Frequently asked questions

Fatigue, low libido, mood changes, weight resistance, or midlife symptoms may warrant evaluation. Start with a consult under Dr. Kristina Torrence — labs and history decide next steps, not a template. More detail lives on our hormone therapy page.

Those symptoms can relate to perimenopause, thyroid function, sleep, stress, iron, or several factors together. We do not diagnose online. A complimentary consult with history — and labs when indicated — clarifies what to evaluate next. See also our menopause care page.

Bioidentical hormones match the molecular structure of hormones your body makes; other HRT options may use different structures. Choices are explained after labs and history — therapy only when clinically appropriate.

Tell us before starting therapy. Traditional TRT can affect fertility. Fertility-aware alternatives may be discussed when appropriate after labs — nothing is automatic. Details on our TRT page.

Candidacy is individual. PCOS often comes up in consults, but Kairos will not declare eligibility online. Confirm after consult and labs when indicated. See /services/weight-loss/glp-1.

No. Brand-name and compounded products differ in FDA approval status, formulation, and access. We explain options at consult without overselling equivalence.

Assessment, lifestyle support, and medical tools when appropriate (e.g. compounded GLP). Weight Loss Membership is $99/mo for check-ins; meds billed by vial when prescribed.

Pressure and heat are commonly described; topical numbing is often used. Downtime and series plans vary — confirmed in person on our Morpheus8 page and at consult.

Kairos aesthetics favors natural-looking refresh. Neuromodulators and fillers (when used) follow assessment — not a one-size freeze.

Xeomin/botox-family neuromodulators, fillers, Morpheus8, lasers, peels, facials, and memberships for Upper/Full Face tox every 4 months.

Online claims often oversell recovery. At Kairos, BPC-157 is considered only in a supervised pathway after evaluation — not a guaranteed healing product. See peptide therapy education on this site.

No. We do not supervise patient-sourced research peptides. Clinic pathways use medically appropriate sourcing and follow-up inside our LegitScript-certified practice.

IV delivers fluids and nutrients in clinic. Peptides (e.g. BPC-157, GHK-Cu when appropriate) are supervised options after clinical review — not DIY kits.

Care is physician-led under Dr. Kristina Torrence, a board-certified Medical Doctor, with licensed clinical support and monitoring.

Timelines vary. IV may feel same-day; hormones and weight loss often weeks to months; neuromodulators often days to 1–2 weeks. No guaranteed outcomes.

Goals, history, labs as needed, options, timeline, and transparent next steps — including cost discussion. Book a complimentary consult to start.
