today, she's dedicated her life and career to helping other women do the same—through food, beauty, and lifestyle education rooted in truth, simplicity, and freedom. She believes women deserve to feel good again, not just in their bodies, but in their motherhood, their minds, and their everyday lives.

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.
