About the Practice

Many online hormone clinics follow a one-size-fits-all approach — a quick intake, a standard protocol, and a prescription. Beacon is built differently. Every patient receives a comprehensive evaluation of symptoms, health history, and in-depth lab work before any treatment is recommended. We look at metabolic health, cardiovascular risk, thyroid function, and hormone levels together — not in isolation. Hormone therapy is offered only when clinically appropriate, not as a default. And lifestyle changes are always foundational, because no prescription fixes what daily habits create.

Beacon Hormone & Wellness is a telehealth-based hormone and lifestyle medicine practice serving adults throughout Washington State. We focus on identifying root causes of symptoms like fatigue, weight gain, low energy, and hormone imbalance — using personalized, evidence-based care rather than rushed visits or one-size-fits-all solutions.

Longer, unhurried visits. Root-cause, lifestyle-focused care. Telehealth convenience without sacrificing depth. This practice was built around compassion, integrity, and purpose — not volume. We're not a "pill mill" that puts everyone on the same protocol. The goal is to help you truly heal, not just manage symptoms indefinitely.

No. Beacon Hormone & Wellness is a specialty telehealth practice focused on metabolic health, hormone balance, and cardiometabolic prevention. We encourage patients to maintain a relationship with a local primary care provider for urgent concerns, acute illnesses, and broader medical needs outside our specialty focus.

No — we don't offer quick-fix or crash dieting programs. Weight changes often reflect deeper metabolic or hormonal imbalances. Our focus is improving physiology first — supporting insulin sensitivity, hormone balance, and metabolic health — so weight regulation becomes more sustainable over time.

Who We Help & What We Treat

This practice is ideal for adults who feel exhausted or stuck, have been told their labs are "normal" but still feel unwell, want a thoughtful personalized approach to hormone and metabolic health, and are motivated to improve through lifestyle changes — not just medications.

It may not be the right fit if you need 24/7 on-demand care, want medication without evaluation, need urgent or emergency services, or strongly prefer in-person visits.

Yes. We work with both men and women, commonly addressing low testosterone, perimenopause-related symptoms, fatigue and low energy, weight gain and metabolic concerns, and brain fog or poor sleep.

  • Insulin resistance and prediabetes
  • Type 2 diabetes (lifestyle-centered management)
  • Weight gain and metabolic dysfunction
  • Perimenopause and menopause support
  • Low testosterone in men
  • Thyroid care
  • Persistent fatigue related to metabolic or hormonal imbalance
  • Cardiometabolic risk assessment and prevention

Our goal is to improve how you feel now while also protecting your long-term health.

Cardiometabolic health screening looks at your risk for conditions such as heart disease, stroke, and metabolic disease — often years before symptoms develop. Evaluation may include advanced lipid testing, insulin and glucose markers, inflammatory lab markers, blood pressure assessment, and CAC scoring or carotid ultrasound when appropriate. We believe prevention should be proactive, not reactive.

Treatment & Medications

Yes. Hormone therapy can often be safely and effectively managed via telemedicine, depending on your medical history, symptoms, and lab results. All care is provided in accordance with Washington State regulations and clinical best practices.

When appropriate, yes — including hormone therapy or other medications based on clinical need. We emphasize lifestyle-first care and aim to minimize unnecessary medications whenever possible.

When clinically appropriate, GLP-1 medications may be considered as part of a comprehensive, individualized metabolic treatment plan after thorough evaluation and lab work. We prescribe only FDA-approved GLP-1 medications — not compounded versions — and always alongside the nutrition, resistance training, and lifestyle foundation that protect muscle and sustain results. GLP-1s are one tool, not a standalone solution. Learn more about our GLP-1 approach →

Pricing, Insurance & Membership

No. Beacon Hormone & Wellness is a cash-pay practice. This allows for longer visits, more personalized care, and freedom from insurance-driven limitations. For lab work, you have options: most patients use Rupa Health (cash-pay, typically the most affordable) or run labs through their insurance — we help you decide what makes sense. Medications can often be filled through your insurance pharmacy benefit. See full pricing details →

Your $175 initial fee covers TWO visits: a 60-minute initial consultation AND a follow-up visit to review your labs and build your personalized care plan. There is no separate charge for the follow-up — it's included. After that, ongoing care is available through a $135/month membership that covers regular visits, lab review, prescription management, and secure messaging. Labs are billed separately — either through Rupa Health (cash-pay, typically $150-250) or your insurance, whichever works best for you. Medications and supplements are billed separately.

Labs, imaging (CAC scans, ultrasounds), medications, and supplements are billed separately from your visit fees. For labs, patients can choose Rupa Health (cash-pay, typically $150-250 for a comprehensive panel — significantly less than retail) or run labs through their own insurance — we help you decide which is most affordable for your specific situation. Imaging and medications can often use your insurance. All results are reviewed together in detail so you understand your numbers and risk profile.

After your initial comprehensive visit, patients enroll in a monthly membership that includes ongoing follow-up visits as needed, secure messaging between visits, detailed lab interpretation and plan adjustments, continued guidance and accountability, and ongoing hormone and cardiometabolic monitoring.

Yes — there are no long-term contracts. The goal is to help you as long as needed, not lock you in. Please provide 30 days' written notice to cancel your membership.

Visits & Logistics

This varies based on your individual needs. Most patients start with an initial evaluation, have more frequent follow-ups early on, then transition to less frequent visits once stable and well-managed.

Secure messaging is available for non-urgent questions and follow-up needs. Messages are typically answered within one business day.

Your appointment time is reserved exclusively for you. Payment in full is required at the time of booking. If you need to cancel or reschedule, please provide at least 24 hours' notice — initial visit fees are fully refundable or transferable when changes are made within that window. Appointments canceled with less than 24 hours' notice or missed without notice are non-refundable.

We currently serve patients located in Washington State only. You must be physically present in Washington at the time of your telehealth visit.

Many patients come to us seeking deeper support for metabolic or hormone concerns. While we manage conditions within our specialty focus, we recommend establishing care with a local primary care provider for acute illnesses, urgent needs, and comprehensive medical care outside our scope. We're always happy to collaborate with other providers when appropriate.
