Dr. David Williams Announces Breakthrough Weight Loss
Supplement
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
(Potomac, MD) — Dr. David Williams is proud to announce the
official launch of his new breakthrough weight loss supplement, TonaLean-3. Just
in time for New Year’s resolutions, this ground-breaking nutrient blend helps
people lose up to 30 pounds in just 90 days.
TonaLean-3 is a combination of a green tea extract and
phospholipid complex, along with chromium, which helps balance blood sugar
levels, and Tonalin CLA (conjugated linolenic acid), a special type of omega-6
fatty acid that helps reduce body fat and promote a better lean to fat mass
ratio.
“I’ve been a huge fan of Tonalin CLA for years now,” says Dr.
Williams. “Tonalin CLA triggers the loss of body fat by increasing the metabolic
rate, decreasing the appetite, and causing more body-fat cells to be used for
energy production. It also works to increase lean muscle. By pairing it
with the green tea extract, phospholipid complex and chromium, you have a
powerful partner in your weight loss efforts.”
According to Glory Kneass, Senior Vice President at Healthy
Directions, “We are very excited to offer a weight loss product that has proven
research and clinical studies to support it. In fact, a recent multi-center
clinical trial found that people who took just the green tea extract and
phospholipid complex, while also following a calorie-restricted diet, lost up to
30 pounds in three months. That is exciting news for anyone looking to enhance
their weight loss goals.”
Lasting weight loss requires a change of the habits that led
to the weight gain—and there’s nothing easy about changing long-time habits.
Fortunately, TonaLean-3 is a powerful ally to enhance any weight loss or diet
plan.

Suzanne Somers Highlights Dr. Stephen Sinatra in Chapter
for New Cancer Book
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
(Potomac, MD) — Stephen Sinatra, MD, is one of eight
medical doctors featured in Suzanne Somers’ new book Knockout: Interviews
with Doctors Who are Curing Cancer and How to Prevent Getting It In the First
Place. The book highlights Ms. Somers’ personal experience with cancer while
also detailing how conventional medicine has dropped the ball in the treatment
and prevention of cancer. She then offers alternative cancer treatments and
preventative therapies via interviews with more than 10 doctors and health
experts in the world of alternative medicine.
Ms. Somers chose to interview Dr. Sinatra for her book because
of his “heart of gold coupled with an extraordinary intellect.” She believes
that he “has the capacity to forever change the way doctors interact with
patients, for the better.”
In his chapter, Dr. Sinatra focuses primarily on his philosophy regarding thoughts and
emotions and how they can either lead to cancer or lead you to health. He
believes that “the most important thing [a doctor] can instill into the patient
is the belief that he or she can get well. Once a doctor instills that
confidence, the patient takes part in it.”
It is this philosophy and Dr. Sinatra’s insights on how
finding the lesson in your illness can help you heal that infuse his approach to
dealing with cancer. As a world-renowned cardiologist and founder of the New
England Heart & Longevity Center, he uses the best of traditional medicine
and alternative therapies to help his patients find true healing.
Dr. Sinatra is also Board Certified in Internal Medicine and
Cardiology and is a Fellow of the American College of Cardiology (F.A.C.C.) and
a Fellow of the American College of Nutrition (F.A.C.N.). Plus, he is certified
in anti-aging medicine and clinical nutrition (C.N.S.) as well as Bioenergetic
Analysis. This unique training and 30 years of practicing integrative cardiology
provide him with expertise in combining the best aspects of traditional and
alternative medicine.
Dr. Sinatra has also authored numerous books, including
Reverse Heart Disease Now, Heartbreak and Heart Disease, Heart
Sense for Women, Lower Your Blood Pressure in Eight Weeks, and The
Sinatra Solution—Metabolic Cardiology, just to name a few. In
addition to his many books, Dr. Sinatra also authors a monthly newsletter,
Heart, Health & Nutrition

overcome and reverse disease. You can subscribe to Heart, Health &

Dr. Julian Whitaker Pens Forward for Suzanne Somers’ New
Cancer Book
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
(Potomac, MD) — Julian Whitaker, MD, has the distinct
honor of providing the foreword to Suzanne Somers’ new book Knockout:
Interviews with Doctors Who are Curing Cancer and How to Prevent Getting It In
the First Place. The book highlights Ms. Somers’ personal experience with
cancer while also detailing how conventional medicine has mismanaged the
treatment and prevention of cancer. Through interviews with more than 10 doctors
and health experts in the world of alternative medicine, Somers offers a new
path toward wellness and prevention, with therapies and advice overlooked by
most doctors.
Dr. Whitaker is
a noted author, lecturer, and television personality. He has written about
alternative therapies for cancer for nearly 30 years, and works closely
with renowned cancer specialist Dr. Stanislaw Burzynski, featured in Ms. Somers’
book. In the forward, Dr. Whitaker highlights his experience with conventional
medicine’s approach to cancer, stating his belief that “the underlying issue is
that the entire cancer treatment ‘industry’ has been following a faulty paradigm
for close to a hundred years.” He goes on to say that “like all failed paradigms
in human history, this one is coming to an end, and I expect that
Knockout will hasten its demise.”
Dr. Whitaker goes on to pose three critical questions that
every cancer patient should ask their doctor when they are investigating their
treatment options. He not only provides insights about how to interpret your
physician’s answers to these questions, but praises Ms. Somers for providing
alternatives for you to consider.
Like Ms. Somers, Dr. Whitaker is an outspoken voice and
champion of consumer freedom. Thousands of patients have found a different path
to health, well-being and longevity at his clinic, the Whitaker Wellness
Institute, since it was founded in 1979. Politically active in the medical and
alternative health fields for decades, his Whitaker Health Freedom Foundation is
a leading proponent of access to alternative therapies.
Dr. Whitaker has led millions of people to a healthier
lifestyle through his monthly newsletter, Health &
Healing. He is also a prolific author, with 13 books to his credit,

Diabetes, Reversing Heart Disease, and Is Heart Surgery

Dr. Susan Lark’s Squalane Now Made From Olives, Not Shark
Liver
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
(Potomac, MD) — Dr. Susan Lark is proud to announce that she
is reformulating her squalane skin care line. The new line will contain squalane
sourced from olives rather than shark livers.
The new formula, called Trilane, is currently in development.
It will contain 100 percent natural, eco-friendly squalane sourced from olives,
which has the same hydrating properties as shark-derived squalane, but without
the worry of the overfishing associated with shark squalane. In addition, the
new formula will contain natural jojoba esters, a botanically-derived emollient
that has been shown to reduce fine lines and wrinkles and improve skin
firmness.
“Squalene is a powerful, natural antioxidant found in all
human tissues, with the greatest concentration in the skin,” explains Dr. Lark.
“I first learned of this wonderful moisturizing oil more than a decade ago from
one of my colleagues in the natural health field came to visit me. Squalane has
been one of my absolute favorite skin care product ever since. And the new
formula promises to be the ideal choice for women of all ages.”
According to Linda Werner, Vice President and General Manager
of Women’s Health at Healthy Directions, “We are thrilled to have found an
olive-based source of squalane for our Trilane line. This allows us to provide
our customers with the amazing benefits of Dr. Lark’s top-selling squalane,
while adding the proven moisturizing and toning properties of jojoba esters.
Together, these two ingredients will help minimize the signs of aging from a
lifetime of exposure to sun, wind, smoke, pollution, and harsh chemicals.”
Olive-derived squalane is a result of the olive oil industry.
After pressing the olives to obtain olive oil, the leftover material is then
used to extract squalene, which is then converted into squalane. Jojoba esters
are made from jojoba seed oil, which is actually a liquid wax made up of long
chain wax esters. They are very stable and highly resist oxidation, making them
very useful in cosmetic formulations.
About Susan M. Lark, MD
Dr. Lark has devoted her career to raising awareness of
women's health issues, such as PMS, obesity, hormone replacement therapy, and
osteoporosis. She pioneered the use of women's self-care treatments based on

ARX and Faster Tomorrow Sponsor Professional Triathlete
Terenzo Bozzone
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
(Potomac, MD) — Faster Tomorrow, a division of Healthy
Directions, LLC, is proud to announce its sponsorship of professional triathlete
Terenzo Bozzone. Bozzone has gained international attention since his 2006 win
at the Wildflower Triathlon and his 2008 wins at Ironman 70.3’s Kansas, Boise,
and Vineman. He was recently featured in the October issue of Triathlete
magazine.
“I am honored to be working with the Faster Tomorrow team and
their flagship product ARX,” says Bozzone. “For me, the difference between
winning and a back seat in the top 10 is how fast I can recover from hard
training. The faster I can recover, the more key workouts I can hit in a
training block. ARX
helps boost my performance and helps speed up my recovery time. It doesn’t
matter if you are 23 or 53, faster recovery translates into results.” 
ARX
is a unique, proprietary blend of all-natural ingredients proven to increase
endurance and shorten recovery time. The results of human clinical studies
suggest ARX effectively shuttles lactic acid from muscles during endurance
athletics such as running and cycling. By sweeping lactic acid into the
bloodstream, through the liver and back into cells for re-absorption, muscles
are provided a preferred form of fuel, increasing endurance and stamina and
reducing post-exercise recovery.
Healthy Directions, LLC CEO Kevin Donoghue says, “We are
delighted to welcome Terenzo to the Faster Tomorrow family. We are thrilled to
have such a remarkable up-and-coming athlete on our team and look forward to a
long and successful partnership. We hope that we can contribute to his future
success, starting with the Ironman World Championship 70.3 in Clearwater on
November 8th.”
About Faster Tomorrow
Faster Tomorrow is dedicated to helping endurance athletes of
all ages reach peak performance through science and nutrition. With the right
tools, you can feed your body, prime your muscles, and always be ready to train
hard and excel at the sports you love. As a part of Healthy Directions, LLC,

science-based natural products. Their advice has helped millions take control of
their health, on their own terms, and their products make living healthier, more
vibrant lives not just a goal, but a reality.

FasterTomorrow.com to unveil new muscle recovery
and endurance supplement at the Marine Corps Marathon Expo in October
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
POTOMAC, Md., September 26, 2008 – Faster Tomorrow, a division
of Healthy Directions, LLC, will be at the Marine Corps Marathon Expo, October
23 – 25, 2008 to give marathon runners free bottles of a new performance and
recovery supplement.
This new supplement, ARX (Athletic Recovery X-cellerator) is a unique,
proprietary blend of all-natural ingredients proven to increase endurance and
shorten muscle recovery time.
The results of human clinical
studies suggest ARX effectively moves lactic acid out of muscles during
endurance athletics such as running and cycling. It is then recycled into
glycogen to provide a preferred form of fuel, increasing endurance and stamina
and reducing post-exercise recovery. This remarkable muscle recovery supplement can help improve performance and
support stronger workouts, whether your focus is marathon training or working up
to your local 10K.
"As a longtime runner and avid believer in a
healthy lifestyle, I'm always looking for natural ways to train hard and stay
healthy, keeping myself and others going strong," said Kevin Donoghue, CEO
of Healthy Directions, LLC. "The discovery of ARX, and my own experience with
it, made it clear that endurance athletes could find real improvement with
natural solutions and advanced nutrition. That's how Faster Tomorrow was
born."
Two members of the Faster Tomorrow Advisory panel, including
sports nutrition and research expert Dr. Robert Wildman, and former Runner's
World editor Jane Hahn, will be on hand at the Marine Corps Marathon Expo.
Dr. Wildman will also represent Faster Tomorrow in the Expo's Expert Bar on
Saturday, October 25 from 9:00 – 11:00 AM. The entire Faster Tomorrow team
shares not only a wealth of experience in nutritional science, but a passion for
athletic pursuit, from marathon running and triathlons, to 10Ks and competitive
cycling and swimming.

supplement, ARX (Athletic Recovery X-cellerator).
ARX is a

are provided a preferred form of fuel, increasing endurance and stamina and
reducing post-exercise recovery. This remarkable recovery supplement can help
improve performance and support stronger workouts, whether your focus is
triathlon training, marathon training, or working up to your local 10K.

Susan Lark, MD, and Healthy Directions Develop
Nutritional Formula for Balancing Digestive Health
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
POTOMAC, Md., May 26, 2005—Susan Lark, MD, noted clinical
nutritionist and women’s health pioneer, has formulated Daily Balance
Probiotic Answer, a nutritional supplement formula to help keep women’s
digestive systems strong and running smoothly and efficiently. Dr. Lark’s
Probiotic Answer is available exclusively through Doctors’
Preferred, LLC, a subsidiary of Healthy Directions, one of the largest North
American direct-mail supplement distributors.
According to Dr. Lark,
many women have a digestive system that’s out of balance, causing such common
symptoms as bloating, flatulence, irregularity and indigestion. “Strengthening
and balancing your digestive system is one of the best ways to ensure glowing
health,” says Dr. Lark, “because your digestive system is the only way your
cells can actually get the vitamins, minerals and nutrients they need from the
food you eat. So it’s not just what you eat, but how well you absorb what you
eat.”
Probiotic Answer supports two distinct but
complementary functions necessary for optimal digestive health:
- Improves your digestion with a range of enzymes. Your
body needs digestive enzymes to break down foods into molecules that can pass
through the intestinal wall and be absorbed by your cells. The cells, in turn,
convert these molecules into energy. Dr. Lark’s formula contains a full range of
digestive enzymes—10 in all—that the body uses to break down carbohydrates,
protein and fat.
- Balances your intestinal flora with health-promoting live bacteria.
There are over 400 different species of natural and necessary bacteria that live
in your intestines. They help break down hard-to-digest foods, promote healthy
bowel movements, support immune system activity and fortify the walls of your
digestive tract, balancing your intestinal flora. Dr. Lark’s formula contains
two important strains of live, active bacteria specially encapsulated in tiny
“beadlets” that protect them from your stomach acid so they can reach your
intestines alive and get to work.
“What’s wonderful about this formula is that you’re going to
notice improvements in the way you feel right away,” says Dr. Lark. “So much of
our life as women centers around the kitchen and table,” adds Dr. Lark. “I’d
like to see women regain pleasurable associations with food, to feel comfortable
in their bodies, and achieve stronger overall health for years to come.”
Dr. Lark has devoted her career to raising awareness of women’s health
issues, such as obesity, hormone replacement therapy and osteoporosis. She
pioneered the use of women’s self-care treatments based on diet, nutrition,
exercise and stress management, and has penned a number of books, including The
Estrogen Decision and her most recent title, which she co-authored, The
Chemistry of Success: Six Secrets of Peak Performance.
Her monthly
newsletter, Women's Wellness Today, with a circulation of more
than 90,000 subscribers, and her web site, www.drlark.com, are
dedicated to educating and empowering women to make the best choices for optimum
health. Online visitors may sign up for Dr. Lark’s free biweekly e-newsletter,
which presents breaking health news along with lifestyle tips, easy recipes and
simple exercises for health and well-being.

Simplicity Pioneer Janet Luhrs and Phillips Health Join
Forces to Launch Lifestyle Publication and Web Site
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
(Potomac, MD) -- Janet Luhrs, internationally-recognized
leader in the world of simplicity, has joined Phillips Health (PH Opco, LLC), to
publish her monthly newsletter Simple LivingTM and Web site
www.simpleliving.com. Ms. Luhrs gave up a career in law to practice mindful
simplicity, and to educate others about the abundance this lifestyle offers. She
has been writing and self-publishing Simple Living since 1993.
Through
her newsletter and Web site, Ms. Luhrs will offer readers guidance on a wide
variety of topics that will help them live a more deliberate, simple life. She
will present strategies for managing finances, reducing clutter, living better
on less, enjoying exotic vacations at lower prices, and much more. Ms. Luhrs
will also provide investigative evaluations of products and services that help
to make life simpler.
Janet Luhrs is the author of The Simple Living
Guide: A Sourcebook for Less Stressful, More Joyful Living, a comprehensive
discussion of strategies and resources that help you manage every aspect of your
life. She includes in-depth, inspirational solutions to every type of problem a
person could encounter: home, family, career, finances, nutrition, holidays,
children, and -- most importantly -- time. Ms Luhrs has also written Simple
Loving: A Path to Deeper, More Sustainable Relationships.
"Simple living
is about living deliberately," says Ms. Luhrs. "You choose your existence rather
than sailing through life on automatic pilot. It’s about making deliberate,
thoughtful choices. Being fully aware of why you are living your particular
life, and that your life is one you have chosen thoughtfully."
As a
leader in the voluntary simplicity movement, Ms. Luhrs leads seminars across the
country to help people save time, enhance their health, learn how to make their
money work for them -- and teach them how to say "no" and enjoy life. She
inspires people to prioritize the things that compete for their time, while also
offering practical advice, products, tips, and strategies to help them gain a
greater sense of well-being.
"While prosperity and dual-incomes have
enabled Americans to enjoy unprecedented options -- doing more, owning more,
achieving more -- they have also created a complexity that cause many people to
feel overwhelmed and lose sight of their true purpose, of who they are,"
explains Linda Werner, Vice President, Women’s Group, Phillips Health. "Janet
shows you how to ‘strip your meaningless things away and enjoy your prosperity
with more ease and flow.’ And isn’t that what we’re all looking for?"

Susan Lark, MD, and Phillips Health Create Formula to
Support Overall Brain Health, Mental Performance and Memory
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
(POTOMAC, Md., July 7, 2004) -- Susan Lark, MD, noted medical
researcher, clinical nutritionist and women’s health practitioner, has
formulated a new nutritional supplement for women called Daily Balance Memory
Answer, designed to nourish the brain and enhance women’s ability to focus,
concentrate, recall details and stay mentally motivated and sharp. Dr. Lark’s
memory formula is available exclusively through Doctors’ Preferred, Inc. (DPI),
a subsidiary of Phillips Health, one of the largest North American direct-mail
supplement distributors.
"Starting in their thirties, many women
experience a noticeable decrease in their attention span and their ability to
recall a name or word that’s on the tip of their tongue," says Dr. Lark. "My
patients often complain of a distracted feeling and slower thought processing."
While a healthy diet and moderate exercise can help improve memory, Dr.
Lark has brought together eight nutrients that also play a key role.
Daily Balance Memory Answer includes:
- Chinese Skullcap and Acacia -- Known as LasoperinTM, a proprietary herbal blend that has been the
subject of a recent study. Preliminary findings suggest LasoperinTM improves focus, attention and speed of processing.
- DMAE -- Used by the body to create choline, possibly the most crucial
nutrient for proper brain function, an essential building block for
acetylcholine (ALC) and the neurotransmitter responsible for thinking and
memory.
- Tyrosine -- By enhancing levels of dopamine, the "cheerleader"
neurotransmitter in your brain that makes you feel energized and motivated, this
nutrient helps promote mental functioning under stress.
- Alpha lipoic acid (ALA) -- ALA, along with LasoperinTM and ALC complete a trio of powerful antioxidants
that can pass through the blood-brain barrier to help neutralize free radicals
and help keep individual brain cells healthy and active.
- Ginkgo biloba -- A "memory" herb that enhances blood circulation to
the brain. A recent study suggests it improves attention and performance on
memory tests of post-menopausal women.
- Folic acid, vitamin B6 and vitamin B12 --
Nutrients that convert the amino acid homocysteine into the building blocks for
neurotransmitters.
"This formula can make a tremendous difference in the way
women enjoy their busy lives," says Dr. Lark. "With all of the exciting
advancements in brain health, mental fog is not something we have to live with
anymore."
Dr. Lark has devoted her career to raising awareness of
women’s health issues, such as obesity, hormone replacement therapy and
osteoporosis. She pioneered the use of women’s self-care treatments based on
diet, nutrition, exercise and stress management, and has penned a number of
books, including The Estrogen Decision and her most recent title, which she
co-authored, The Chemistry of Success: Six Secrets of Peak Performance.

the best choices for optimum health. Online visitors may sign up for Dr. Lark’s

board is especially timely," adds Jonathan Missner, Senior Vice President,

background as a practicing naturopathic physician together with his experience
as a scientific advisor in the development of nutraceuticals makes him unique in
natural medicine, and his newsletter will be invaluable to those interested in
gaining a full understanding of natural health."
