Decoding Perimenopause: Practical Tips for Women in Their 30s and 40s with Margaret Powell

Trust Issues: A Lifestyle, Business & Wellness Podcast with Erika Auckland

Is it burnout, or is it hormones? If you’ve ever felt like you’re doing everything right—the workouts, the greens, the morning routine—but still feel exhausted, bloated, moody, or just not quite like yourself, you are not alone.

My guest today, Margaret Powell, is a functional diagnostic nutritionist who specializes in helping women 35 and up navigate one of the most confusing, frustrating, and under-discussed seasons of life: perimenopause.

Margaret has built a thriving practice helping women decode their symptoms, understand the hormonal shifts happening in their bodies, and create personalized, root-cause solutions that actually work. She doesn’t do band-aid fixes or generic advice; her approach is all about data, lab testing, and empowering women to feel in control of their health again.

In today’s conversation, Margaret is breaking down what’s really happening to our hormones after 35, the most common symptoms that get dismissed or misdiagnosed, and what you can actually do about it. So, if you’ve been feeling “off” lately but can’t quite explain it, or you’ve been told “it’s just part of getting older,” this episode is going to change the game. Click play and let’s dive in!
