Does This Sound Like You?
"You've had blood work done. Your doctor said everything looks normal. But you're still tired all the time, still carrying weight you can't get rid of, still not sleeping well. You don't feel like yourself anymore. And nobody seems to know why."
Fatigue that doesn't improve with rest
Weight you can't lose no matter what you try
Brain fog and poor concentration
Low libido or mood changes
Labs that look "normal" but you don't feel it
On medications you'd rather not need
You deserve a real answer — not "everything looks fine." There usually is one. It just takes the right tests and a provider who takes the time to look.
Telemedicine Consultations — Washington State
Initial Health Consultation & Comprehensive Care
Patients across Washington State — from Ellensburg and upper Kittitas County to the Eastside Seattle communities, the Cascade foothills, Lake Chelan wine country, and the San Juan Islands — get the same level of care from the comfort of home. Every visit is 60 minutes with a board-certified nurse practitioner who has read your chart before you join the call.
01
Metabolic Health Evaluation & Insulin Resistance Treatment
Stubborn weight, fatigue after meals, blood sugar that keeps creeping up — these are signs of insulin resistance, and standard labs almost never catch it early. We check fasting insulin, HOMA-IR, and advanced metabolic markers to find the real problem and fix it. Nutrition guidance for metabolic health, stress and cortisol management, and sleep support are built into every metabolic care plan.
Hormone Therapy for Men & Women in Washington State
Low testosterone in men, perimenopause and menopause in women — hormone changes are real, measurable, and treatable. We evaluate your labs in context of how you actually feel and build a personalized hormone therapy plan when the evidence supports it.
Preventive Health Evaluation & Disease Prevention Consultation
Most chronic disease starts quietly — years before symptoms appear. Cardiovascular risk assessment and advanced lipid testing — ApoB, fasting insulin, and cardiovascular risk markers reveal what's building under the surface. We catch it early, when lifestyle changes still make the biggest difference.
Nutrition, movement, sleep, and stress are not soft recommendations — they are medicine. We build lifestyle protocols that work alongside clinical treatment and monitor your progress with regular lab re-testing and follow-up visits.
We take a thoughtful, individualized approach to hormone replacement therapy. Hormones are prescribed only when lab results and symptoms align, at the lowest effective dose, and with careful follow-up monitoring. This is not one-size-fits-all care.
Women's Hormone Health
Hormone therapy for women is about far more than managing hot flashes. When started at the right time and tailored to the individual, it is a proactive strategy to support resilience, protect long-term health, and sustain quality of life — well beyond the menopausal transition.
Hot flashes, night sweats & sleep disruption
Mood changes, brain fog & cognitive clarity
Low libido & vaginal health
Weight gain & body composition changes
Bone density preservation & cardiovascular protection
Long-term metabolic & brain health support
Men's Hormone Health
Testosterone therapy is not just about energy and libido — it is a proactive investment in long-term health. Healthy testosterone supports metabolic function, cardiovascular resilience, cognitive clarity, and body composition in ways that go well beyond symptom relief.
Fatigue, low energy & motivation
Decreased libido & sexual function
Muscle loss & increased body fat
Mood changes, depression & cognitive fog
Insulin resistance & metabolic risk
Cardiovascular health & bone density
Our approach: Hormone therapy is recommended when lab values, symptoms, and individual goals align — and we consider long-term health outcomes, not just short-term symptom relief. Every patient receives a thorough evaluation, informed consent, and careful ongoing monitoring. Hormones are a tool in a broader strategy, not a standalone solution.
Meet Your Provider
Sergio Fernandez
FNP-C · Family Nurse Practitioner
A Different Kind of Provider
I'm a board-certified Family Nurse Practitioner with nearly 20 years of experience in healthcare. Over time, I became increasingly disillusioned with a "sick care" system that often profits from chronic disease rather than preventing it.
Beacon Hormone & Wellness reflects a different philosophy — one centered on prevention, partnership, and meaningful outcomes. My clinical interests include lifestyle medicine, insulin resistance, metabolic health, and hormone therapy for men and women.
Care here is practical, individualized, and grounded in real life. Lifestyle changes are foundational, and medical therapy is used when it truly adds value.
Outside of medicine, I'm married to my wonderful wife and am a proud father of two boys. Much of my life is spent doing what I encourage my patients to do — staying active, spending time outdoors, prioritizing family, and nurturing my faith.

Two Different Models of Care
What Your Visit Actually Buys You
Most of us have felt it — the rushed appointment, the hand on the door, the sense that no one really looked. That isn't anyone's fault. It's the system. Here's how a cash-pay model changes what's possible.
Traditional Insurance-Based Care
—7 to 15 minutes with the provider
—Often a different face each visit
—Labs limited to what insurance will approve
—"Your labs are normal" — conversation over
—Symptoms managed one prescription at a time
—Messages routed through staff and portals
—Referrals, waiting rooms, and delays
Care at Beacon Hormone & Wellness
◆A full 60 unhurried minutes, every visit
◆The same provider who knows your story
◆Comprehensive labs chosen for your actual concerns
◆We look deeper when "normal" doesn't fit how you feel
◆Root-cause care that treats the whole picture
◆Direct, secure messaging with your nurse practitioner
◆Care from home, anywhere in Washington — no waiting room
You're not paying for a quicker prescription. You're paying for time, attention, and a provider who actually looks for the cause.
Transparent Pricing
Simple, Cash-Pay Pricing — No Surprises

"Sergio was thorough, explained things well, and did not try to get me on medications that were not indicated — in fact, he helped me wean off one I had been taking for far too long. He's followed up with me several times to make sure I am doing well. Would not hesitate to recommend him."

"Sergio has been an integral part of my health journey the last couple of years. He has helped me uncover the mechanisms behind certain health issues that have been difficult for other practitioners to figure out. He is knowledgeable, attentive and takes the time to actually listen, and from there does the best he can to provide a personalized plan to help you get better. I wouldn't want to work with anyone else as closely as I work with Sergio. If I really need help with something, he is my go-to. I highly recommend him to anyone that needs personal and focused healthcare."

A few of the things people most often ask. For everything else, see our full FAQ.
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. 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.
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.
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, most patients use Rupa Health (cash-pay, typically the most affordable) or run labs through their insurance — we help you decide what makes sense.
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. After that, ongoing care is available through a $135/month membership. Labs and medications are billed separately. See full pricing →
We currently serve patients located in Washington State only. You must be physically present in Washington at the time of your telehealth visit.
