Dr. Hankins and Dr. Sohn in conjunction with Mary Sullivan-Bryan of Advanced Aesthetics,
are proud to be featured on the Ultimate Women Challenge, a first run nationally syndicated
broadcast television series launching in over 60 million homes across America, airing in
September 2010 on NBC. The show features 16 women who are given the opportunity to
take off their make-up, put aside the Botox, and put on their gloves in a historic competition
that fuses elements of mixed-martial arts with reality TV. The show delves into the lives of
these women, pulling from them the most intriguing details of what drives them to compete in
the sport, with weekly challenges and eliminations. Their coaches are top ranked and world-
renowned fighters who themselves know what it takes to make it in the difficult world of MMA.
Ultimate Women Challenge is about empowerment for women, and differs from other programs
in that the show has an emphasis on education and community service. Episodes will be
dedicated to a specific social cause or charity. Be sure to watch the show, and root for your
favorite Ultimate Women!
