Not your mother’s menopause care — or her perimenopause.
Not your mother’s menopause care — or her perimenopause.
Perimenopause can happen at age 35+ and is more than hot flashes. It can show up as anxiety, poor sleep, brain fog, joint pain, itchy skin—even heart palpitations. If you’ve been wondering whether it’s all connected, it probably is.
This interactive body map helps you make sense of what’s happening—and shows you that what you're feeling is not only real, but treatable.
Whether you're getting ready for your first visit or just starting to explore your symptoms, this tool is here to help you feel seen, supported, and informed.
You don’t have to figure it out alone and you don't have to wait for treatment.
Our patients often tell us that perimenopause left them exhausted, moody, and disconnected.
This video shares one of those stories — and the relief of finally being heard and finding real options like HRT.
Meet with a provider who listens and specializes in perimenopause and menopause. We’ll review your symptoms and health history.
We’ll create a science-backed plan tailored to your symptoms, goals, and lifestyle. Hormonal and non-hormonal options available.
Our membership gives you follow-ups, refills, and adjustments as your needs evolve. You’re not in this alone.

Q: Is it safe to prescribe hormone replacement therapy (HRT) through telehealth?
Yes! HRT can safely and appropriately be prescribed through telehealth. Decisions about treatment are based on your detailed health history, the symptoms you have and how they affect you, a review of any available lab results, and ongoing communication between you and your provider.
Q: Do I still need in-person exams?
Yes. It is expected that all patients continue routine clinical exams and preventive screenings with their primary care provider and/or gynecologist. These include breast exams, pelvic exams, cervical cancer screening, and other age-appropriate tests that are essential for your overall health
Q: What guidelines do you follow?
At The Menopause Clinic, we follow evidence-based care standards, including the guidelines of The Menopause Society, to make sure your care is both safe and effective.
Q: Are you legitimate?
Absolutely. The Menopause Clinic is a real medical practice based in Louisiana. Our providers are licensed, credentialed, and experienced in menopause and perimenopause care. We prescribe and monitor treatment in line with national standards and The Menopause Society guidelines, and all visits are conducted through secure, HIPAA-compliant telehealth platforms.
Q: Will I ever need an additonal in-person exam before starting HRT?
Sometimes. It is expected that all patients have routine clinical exams and preventive screenings with their primary care provider and/or gynecologist. Based on medical discretion and your individual circumstances, we may recommend an additional clinical exam prior to starting or continuing HRT. This helps ensure your treatment plan is safe, personalized, and aligned with best practices.
Q: Do I need lab work before my appointment or before starting HRT?
We do not order labs before your appointment. It is important to us that we get to know you, your symptoms, medical treatment and goals before we order labs or prescribe medications. All of this will be discussed during your appointment. Will you need labs before starting HRT? Not always. According to The Menopause Society guidelines, lab tests are not required for most patients before beginning HRT—treatment can often be started based on your history and symptoms. In some cases, your provider may recommend bloodwork (for example, checking thyroid, cholesterol, or hormone levels) to guide treatment or rule out other causes of your symptoms. Ongoing labs may also be advised depending on your specific situation, treatment and overall health.
And if you want labs, we can help with that too—we’ll order them for you and make sure the results are reviewed and factored into your care plan.
Q: Do you take insurance?
We don’t bill insurance directly, but most patients use insurance for labs and prescriptions. If you’re eligible, we can also provide superbills for you to submit for possible reimbursement.
Q: Will my medications be expensive?
Usually not. Most of our patients use their insurance at the pharmacy and pay only a small copay—sometimes nothing at all. If you don’t have insurance, we’ll work with you to find the most affordable options available.
Q: Is this only for menopause?
Nope! In fact, most of our patients are in perimenopause, which typically starts in the late 30s through the late 40s.
Q: Can I cancel anytime?
Yes. There’s no long-term contract—just real care, month to month.
Q: Can I do everything remotely?
Yes! All consults are done by secure video visits, and most prescriptions and labs are ordered electronically. The only exception is testosterone: you will need to be seen in person before prescribing, and if that applies to you, we’ll discuss it together.
Q: Why use telehealth for menopause and perimenopause care?
Telehealth provides a convenient and effective way to manage menopause and perimenopause symptoms, while still ensuring you stay connected with your broader healthcare team for in-person care when needed. And because discussing your symptoms can feel personal, it’s important you’re in your comfort zone—whether that’s your desk, your kitchen table, or even your couch.
Q: Do you see out of state patients?
We can see patients that live out of state but you must be located in Louisiana at the time of your visit.

At The Menopause Clinic, our mission is to empower women in perimenopause and menopause with compassionate, expert care. We are dedicated to providing personalized treatments that address their symptoms, restore their well-being, and help them rediscover their vibrant selves. We aim to be a trusted partner in helping women regain control of their health and quality of life.
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 October 2025.
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.
