From Quantity to Quality: Can the Gut Microbiome and Body Composition Guide Precision Refeeding for Hospitalized Adolescents with Malnutrition? | Grand Rounds San Francisco

Presented by:

Andrea Garber,PhD, RD
Professor of Pediatrics
Nutrition Director, UCSF Eating Disorders Program

Learning Objectives:

1. Define the benefits and limits of higher calorie refeeding to restore medical and metabolic stability in patients hospitalized with malnutrition secondary to eating disorders.

2. Describe how starvation alters the gut microbiome and body composition, and how these adaptations impact refeeding outcomes.

3. Apply a precision nutrition refeeding framework that may improve hospital outcomes and long-term recovery in patients with restrictive eating disorders.
