Perimenopause Class: Coming Again This Fall

Perimenopause is a natural life transition leading up to the end of your period. While it can bring many positive changes to your life, it can be also a time of challenge. Many people experience symptoms that range from night sweats and hot flashes to problems sleeping and anxiety.

This 3-part workshop, led by Krista Bernhoft Margolis, a women’s health and functional medicine/holistic nurse practitioner, will offer insight into positive steps you can take to improve your journey through this time of change.

In a safe, nurturing environment with other like-minded women, you will:

  • Learn about western medicine approaches that can include hormone therapies, bone density screenings, and heart health recommendations
  • Discover how such complementary therapies as meditation, acupuncture, herbs, and stress reduction can support you
  • Explore the roles of nutrition and sleep

When: Nov. 25, Dec. 2, Dec. 9

Cost: $100

Time: 6-8 pm

Location: Southdale OBGYN, Edina, 3625 W. 65th Street, #100

About Krista Bernhoft Margolis, RN, APRN, WHCNP

At Southdale OBGYN, nurse practitioner Krista Margolis uses a holistic approach to health care to support and empower women as they navigate the many stages and transitions of their lives. She strives to create and nurture a therapeutic relationship with each woman she meets, applying the principles of functional medicine, which include addressing the whole person rather than just treating symptoms.

“This course puts you in community with an amazing facilitator and other amazing women to learn from one another, help you to feel sane, and understand that none of us are alone. Nurse Practitioner, Krista Margolis, is a deeply knowledgeable, kind, compassionate and fun healthcare practitioner and educator. She creates a platform where she shares important ways to deal with so many of the symptoms and side effects women experience when going through the hormonal shift.” 

“The perimenopause class was amazing and so was Nurse Practitioner Krista Margolis. I generally find very little value in what I receive from our modern health care system but Krista blew me away with the knowledge and solutions to the real problems woman face. She offered us an amazing mix of holistic and medical solutions to menopause and perimenopause.”
