MYTHS AND MISCONCEPTIONS ABOUT PERIMENOPAUSE AND MENOPAUSE

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

Truth: You don’t have to suffer for 10+ years. There are real, safe, FDA-approved treatments that work—and they can change your life.

Myth: "Hormone therapy is dangerous."

Truth: Modern HRT is safe, customized, and improves symptoms by 80% or more—plus it protects your heart and bones.

Myth: "Hormone therapy causes cancer

Truth: Research shows the opposite—HRT can actually reduce cancer risk. (Ask us for the data—we love science.)

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

Truth: You might. Menopause symptoms aren’t just hot flashes. Think joint pain, insomnia, tinnitus, anxiety, low libido, brain fog…

Myth: ""I'm done with menopause - I got through it!"

Truth: Menopause is permanent. Estrogen stays low, and long-term risks increase without treatment—especially for your heart, bones, and urinary tract.

Myth: "Any doctor can handle menopause"

Truth: Menopause specialists receive specific training. This is our focus. We don’t brush it off—we walk with you through it.

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

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

Crystal, a nurse practitioner with over twenty years in healthcare, discovered her passion for menopause care through an unexpected path. After experiencing unexpected perimenopause symptoms and difficulty finding treatment for herself, she recognized the gap between current research and common understanding of menopause treatment. This personal experience, combined with her background in palliative medicine, led her to co-found The Menopause Clinic, offering both telehealth and in-person care. Drawing from specialized training in Menopause Hormone Therapy and Women's Sexual Health from Drs. Heather Hirsch and Kelly Casperson, Crystal helps women make informed decisions about their perimenopause and menopause care. She is preparing to become a North American Menopause Society (NAMS) Certified Practitioner in June 2025.

Dr. Steven Youngblood, Co-founder and Medical Director

Board-certified in internal medicine, Dr. Youngblood has been practicing in Louisiana since 2005. After witnessing Crystal's journey through perimenopause - where she remained undiagnosed and untreated despite actively seeking medical help - he recognized that women's health during menopause was consistently underserved. This personal experience motivated him to pursue specialized training in menopause hormone therapy and women's sexual health. Along with co-founder Crystal Burke, he established a practice dedicated to providing expert menopause care, challenging the notion that women should simply "get through it."

As Medical Director, Dr. Youngblood combines his medical expertise with a commitment to educating patients about evidence-based, FDA-approved treatment options for perimenopause and menopause. His deep Louisiana roots and specialized training enable him to address the specific needs of local women, ensuring they receive comprehensive support during this significant life transition.
