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.
