"Losing it With Jillian" is a new show on NBC where NBC has joined with well-known health and
fitness professional Jillian Michaels (a trainer from the hit show "The Biggest Loser") and Giancarlo
Chersich (Empowered Media) together with "The Biggest Loser" producers Mark Koops and Howard T. Owens of
Reveille and past "Oprah" executive producer Ellen Rakieten for a captivating new life-changing alternative
series.
In the television series, Jillian Michaels invades a specific family each week to offer them her
personal and mostly expected "gift" of tough love. She gets to the heart of the problems each member of the
family faces -- problems that affect not only their health but their happiness as well -- and provides them with
the tools important to make life-altering changes.
Additionally, the series also features Curtis Stone, celebrity chef, who enchances Michaels'
efforts by freeing the family's home of all unhealthy foods and teaching them recommended nutrition, wholesome
ingredients, food preparation tips and quality recipes.
Jillian Michaels quotes, "When your health is out of balance everything else suffers:
finances, relationships, work and family dynamics. I'm moving in with families across the country, getting
down and dirty and rooting out bad habits in every corner of their lives that are preventing them from health and
happiness. Get ready America because I'm heading out and you never know, I might just end up on your doorstep
so watch out!"
Executive Producer, Mark Koops says "It's time for Americans to stop making excuses for being
unhealthy and take back their lives. Jillian is going to show them exactly how to do just that starting in
their own homes."
"I love the idea of Jillian crisscrossing America to actually move in with families in desperate
need of her tough love wake up call. It's the knock on your door that could save your life," said executive
producer Ellen Rakieten.
The series is eight episodes so far for 2010 and will features Jillian Michaels, the famous health
and fitness coach and wellness expert, as she helps unhealthy households to get their hineys off their sofas
and take their lives back!
Jillian's striking confrontations produce motivational outcomes and most importantly, by way of her
tough love method, she will help these families understand that they can ultimately take control of their lives and
make a change once and for all.
