Dr. Jacob Torres PhD MPH DC

Dr. Torres is a proud native of San Antonio, TX. He was born to a Mexican immigrant and a mother that did not graduate from high school. He knows the value of living with struggles and feels very appreciative for the position that he is in today. He started off his professional career by teaching science at his Alma Mater and really enjoyed teaching kids . He thought he was going to teach and coach and eventually retire as an educator. At the time he was seeing his family struggle with health issues. He noticed that there was never an explanation for certain health issues and realized even more that there were no solutions or education being given to people that were struggling with chronic/preventable diseases. Seeing his mother struggle with chronic diseases such as diabetes, Granuloma Sarcoidosis and heart disease was all it took for Dr. Torres to make up his mind to be a part of this system that he felt was not adequately serving people.

“This healthcare system as it stands is broken. It is up to people to fix it, by making the right choices and taking their health in their own hands.” Dr. Torres

Dr. Torres began his education thinking that he wanted to contribute to health promotion through fitness. He earned his Bachelor’s of Science in Exercise with an emphasis in Public Health. After personal training successfully and being featured in many editorials in San Antonio on fitness, he decided he wanted to learn more.

Being an athlete all his life and playing collegiate football led him to pursue his first doctoral degree in Chiropractic from Parker University in Dallas. He has always been intrigued with the holistic mindset. As we all know that not one system works alone and many health issues are due to lifestyle choices. Chiropractic then introduced him to nutrition and the concept of Functional Medicine. He quickly was able to connect the dots in this healthcare puzzle and realized what was missing for patients. This is when he decided to get certified in Functional Medicine, Functional Blood Chemistry and Autoimmunity, Functional Brain Chemistry and Neurotransmitters. This approach really forges a relationship between the patient and the provider to help discover the root of their problem while modifying all the factors that have caused the issue to begin with.

While running a successful clinic in San Antonio, Dr. Torres felt that there was still more that he needed to learn. That is when he decided to begin and complete Medical School at USAT College of Medicine. He did this fully to understand the shortfalls of why we are not better serving people. He also, wanted to learn from some of the best physicians in the United States. While finishing up medical school he was able to learn from some of the best doctors in the Mercy Hospital System in Iowa. Here, he was exposed to all facets of healthcare from Critical care to Family Medicine to Cardiology and Emergency Medicine. Dr. Torres is an avid learner, and always looking for opportunities to help more people.

Dr. Torres completed his PhD in December 2019. His dissertation focus was the systemic contribution to Cognitive Decline. With Cognitive Decline now rising in mortality rates, he was curious as to the root cause of this terrible disease process. Dr. Torres is also proudly a member of the Institute for Functional Medicine, Functional Medicine University, American College of Lifestyle Medicine and the American College of Physicians.
