1. BEHAVIOR: BEFORE YOU CAN CHANGE THE OUTSIDE, CHANGE AT A DEEPER LEVEL. PAMELA AYE SIMON, author of "Chubby No More": "Before you can change your outside, you need to change things at the deepest level. Consider this unusual workout -- no athletic shoes required. For 10 minutes every morning and 10 minutes every night, perform a series of mental exercises that help change the way you see yourself. These exercises are individualized. For example, identify the foods or behaviors that set off your personal guilt alarm. Identify the personal payoffs for staying fat (yes, there are payoffs, or we'd all be skinny) versus being thin. Visualize your thin self in a very specific way. As long as you see yourself as a fat person, you will be a fat person. Weight loss, particularly lasting weight loss, truly starts and ends in your head." News Contact: Joanne Levine, joannepr@aol.com Phone: +1-847-327-9530 (5/11/06)

2. HEALTH: BREAST PAIN PLAGUES MILLIONS OF WOMEN. GERIANNE TRINGALI DIPIANO, founder and CEO of FEMMEPHARMA GLOBAL HEALTHCARE, INC., a female- focused pharmaceutical firm: "Breast pain is a widespread problem. Roughly 26 million women in the United States complain of the disorder, and about 15 percent of women experience symptoms severe enough to warrant medication. Yet, if a woman goes to her physician for relief, she likely will be faced with several inferior choices: an FDA-approved prescription medication that typically causes unpalatable side effects, or an over-the-counter pain reliever that doesn't address the underlying causes." News Contact: Lori Iller, lori@comsolutionsgroup.com Phone: +1-215-884-6499 (5/11/06)

3. INSURANCE: MAIL SERVICE PHARMACY OFFERS MANY BENEFITS FOR SENIORS. DR. EDMUND PEZALLA, vice president and medical director for PRESCRIPTION SOLUTIONS: "With millions of seniors now signed up to receive coverage of their prescription drugs through the Medicare Part D program, mail service pharmacy is expected to grow to accommodate the increased demand. Mail service offers not only convenience and cost savings, but also additional safety measures to prevent potential dispensing errors and to better coordinate drug usage. When seniors receive their medications by mail, they reap the benefits of cost-effectiveness, convenience, clinical oversight and even care management services for chronic illness."

4. NUTRITION: HOW DO WE FEED OUR BODIES WITH 'REAL FOOD'? LIZANNE FALSETTO, former model and CEO of THINK PRODUCTS, which manufactures organic food bars: "How many meals do we eat on the run? With Americans busting at the seams, obesity and diabetes reaching all-time highs, preparing real food at home becomes increasingly difficult and out of fashion. How do we feed our bodies with 'real food' that powers our brains and beauty? Are engineered foods like PowerBars worse for us than we realize?" Falsetto can discuss superfoods, the value of organics over conventionally grown foods, dieting with food (as opposed to starving) and diet tips for young women obsessed with their weight.
