Perimenopause and Menopause with Dr. Lani Simpson
Week of June 6, 2026
The Heat is ON!
Hormone imbalances, throughout a woman’s life…especially at menopause have health consequences including, bone, heart and mental health. The world of hormone balancing, testing and treatment is all over the map. Some “anti-aging” doctors recommend high doses of hormones during menopausal transition, while other doctors recommend very low doses and often incorrect forms of estrogen that do not provide bone support to prevent bone loss. Some women can lose up to 15-20% post menopause for 5-7 years, without hormones. Some doctors are behind the times, still thinking that hormone therapy’s risks outweigh the benefits. Not all women can take hormone therapy – then what? There are ways to minimize symptoms and reduce bone loss. Dr. Lani offers a No-No-Nonsense approach to hormone testing and treatment options to consider.
Our Hormones, Including Hypothyroidism
Signs and symptoms of hormone imbalance seen in menopause and premenstrual syndrome. Bone loss can be significant, starting with irregular cycles. The difference between bio-identical hormone therapy and traditional hormone therapy will be presented. Best and worst testing methods for hormones including blood, saliva and urine testing are offered, which testing method is best to evaluate hormone levels? Hypothyroid is a condition that surfaces around menopause for many women. Too much thyroid medication and result in bone loss. It is all about balance!

Dr. Lani Simpson DC, CCD, is a Certified Clinical Densitometrist (analyzes bone density exams), chiropractor and author of the best-selling book, Dr. Lani’s No Nonsense Bone Health Guide. In 2016, her PBS show: Stronger Bones, Longer Life was aired nationally. She herself was diagnosed with osteoporosis in her mid-40’s and as an avid biker, runner, and tennis player she had never fractured a bone. Her own diagnosis set her on a course to learn about the complexities of bone health. She went on to develop a well-rounded diagnostic approach that includes bone density testing, lab tests, nutritional analysis, and exercise. She learned that there is no one-size-fits-all approach, and she supports the wise use of bone medications. It is her life’s mission to educate the public regarding osteoporosis prevention, and an osteoporosis diagnosis so that they are better able to advocate for themselves with their healthcare providers. Now at the age of 75, Dr. Simpson continues to teach bone-related courses and she is still fracture free.
