My Story - Nutrition With You
Claire Margolf

MS, RD, IFNCP, CMCS

Claire Margolf, Registered Dietitian specializing in perimenopause and menopause nutrition, Denver Colorado

I saw a need, changed careers in my 40s — and haven't looked back.

I'm a Registered Dietitian, Integrative & Functional Nutrition Certified Practitioner, and Certified Menopause Coaching Specialist — and the founder of Nutrition With You.

My work sits at the intersection of functional nutrition and menopause — combining root-cause investigation with specialized, phase-of-life care.

I bring both clinical training and a deeply personal understanding of this transition — because supporting women through this stage of life requires both.

My practice is rooted in functional nutrition: an approach that looks for root causes, not just symptom management — using advanced lab testing, personalized nutrition protocols, and evidence-based lifestyle strategies.

I help women understand what's actually driving how they feel — and build a plan to address it at the source.

After completing my clinical training and working in a hospital setting, I saw firsthand how much of our healthcare system is built around managing disease once it's already progressed.

There's a place for that care — but I also saw what was missing.

Very little time is spent asking why symptoms are happening in the first place — or how to intervene earlier, when women start noticing changes but are often told everything is "normal."

At the same time, I was having conversations with friends in their 40s — smart, capable women who suddenly felt off in ways they couldn't explain, and weren't getting clear answers.

That's the gap my practice is built to fill.

I'm also a wife and mom of a teen and pre-teen (gasp) — living the same season of life as many of the women I work with.

Over the years, I've watched close friends change in ways they couldn't explain — sharp, confident women who started feeling like strangers in their own bodies.

One friend told me something I haven't forgotten: "I no longer speak up in meetings because I've lost the confidence that I can find the words."

I've had my own quiet moments too — enough to understand how disorienting this transition can be, and how much it matters to have someone in your corner who truly gets it.

"I wanted to be the practitioner I kept wishing existed for the women in my life."

The Bigger Picture

The foundation you build during perimenopause directly shapes your long-term risk for heart disease, osteoporosis, cognitive decline, and metabolic dysfunction.

This transition isn't just about feeling better now — it's about protecting your health for decades to come.

That's the work I show up to do. And it never gets old.
