Like thousands of women across the country who are entering mid-life and experiencing the
               first signs of menopause, actress and director, Joanna Kerns looks forward to Act II in life.
               As she begins this next phase, Joanna, a spokesperson for HEALTHY WOMAN® Soy
               Menopause Supplement, embraces the exciting new changes in her life.

               Best known as Maggie Seaver, the wife and mother from the hit sitcom Growing Pains,
               Joanna has enjoyed a rewarding career in television. She portrayed the spirited journalist,
               Maggie Seaver, for seven years from 1985 to 1992. During and after her tenure with Growing
               Pains Joanna starred in over 20 network movies-of-the week and TV series, many of which
               dealt with emotionally-charged topics. Her TV movie credits, include, among others,
               "Emma’s Wish," "Whose Daughter is She" and "Not In My Family."

               Today, armed with a new passion and years of wisdom and experience, Joanna is embarking
               on a new career as a director and writer. She's flexing her talent, creativity and vision
               directing episodes of Ally McBeal, The Practice, and Boston Public, programs that all
               showcase strong and inspirational women. Joanna is also directing a made-for-TV-movie
               that will be released in 2001. Additionally, Joanna is a partner in two production companies.

               Joanna’s success in front of and behind the camera comes to no surprise to family, friends
               and colleagues. Growing up as one of four siblings in a middle class neighborhood in
               Northern California’s Santa Clara Valley, Joanna was highly motivated and dedicated to her
               goal of becoming an Olympic gymnast (incidentally, her sister is noted swimmer and sports
               commentator, Donna de Varona). However, after a serious knee injury at the Olympic trials,
               Joanna turned her attentions to dancing and acting, which eventually led her to career as a
               TV and movie actress.

               Her newest venture as spokesperson for HEALTHY WOMAN® Soy Menopause
               Supplement is symbolic of her successful and highly satisfying lifestyle. This vivacious
               forty-something cherishes close relationships with her husband, architect, Mark Appleton,
               and her daughter, a recent grad from New York University. Her interest in sports and fitness
               has continued through the years - in fact, Joanna is now an avid golfer! But perhaps, most
               important to her HEALTHY WOMAN® lifestyle, Joanna takes a leading role in her finances
               and has done so ever since an eye-opening experience with financial difficulties earlier in
               her career.

               Fortunately Joanna learned early on that a woman needs to tend to her financial health to
               ensure a sound, stable and worry-free lifestyle later in life. Having enrolled in an adult
               education class called “Financial Management for Women” years ago, Joanna now
               participates in all aspects of her finances. Unlike in years past when she relied on business
               managers and agents, Joanna now personally consults with her stockbroker about mutual
               funds, stocks and investments, and confers with her accountant about budget management
               and taxes. She knows where her money is and makes it work for her.

               Joanna’s HEALTHY WOMAN® Lifestyle Tips:

               As Joanna gracefully approaches her menopausal years, she proudly proves that this time
               in life doesn’t signify the end, but rather the beginning of a whole new lifestyle filled with
               endless possibilities! Below, she shares insightful tips and advice for women who want to
               create a healthy, fulfilling lifestyle during and after menopause:

                    Financial Freedom
                    Take control of your finances! If you aren’t already building a portfolio, start now.
                    Rest assured that you will have enough money to support a comfortable lifestyle
                    well into your golden years. Enroll in a finance management course or make an
                    appointment with a financial advisor.

                    Life's Little Indulgences
                    Treat yourself to little indulgences. Your body will be going through many changes
                    over the next few years, so go ahead and splurge on a relaxing massage, luxurious
                    bath oils or a deluxe pedicure.

                    Talent Search
                    Discover your latent talents. Did you love to draw as a child? Do friends and family
                    comment on your singing voice? Why not sign up for an art class or try singing
                    lessons to develop your talents and creativity?

                    Spousal Arousal
                    Confide in your spouse and rekindle that intimacy you shared before the hustle and
                    bustle of kids, car pools and mortgage payments. Let him know you need his
                    support and understanding more than ever. Join a “couples” activity that will keep
                    you close and you can both enjoy like sailing or ballroom dancing.

                    Career Pathing
                    Investigate a new career change or give your current career a jump-start by meeting
                    with a career advisor. Learn how to translate hobbies such as photography,
                    scrapbooking or cooking into a new rewarding career!

                    Jocks Rock
                    It’s your turn on the playing field. Say good-bye to the spectator “soccer-mom” and
                    become a sports buff. Try golf or tennis lessons, join a local softball league or sign
                    up for in-line skating classes.

                    Fuel Up
                    Fuel up on healthful, nutritious foods that will support your active day. If you can’t
                    always eat well every day, make sure to include a multi-vitamin into your daily
                    routine.

                    Charity Challenge
                    Volunteer for a local or national charity that has meaning to you or a loved one. It’s
                    a great social networking outlet and gives you a new perspective on the blessings in
                    your own life. Challenge yourself and others to take a time-out from today’s
                    fast-paced life and make a contribution to your community.

                    Get Your Hands Dirty
                    Get close to nature and get your hands dirty! Start a garden - whether it’s on the
                    sunny windowsill in your kitchen or in the back yard, tending to a garden, floral or
                    vegetable, is both relaxing and rewarding.
