42. Redefining Midlife Wellness: How to Manage (Peri)Menopause Symptoms with Margot Witteveen

Modern Latina in Midlife

In this episode, I’m thrilled to sit down with Margot Witteveen, a functional medicine dietitian and co-founder of Perfectly Portioned Wellness, where she and her team focus on women’s hormone health, especially during the transition from perimenopause to post-menopause. As women, we often don’t talk about this phase of life enough, and many of us are left navigating changes in our bodies—weight gain, hormonal shifts, mood swings—without the tools we need. Margot breaks it all down for us, from understanding what’s really happening in our bodies during perimenopause, to offering practical tips on how to support ourselves through these changes. If you’ve ever felt confused, frustrated, or alone in this journey, this episode is for you!
