Dr. Lani Simpson

Dr. Lani is an incredibly well-​informed, intelligent and dedicated practitioner. To those concerned that she is not an MD, I would like to point out some things about her, as some one who has received treatment from her, and has read her book, and, therefor, gotten the opportunity to work with and know her a bit.
Dr. Lani is better informed about these issues than most MD’s, except maybe those who specialize in the areas she does. Her mentor and one of the many MD’s who respect her and *refer their patients to her* is Claude Arnaud, MD, the foremost medical specialist on osteoporosis.
Another thing I appreciate about Dr. Lani (and why I trust her) is that she takes a very balanced, down-​to-​earth perspective on alternative and conventional medicine. She cautions patients against believing overblown claims that alternative treatments can «cure» them. She acknowledges that conventional medicine is important too. She doesn’t advocate that her patients to avoid conventional western medical doctors, she advocates that they make sure they find *informed* ones who know how to help them.
Doctor Lani has been *training medical doctors* on the various subjects of her areas of expertise for years. She knows her stuff, she’s dedicated to helping people get the right diagnoses and treatments for their *individual cases.* If you are having bone health issues, I strongly recommend seeing her *in conjunction with your doctor.* If you can’t make an appointment, you can still read her book, which is very informative.

Dr. Lani is an extremely gifted diagnostician specializing in Women’s Health issues; but she sees male patients as well. I presented with a myriad of seemingly bizarre symptoms that had Kaiser ineffectually shrugging its shoulders. Dr. Lani ordered a blood test that confirmed her diagnosis of a fairly rare thyroid condition. Western medicine literally has no way to treat this condition. Dr. Lani helped me craft a course of treatment that almost immediately got my symptoms under control and then progressively rehabilitated my affected body systems. I am stronger and faster today than I have ever been. I feel amazing!
I paid out of pocket for my care with Dr. Lani, and did so happily. There is no better investment one can make than in excellent health care. And, I didn’t have to battle a mega medical corporation to get better.

I would send friends and family to Dr. Lani Simpson. In fact, I have. Thanks to her, I got off Fosamax, which was causing awful side effects. (She is not against the appropriate use of medication.) My «regular» osteoporosis doctor spoke alarmingly about what would happen if I didn’t take meds, but he didn’t educate me about bone health. (I should mention that I’m a guy, given that osteoporosis is more common among women.) Dr. Simpson has taught me about supplementation with regard to bone density, as well as how best to exercise. She is also highly knowledgable about interpreting lab results. Although I went to Dr. Simpson because of osteoporosis, her broad and deep knowledge of nutrition enables her to help me with my health overall, particularly with regard to energy level. I couldn’t recommend her more highly.
