Chewing & Spitting Disorder (CHSP) with Talia Cecchele

In this week's episode, Han is joined by Talia Cecchele. Talia is a Registered Dietitian and Founder of Talia Cecchele Nutrition (TCN). Talia and her clinic team work using a non-diet and intuitive eating approach to help people to ditch the diet mentality and bring balance back to nutrition. She is a big dreamer, starts her day with an oat latte and takes any opportunity she can to travel and explore.

This week, we discuss:

  • What is chewing and spitting disorder (CHSP)?
  • CHSP's link to eating disorders and other mental health conditions.
  • The potential causes of CHSP.
  • The medical & psychological consequences of CHSP?
  • How Talia works as a dietitian with her clients to support them with CHSP?
  • How to support yourself or a loved one in navigating CHSP.

To find out more about Talia you can follow her on Instagram @tcnutrition or visit her website.

Kindly note, that this episode delves into sensitive eating disorder topics. Remember to take care of yourself while listening, and always seek professional help if needed. This podcast is your bridge to insightful discussions, not a substitute for clinical guidance.
