Personalized and Convenient Menopause Care

Estrogen Therapy

Progesterone Therapy

Progesterone Therapy

In women, estrogen plays a key role in brain health, bone health, and heart health. It can affect every part of the body, including hair, skin, and nails. Around age 40 for most women, perimenopause starts and estrogen starts to decline, which can lead to bothersome symptoms and the development of chronic conditions, like osteoporosis, heart disease, and diabetes. Menopause treatment, including hormone replacement therapy can help to reduce symptoms and help you to live longer and better. 

Progesterone Therapy

Progesterone Therapy

Progesterone Therapy

In women, progesterone is essential in sleep and emotional regulation. Around age 40 for most women, the ovaries stop producing progesterone and it can lead to bothersome symptoms that can significantly affect quality of life. Menopause treatment, including hormone replacement therapy can help to reduce symptoms and help you to live longer and better. 

Testosterone Therapy

Progesterone Therapy

Testosterone Therapy

While not commonly known, testosterone is essential in women to regulate mood, energy, bone health, and brain function. Around age 40, most women's ovaries stop producing testosterone, which can lead to bothersome symptoms, decrease cognitive function, and have a negative impact on bone and muscle health. Menopause treatment, including hormone replacement therapy can help to reduce symptoms and help you to live longer and better. 

Studies show women need to see an average of 5-7 Healthcare Professionals before being diagnosed with perimenopause and still have difficulty finding appropriate treatment. If you're having difficulty finding menopause treatment, you've come to the right place!

Peri/Menopause Can Affect Your Relationships, Work, Productivity, and Self-Confidence.

You don't have to suffer. Menopause treatment can help.

MYTHS AND MISCONCEPTIONS ABOUT PERIMENOPAUSE AND MENOPAUSE

 

Myth: "It's just menopause - every woman goes through it. You'll survive!"

Truth: Hold up. Yes, menopause is natural, but suffering through symptoms for 10+ years isn't some badge of honor. Think about it - we don't tell people with diabetes to just "tough it out" because it's "natural," right?

Here's the game-changer: there are real, FDA-approved treatments that work. Not random internet supplements - actual, scientific solutions that can help you feel like yourself again.

Bottom line: Just because something is natural doesn't mean you have to suffer through it. Help is available, and there's zero shame in taking it.

 

Myth: "Isn't hormone therapy dangerous and full of side effects?"

Truth: Let's bust this myth wide open. Today's hormone therapy options are safe, FDA-approved, and totally customizable to YOU. We don't just throw prescriptions around - we look at your whole health picture and find what works best for you.

The goal? At least 80% improvement in your symptoms (yes, really!), plus some amazing long-term perks like protecting your heart and bones. And we'll be with you every step of the way, making sure your treatment is working exactly as it should.

Bottom line: There's a solution out there that will work for you - and we'll find it together.

 

Myth: "Hormone therapy causes cancer - everyone knows that!"

Truth: Okay, this might blow your mind, but the opposite is actually true. Ready for this? HRT can decrease your cancer risk by more than 20% in many cases. Yes, you read that right - DECREASE. (ASK US FOR THE SCIENCE-WE LOVE TO SHARE)

Here's the shocker: your cancer risk might actually be higher WITHOUT hormone therapy. And those scary stories about breast cancer? They're based on outdated information. Today's forms of HRT don't increase your risk of breast cancer or any other cancer.

Bottom line: We've been afraid of the very thing that could help protect us. Wild, right? Sometimes what "everyone knows" isn't what the science shows.


Myth: "I don't have any menopause symptoms."

Truth: Hold that thought! Here's the thing - menopause isn't just hot flashes and mood swings. Those achy joints that you blamed on getting older? That anxiety that seemed to come out of nowhere? The weird ringing in your ears? Surprise... they might all be menopause!

Here's what nobody tells you. Menopause can show up as:
• Joint pain (yep, those creaky knees!)
• Skin changes
• Anxiety and depression
• Insomnia
• Tinnitus (that mysterious ear ringing)
• Changes "down there" (which happen to literally every woman)

Bottom line: You might not recognize menopause symptoms because no one ever taught us what to look for. Mind-blowing, right? Knowledge really is power here!

 

Myth: ""I'm done with menopause - I got through it!" Truth: Let's get real here. Menopause isn't like a  bad cold that passes - it's more like a permanent change in your body's operating system. Once you hit menopause, your estrogen levels stay low forever. And that matters because estrogen isn't just about hot flashes and mood swings.

Here's the deal: your heart actually needs estrogen (surprise!). In fact, heart disease is the #1 killer of women, and estrogen helps protect us. And those UTIs that seem like just a nuisance? They're actually one of the main reasons women end up in nursing homes - no joke. Without estrogen, your urinary and vaginal health changes permanently, making you more prone to infections.  

Also, Your bones strongly disagree. Here's a wake-up call: fractures are one of the main reasons women end up in nursing homes, and estrogen is your bones' natural protection against breaks. Without treatment, you're basically firing your bones' security guard.


The bottom line? Menopause isn't something you "get through" - it's a lifelong change that needs lifelong attention. But hey, knowledge is power! Understanding this helps us make smarter decisions about our long-term health.

 

Myth: "There's no such thing as a menopause specialist - just talk to any doctor!"

Truth: Actually, there are doctors and nurse practitioners who are specifically trained in menopause care (yes, it's a real specialty!). They've sought out specialty training and know exactly how to handle everything from hot flashes to heart health. Think of them as your menopause GPS - they know all the shortcuts to feeling better and can map out a personalized treatment plan just for you.

Be heard. Be seen. Be understood.

We understand the challenges of perimenopause and menopause. The relentless symptoms that can affect your quality of life-hot flashes, mood swings, and sleepless nights-can leave you feeling frustrated and exhausted. Menopause deserves comprehensive care. We offer evidenced-based solutions tailored to your needs, prioritizing your goals. We see all patients via telehealth so you can receive personalized and convenient care without leaving your home.  

What is Perimenopause and Menopause?

Menopause is one year after the last menstrual period. The body's transition to menopause is called Perimenopause and can last 10 years. For most women, Perimenopause starts in the early 40's but can start as early as late 30's.  During Perimenopause, women can experience hormonal symptoms directly related to the loss of hormones that happen during this transition. While it seems Hot Flashes are the most well-known symptom, there are many symptoms that are not as known and can be surprising. Here are a few: 

 

  • Hot Flashes/Night Sweats
  • Fatigue/Sleep Problems/Insomnia
  • Vaginal Dryness/Itchiness
  • Low Libido
  • Weight Gain, especially around the abdomen
  • Memory Issues/Brain Fog
  • Dry Skin/Itchy Skin/Skin Changes
  • Irregular Periods
  • Incontinence
  • Migraines/Headaches
  • Depression/Anxiety/Panic attacks
  • Bloating/GI issues
  • Itching
  • Hair Loss/Hair Thinning
  • Palpitations
  • Dizziness
  • Tinnitus 
  • Joint Pain
  • Muscle pain 
  • Inability to gain muscle

Meet Our Providers

Dr. Steven Youngblood, Co-founder and Medical Director

 

As a resident of Louisiana, Dr. Youngblood has been practicing medicine since 2005. 

Throughout his years of practice, Dr. Youngblood noticed a troubling pattern – women's health, particularly during the menopause transition, was consistently underserved. While medical schools excel in many areas, they often skip over this crucial aspect of women's healthcare, leaving many physicians underprepared to address the complex symptoms and challenges of menopause.

Rather than accept this status quo, Dr. Youngblood, alongside co-founder Crystal Burke, pursued specialized training in menopause hormone therapy and women's sexual health. Their mission was clear: to provide Louisiana women with the expert care they deserve during this significant life transition.

"Women shouldn't have to 'suck it up' or 'get through it' when it comes to menopause symptoms," Dr. Youngblood often says, challenging the dismissive attitudes many women encounter in healthcare settings. He's passionate about educating his patients on the various evidence-based, FDA-approved treatment options available for both perimenopause and menopause.

As Medical Director, Dr. Youngblood brings both medical expertise and genuine compassion to his practice. He understands that quality of life matters at every age, and he's committed to helping women navigate this phase of life with confidence and optimal health.

His deep roots in Louisiana communities, combined with his specialized training in menopause care, make him uniquely qualified to understand and address the specific needs of local women. Through his work, Dr. Youngblood continues to bridge the gap in women's healthcare, ensuring that no woman has to face menopause without proper medical support and understanding.

Crystal Burke, FNP-C, Co-Founder, and Lead Nurse Practitioner

A nurse practitioner with over twenty years in healthcare, Crystal brings an understanding shaped by years of working alongside patients during their most challenging moments. Her path to this specialty wasn't planned - it grew naturally from her experience in palliative medicine, where she learned the fundamental importance of giving patients clear information and meaningful choices about their care.

During the COVID-19 pandemic, while working with critically ill patients, Crystal experienced unexpected perimenopause symptoms herself. Like many women, she discovered how little she actually knew about this stage of life. This personal experience, combined with her healthcare background, led her to investigate the science of menopause care more deeply.

What she found was eye-opening: there is a significant gap between current research and common understanding about menopause treatment options. This realization inspired her to co-found The Menopause Clinic, where she focuses on making evidence-based menopause care accessible through hybrid care (telehealth and in-person visits).

Today, Crystal works with women to help them understand their options during perimenopause and menopause. Her approach centers on sharing evidence-based information and helping each woman make informed decisions about her own care. She continues to learn from her patients while supporting them through this important life transition.
