About Krista Bernhoft Margolis, NP, MSCP

Krista Margolis is a nurse practitioner and functional medicine/holistic health practitioner at Southdale ObGyn’s Edina location. She has more than two decades of experience providing care and education for women of all ages.

Krista loves providing wellness education and spending time with her patients. Modern technology is allowing patients access to more information and resources than ever before, giving women tools to better understand and advocate for themselves. But with so much misinformation on the web, Krista values the honest conversations she has with her patients—helping them navigate not just information, but also their concerns and symptoms.

Krista’s passion for wellness education was the impetus for her initiation of the practice’s Perimenopause Workshops. She wanted to create a safe space that helps women with this natural and often challenging part of aging—a place where they can feel supported and surrounded by women who understand. Krista’s expertise and years of experience, coupled with her warm and engaging style, make her a trusted guide for patients in this life transition.

“A lot of people think perimenopause is a disease to be fixed,” said Margolis. “But it’s a totally natural transition and I want women to know the truth and all the ways they can move through it.” She says these workshops help women in perimenopause feel validated and seen while their hormones are shifting. Those who participate also share their experiences with each other, which enriches the program.

Margolis has an emphasis on holistic, integrative medicine. She has practiced at Southdale ObGyn for most of her career. “It’s a great practice with some of the smartest people I know. I also love that we have added midwives to our team. With a variety of providers, we are always learning from one another and are able to bring the best care possible to our patients,” she explained.

When working with patients, Margolis strives to be very approachable, so she can facilitate the best options for their care. She also enjoys getting to know each patient and listening to their unique life and health stories. She says they teach her just as much as she teaches them.

Outside the office, Margolis loves enjoying nature. Her interests include hiking, trail running, mountains, as well as reading and spending time with her husband, three kids and two dogs
