Anson Williams
Throughout his life Anson Williams has had an interest in improving health and health care, beginning at a young age when he was influenced by his cousin and mentor, Dr. Henry Heimlick, known for inventing the Heimlick maneuver that has saved countless choking victims. As a husband and the father of five daughters, Williams has a particular concern about women’s health, and this led him to the invention of Cool Flash for the Hot Flash, a topical, safe, non-hormonal, non-pharmaceutical treatment for hot flashes, which are commonly experienced by 85 percent of pre-, post- and menopausal women, as well as pregnant women and women undergoing chemotherapy.
Most known for his decades-long career in television as a director (Beverly Hills 90210, Melrose Place, L.A. Law, Profiler, SeaQuest DSV, Star Trek: Deep Space Nine, Star Trek: Voyager, Xena: Warrior Princess, Hercules: The Legendary Journeys, Sabrina the Teenage Witch, Charmed, Secret Life of the American Teenager, and his iconic role as “Potsie” on the series Happy Days, Williams was inspired by friend and mentor, Gary Marshall, who encouraged him “to be entrepreneurial, be curious and help others along the way.” Today Williams is a successful entrepreneur who in 2000 founded StarMaker Products with business partner JoAnna Connell, a top make-up artist for film and television. Together they created and marketed a high quality cosmetics and skin care product line of formulations previously available to only film and TV stars.
While working on location for a film project in Texas during record-breaking heat, Williams found relief in the form of a bandana dipped in cool water and astringent and wrapped around his neck. This common method of cooling off actors and crew used by medics on film sets gave Williams the idea for Cool Flash for the Hot Flash. William reinvested profits from the StarMaker enterprise to research and develop Cool Flash for the Hot Flash, the first product offering of Physicians Prefer, a company he founded in consultation with a team of highly skilled doctors, clinical pharmacists, chemists and laboratory researchers who share his dedication to developing natural and non-toxic health care products.
Williams’ primary interest was in creating a product to treat hot flashes that did not have dangerous side effects, such as estrogen replacement therapy, which is known to cause breast cancer. Williams also wanted to make the product accessible to consumers at an affordable price. The result is Cool Flash for the Hot Flash gel, which retails for $10 and is available in drug stores and health stores nationwide.
Williams takes great pride in creating a product that can help relieve discomfort and embarrassment for the millions of women who suffer from hot flashes. He is gratified that physicians nationwide recommend Cool Flash for the Hot Flash to their patients, and he continues in his quest to advance treatments and raise awareness of women’s health issues by donating a portion of proceeds from Physicians Prefers to Cure Breast Cancer.org.
