Night Eating Syndrome

This continuing education course reviews the primary characteristics of NES, a challenging but relatively unknown form of disordered eating that negatively and significantly impacts an individual’s metabolic functioning, mood, weight, sleep, and overall well-being. Based on the presented research on NES, this course provides practical recommendations nutrition professionals can use to educate and counsel clients about NES, known comorbidities, and relevant interventions that may reduce NES episodes and improve clients’ health-related quality of life.

Course content appeared as the CPE Monthly in the May 2021 edition of Today’s Dietitian.
