Welcome To Food Is Food!
14 Apr 2026

Are you frustrated by the amount of nutrition misinformation that you hear?Ā
Me too.Ā
I'm Talia Cecchele, specialist eating disorder and disordered eating dietitian and founder of the TCN clinic. I support people to overcome food rules, stop restrictive dieting and stop feeling so out of control with food and eating.
In this podcast, I really want to bring nuance to the conversations that we have about nutrition because our relationship with food is so complex and it can be really harmful to view food in a black and white or all or nothing way. We'll be chatting about all things nutrition, intuitive eating, body image, diet culture, psychology and the consequences of under-eating and all through a non-diet and weight inclusive lens.
I really hope to create space that allows us to better understand how our thoughts, emotions and life experiences shape our relationship with food and our bodies.Ā
So if you're feeling a little bit lost about how to eat normally or you feel like food is overtaking your life, then you're in the right place.Ā
