Chewing and Spitting (C and S) is a shameful secret sadly suffered by many people with eating disorders. It’s a potentially triggering and tricky topic to talk about, but it’s a subject that needs a conversation and raised awareness.
It’s often overlooked in regular eating disorder assessments, as not recognised as an official disorder under mental health classifications.
You can struggle with C and S, if you have anorexia, bulimia, binge eating disorder, OSFED or disordered eating.
It might be something you experience occasionally, in addition to other behaviours such as purging or over-exercise.It may be something that you struggle with multiple times per day.
In this episode, I talk about Chewing and Spitting, the costs of this and how to begin to stop the behaviour. I hope that you find it helpful.

Today, I’m talking to Prue – an eating disorder recovery warrior and mother, who has type one diabetes and has recovered from anorexia nervosa. Prue has been very generous today in sharing her recovery story.
Prue experienced extremely challenging times as a child, having what she calls a ‘text book’ narcissistic father. She was then sent to boarding school and separated from her siblings and support network, feeling very abandoned. Prue then developed type 1 diabetes and was navigating this condition, pretty much in isolation.
Prue developed anorexia nervosa as a life raft and coping strategy to keep her safe in these hugely difficult circumstances. Today she shares her story openly, describing some of the things that have helped her in healing and ongoing management of diabetes.
I hope that you enjoy the conversation.

Today, I’m talking to Mindy Gorman-Plutzer, Certified Functional Nutrition and Lifestyle Practitioner and Eating Psychology Coach. Mindy’s life experience and training inspired her to create a framework that combines functional nutrition, positive psychology, and mind/body science. Mindy is passionate about helping others recover from eating disorders and create a healthier lifestyle. Her approach tackles the root cause of the issue, and emphasizes that how and why you eat is just as important as what you eat.
In addition, Mindy is the author of The Freedom Promise: 7 Steps To Stop Fearing What Food Will Do TO You and Start Embracing What It Can Do FOR You.
In this episode, Mindy talks about her personal recovery journey, delving into the ups and downs of this road, from being in a quasi recovered place (doing recovery) to stepping into full recovery (being recovered), through deeper self-connection and self-empowerment. She explores how eating disorders become solutions to different trauma or stressors, and the way they can become a means of self-soothing, and with healing, other healthier coping strategies can be explored. This is an inspiring and encouraging episode, as Mindy radiates passion, enthusiasm and deep caring for her clients and people healing from eating disorders. It gives hope for recovery and regaining and taking back what was lost through the illness. I hope that you enjoy the episode.
