Continuation Lecture

Due to unexpected surgery, Dr. Petry will not be able to give the Continuation lecture this Thursday, January 21st. Dr. Petry will be re-scheduled for a ZG Continuation lecture later in the year. In his place we are fortunate to present Dr. Steve Butnik, Ph. D., LCP, an adult ADHD specialist, who will present "Could ADHD (ADD) be making it harder for you to lose weight?: The links between weight, diet and ADHD." Dr. Butnik will be talking about "the association between eating behaviors and ADHD/ADD and the role of nutrition and exercise in a comprehensive ADHD/ADD treatment plan".
