Applications of MNT That Won’t Sacrifice Recovery (Part 1 of 2)

CE Hours 1.5

About this live event

Eating disorder recovery is what The Emily Program specializes in, and what our clients seek treatment for.  But what about the clients who have more than just an eating disorder?  In this 3-hour training (Broken into 2 sessions) designed for dietitians, we will review the eating disorder nutrition key concepts, current MNT for common co-occurring conditions, and work through complex cases.

Learning Objectives

  • Describe core eating disorder nutrition principles that can help inform nutrition care for individuals with co-occurring medical conditions, and your references.
  • Assess the impact of common medical comorbidities on nutrition assessment and intervention within eating disorder treatment.
  • Apply counseling frameworks to design evidence-based medical nutrition therapy (MNT) strategies that balance co-occurring medical conditions with eating disorder recovery priorities.
