Dr. Lippman first studied conventional medicine. She received her MD in 1973 from the University of Chicago Pritzker School of Medicine. After a pediatric internship at LA County-USC Medical Center, she studied Adult and Child Psychiatry at UCLA and was Board Certified in each specialty.

Soon after, she became dissatisfied with the limitations of a purely psychiatric focus. She changed her practice from psychiatry to alternative medicine in Los Angeles in order to address the whole individual. That was 30 years ago.

Dr. Lippman is referred to as a medical resource in books authored by Suzanne Somers: Ageless, Breakthrough, and Knockout. She is also a medical resource in Jenny McCarthy’s book, Mother Warriors, and on McCarthy’s Generation Rescue website as well. Dr. Lippman is also a regular guest on TV and radio shows.
