Challenging intake guidelines — Dr Graham Redgrave

Tabitha Farrar talks to Dr Graham Redgrave about the research done at Johns Hopkins looking into higher weights and a faster rate of refeeding patients with Anorexia in an inpatient hospital setting. The conversation includes:

• Refeeding intakes, traditional expectations versus new developements

• Problems with low target weights

• Relapse prevention programs

• Lower rate of relaspe for patients who reach higher BMIs in treatment

• The case for higher caloric intakes once the risk of refeeding syndrome is past

• What refeeding syndrome is, and research around this

• How and when treatment fails patients.

• Why we need to challenge the current guidelines pertraining to refeeding intakes
