Eating Disorders are a serious illness that present both medically and psychiatrically, posing the highest death rate of any psychiatric disorder. This presentation explores the role of nutrition in medical stabilization, weight restoration and improved cognitive function in severely malnourished individuals. It will shine light on medical complications that can arise from severe and extreme eating disorders, how these complications impact the holistic patient treatment experience, and provide education on appropriate medical nutrition therapy to help patients heal from these medical complications, including the use of enteral and parenteral nutrition. In addition to reviewing evidence-based dietary interventions, content seeks to foster a better understanding of how restoring nutritional status promotes readiness for the psychological aspects of eating disorder treatment.
