Hi There,

This is Jenifer Koretsky, CEO of ADHDmanagement.com. As an adult with ADHD who has struggled with weight management, I have to tell you just how excited I am that we're offering this seminar with psychologist Dr. Roberto Olivardia, who is an expert when it comes to ADHD and weight management!

So many of us know what it's like to be in a yo-yo cycle with weight and health. You make some great changes and lose some weight, but you can't seem to stick to those healthier habits and end up gaining back even more weight than you lost. And this up-and-down cycle can last a lifetime—taking a toll on your physical health, your mental health, and your self-esteem.

Don't blame yourself. You've always done the best you could at the time. We all do.

It's not a matter of willpower; it's a matter of having the proper tools and strategies.

And what you probably didn't know is that there's a complex relationship between your eating habits and your ADHD. In fact, what you eat can make your ADHD symptoms harder to manage and, in turn, your ADHD symptoms can make your weight harder to manage! Sometimes it feel like you can't win. At least, that's how I've felt many, many times.

Now here's the good news: there is hope! Not many professionals out there are experts in ADHD and weight management, but Dr.Roberto Olivardia is. Dr. Olivardia is a Clinical Instructor in the Department of Psychiatry at Harvard Medical School. He's been researching and treating men and women with eating disorders for almost 20 years. He is a nationally recognized figure in the field of body image and eating disorders in males, having published his research in prestigious scientific journals and co-authoring the first book on the subject.

He's a warm, friendly, and down-to-earth guy who understands what it's like to struggle with food and eating. He's also very skilled at taking scientific information and presenting it in such a way that we can all understand it. And he's extremely knowledgeable about what it takes to create healthy habits that are actually ADHD-friendly, break the yo-yo cycle, and take control of your weight.

In the ADHD & Weight Management Online Seminar, Dr. Olivardia will teach you everything from the science and studies behind ADHD and weight management to the practical, ADHD-friendly strategies and steps that you can take—right away—to start building healthy eating habits and take control of your weight.

Join us from the comfort of your own home or office (or access the presentation later if you can't attend live) to:

Understand the complex relationship between your eating habits and your ADHD

Get over the shame and self-judgment that so many people with ADHD have around food, weight, and body image

Learn why people with ADHD are more susceptible to developing an eating disorder like obesity or compulsive overeating

Discover how sleep issues can affect your eating habits, weight and metabolism

Find out how different emotions--from anxiety to anger to happiness--can trigger an unhealthy relationship with food

Figure out if you're using food as a form of self-medication

Discover which treatment options can help, like medication and cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT)

And, of course, you'll learn simple, concrete steps you can take to manage your weight and build healthy eating habits, like:

Guidelines to follow when you're shopping, and how to navigate the supermarket

How to stock your house with foods that will make meal prep easier

How to be mindful about eating (we’ll be doing an exercise on this during the seminar!)

What to eat for breakfast, and how to choose healthier snacks

How to monitor your food with ADHD-friendly ways to keep track of what you eat (and why this is so important for success!)

How to avoid becoming obsessed with food

How to resist using food for instant gratification

How to set realistic health and weight loss goals

Why you shouldn't give up when you reach a weight-loss plateau

How to make big positive changes in your eating habits by starting with very small steps
