He made the opening comments before the unveiling of Dr. Vand’s dynamic website and web-series.

“Dr. Mona Vand has been a great help to me. I call her whenever I have problems or questions, and she’s always there to answer these questions. She’s by far my favorite doctor when it comes to nutrition and choices in medication,” said Simmons.

Several sponsors participated in contributing their products and services to event attendees, including Celsius (a new energy drink company owned by Simmons), Evian, Never Too Hungover, Sugarling LA, Dr. Barrett Plastic Surgery, Tikkun Spa, Visalus,Cycle House, Transcend Recovery Community and Want My Look, owned by Lilly Ghalichi from Bravo’s “Shahs Of Sunset.”

She combines her far-reaching expertise in pharmacy with her strong interest and extensive knowledge in nutrition, beauty, fitness and overall wellness.

The Modern Pharmacist website was created by and features content on a wide range of topics by Dr. Vand. It has earned the sponsorship of Opus Rx, one of the country’s largest compounding pharmacy organizations, and establishes her as the “go to” resource for information on a multitude of health and wellness issues.

Sections on www.DrMonaVand.com are categorized as Health, Beauty, Diet and Skin – and while there is definitely a focus on women, the site also includes an expansive connected site dedicated to men and their health and wellness. Some of the topics covered on the site initially include: information on what a Compounding Pharmacy is, over-the-counter skin care products, birth control, herbal and dietary supplements and much more.
