About Me
Krista Margolis is a Women’s Healthcare Nurse Practitioner, with additional training in menopause and functional medicine - and over two decades of experience providing care for women of all ages.
Spending time with patients and providing relevant education is Krista’s goal with every visit. With so much misinformation and the limited amount of research on women’s health, she values honest, evidence-based conversations with patients - helping them navigate their symptoms in order to build an effective support plan.
The majority of Krista’s clinic days are spent working with women who are somewhere in their perimenopause-menopause transition. Many women show up feeling like something is wrong, with genuine concern about their symptoms. Her goal is for each person to feel heard and validated, guide them towards wellness in their journey, and support their right to choose what works best for them and their families. Krista views each patient interaction as a partnership, knowing she learns as much from them as they do from her!
In addition to her clinical work, Krista’s passion for truth in wellness education motivated her to create the Perimenopause Workshop. During the group sessions, she creates a safe space for women to learn about and process their experiences with this natural and often challenging part of aging. Her expertise and years of experience, coupled with a warm and engaging style, make her a trusted and non-threatening guide for patients.
Krista is married, has three kids, two dogs, and lives near the lakes in southwest Minneapolis. She loves nature and an active lifestyle, spending time with family and friends.
The only thing predictable about menopause is its unpredictability.
Factor in widespread misinformation, a lack of research, and the culture of shame around women’s bodies, and it’s no wonder women are unsure what to expect during the menopause transition and beyond.
Menopause is not a disease–it’s a planned change, like puberty. And just like puberty, we should be educated on what’s to come years in advance, rather than the current practice of leaving people on their own with bothersome symptoms and too much conflicting information. Knowing what is happening, why, and what to do about it is both empowering and reassuring.
