In this video, Kris Scover, RDN, LD — registered dietitian at Nourished ED and Support Group Facilitator with The Alliance— explores the critical and often overlooked connection between chronic illness and eating disorders.

Kris shares how significant overlap exists between chronic illness and disordered eating, and why dietary advice that leads to restriction, malnutrition, or rigid food rules can be harmful rather than healing. Many diets commonly recommended for chronic illness are not rooted in strong evidence and often fail to account for real-world factors such as energy limitations, food access, financial constraints, and the physical demands of preparing meals while managing illness.

This conversation highlights the importance of compassionate, evidence-based, and individualized nutrition care that supports both physical health and recovery.
