Food Junkies Podcast Ep. 227: Clinicians Corner – Recovery Is a Lifestyle, Not a Lifeboat

Recovery Is a Lifestyle, Not a Lifeboat – Maintaining Long-Term Recovery

In this episode of Clinician’s Corner, Molly and Clarissa dive into what it really takes to sustain long-term recovery from ultra-processed food addiction. Moving beyond the early, crisis-focused phase of recovery, they explore the research-backed foundations of lasting change—like routine, stress management, mindfulness, and community connection. They share personal insights, clinical experience, and hopeful reminders that recovery is a lifestyle renovation, not a quick fix. Whether you’re early in the journey or navigating years of sobriety, this conversation offers encouragement, perspective, and practical tools for creating a life you no longer want to escape from.
