| Special Events: | At our October 8 meeting, Lenny Roberts, Doctor of Chiropractic, will speak on "Nutrition/Weight Loss and Eating for Maximum Performance." He will explain proper methods of combining appropriate food groups for optimum digestion and maximum energy, and how, if sensibly applied, these measures will result in weight loss for those who need to shed a few pounds. He will discuss secrets to fueling your immune system and eating to decrease your risk of cancer. Dr. Roberts obtained his doctorate degree from Life University in Marietta, GA with honors in March 2001. He graduated from Rowan University with honors with a BS in Biology in 1997. He has volunteered his time and served on the Board of Directors at the YMCA, volunteered with Habitat for Humanity, and has coached little league baseball. Dr. Roberts is also the founder of the non-profit group FANS (Fights Autism Now Supporters), a non-profit organization that provides treatment to local children with autism. Dr. Roberts also ran the San Diego Marathon in 2006 and the Philadelphia Triathlon in 2008. He is a chiropractic consultant for the Philadelphia 76ers. He has been with the team since 2009. On Friday, Saturday, and Sunday, October 21-23, 2016, you are cordially invited to the 19th International Thyroid Cancer Survivors' Conference, at the LAX Hilton Hotel in Los Angeles, CA, USA.
