Following this presentation, attendees will understand the importance of nutrition therapy as part of eating disorder treatment; be provided with new data challenging current refeeding guidelines for adolescents and adults to effectuate successful treatment outcomes; recognize appropriate nutrition interventions use to support weight restoration; and identify future directions for research in nutrition therapy. Utilizing case vignettes, attendees will learn alternative interventions for complex and/or resistant patients; and have the opportunity to gain valuable and practical pearls of wisdom to integrate into practice.
