Simeons discovered a treatment for malaria and contributed to research that helped control the bubonic plague and leprosy, he's best known for his development of the HCG Diet Protocol, which has helped countless people lose weight in the decades since its development. Throughout decades of research into obesity, Dr. Simeons held that obesity, or the tendency to accumulate an abnormally large amount of body fat, is a metabolic disorder and not the result of overeating, as many would have us believe.

Simeons concerned himself with building a theoretical structure that would explain obesity and help interpret what happens in the obese body.

He was born in London and graduated [summa cum laude: with honors] with an MD at the University of Heidelberg.
