Rewriting the Narrative of Women’s Health in New Orleans
Women 35 and up often begin experiencing symptoms of perimenopause long before anyone names it. Sleepless nights, brain fog, mood swings, anxiety, weight gain, or intimacy changes are common—yet many women are told their labs look “normal” or that stress is the cause. At The Menopause Clinic, we believe women deserve better: real answers, real treatment, and real relief. 

Founded by Dr. Steven Youngblood and Crystal Burke, FNP-C, the clinic provides evidence-based care for perimenopause, menopause, and the years beyond. With more than four decades of combined experience and national menopause training, they offer compassionate, personalized care grounded in science.

Crystal’s own perimenopause journey fuels the mission. When her symptoms began, she faced the same confusion and dismissal many women experience. That personal struggle shaped her commitment to ensure no woman navigates perimenopause alone. Dr. Youngblood, an LSU and LSU Medical School graduate, has cared for patients across South and Southeast Louisiana since 2005. Crystal began her nursing career at Tulane and has practiced as a Nurse Practitioner in New Orleans since 2010.

Treating perimenopause is about more than symptom relief—it’s about long-term health. Proper care can protect heart health, preserve bone density, support cognitive function, improve sleep and metabolism, and prevent years of avoidable suffering. Most importantly, perimenopause doesn’t have to disrupt your work, relationships, or quality of life.
