Industry = Healthcare

Press Release Summary = The producers of SUPERNANNY are seeking people who want to
make a difference in their lives - and possibly win a large sum of money. Project
PCOS is seeking women with PCOS to share their stories andspread awareness of PCOS!

Press Release Body = The new show is committed to transforming people\'s lives and
being an inspiration to others. It\'s a weight loss show that takes participants on
the journey of a lifetime, leaving them in a completely new place than where they
started - and possibly winning a large sum of money. It will be inspirational,
health-conscious, and entertaining.

Many women with PCOS have difficulty looosing weight as up to 80% of women with PCOS
have insulin resistance and/or health issues as a result of PCOS that make most
normal dieting and weight loss strategies fail.

Furthermore, of the ten percent of women worldwide who have PCOS, it is estimated
less than half know they have it and as a result have much higher risk factors for
diabetes, heart disease, stroke and cancer.

According to Project PCOS Medical Advisor Dr. Dennis Gage ( Author: The Thinderella
Syndrome), \" Patients with PCOS improve their Insulin Resistance and indeed some
patients have actually reversed much of their syndrome simply by significantly
losing weight. Many patients who are successful at keeping weight off are able to
have a return of normal menses even without medications. It is one of those strange
situations where if you push hard enough, you seem to be able to reverse the
syndrome. Thus defensive eating, a technique I teach in my TLC Program, means that
you are practicing a certain pattern that you always hold on to and it is not as if
you permit yourself to go back up in weight. Clearly \"yo-yo\'ing\" for a PCOS patient
would connotate a return of Insulin Resistance and the syndrome would bear down just
as it had at the beginning before this patient dieted.\"
