In this episode, Margaret unpacks one of the most overlooked pieces of women’s health, and that is detoxification.
She explains why perimenopause creates the “perfect storm” for toxin buildup, hormonal chaos, and inflammation, and how to support your body through this transition with practical, sustainable strategies.
From the liver-gut connection to emotional release, Margaret breaks down why detox isn’t about juice cleanses or quick fixes, but about restoring your body’s ability to process hormones, stress, and toxins efficiently. She shares actionable nutrition, mineral, and lifestyle strategies to improve energy, reduce PMS symptoms, and make your transition into menopause smoother and more empowered.
This episode is a must-listen for women in their late 30s and 40s who are feeling puffy, sluggish, or “stuck” in their health—and ready to finally understand what their body is asking for.

Lots of Love,
I'm a Certified Holistic Nutritionist + Holistic Health Coach, Functional Diagnostic Nutritionist and owner of an integrative virtual wellness clinic that has helped hundreds of women on their journey to optimal health.
I know from my own personal health journey that it's possible to reclaim my body after years of struggling. I was confused and overwhelmed, dismissed by health providers who didn't take the time to understand the "why" behind my symptoms. Then I discovered Functional Nutrition and worked through the process of unraveling the root causes behind my struggles, everything changed.
Now I'm here to help you do the same!
