Reinstituting Health
“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. Jacob Torres
| Our Approach
Healthcare Reinvented
01
Discovery Day
During your Discovery Day, you’ll have a comprehensive conversation with the doctor to review your overall health. Please bring any recent medical records, including lab results, MRIs, X-rays, and CT scans. Our primary goal is to help you understand why your body continues to struggle, even after years of medication and visits to various doctors and specialists.
02
Root-Cause Testing
Following your Discovery Day, we’ll dive deeper into understanding the root causes of your health challenges. With a focus on advanced testing, we’ll uncover the underlying factors impacting your well-being, beyond what traditional treatments may address.
03
Personalized Plan Creation
In the week following your Discovery Day, our doctors will review your lab results and their notes to create your customized Total Health Transformation Program. Your doctor will craft a tailored plan with clear milestones to guide your success—whether it’s a few weeks or several months. You’ll leave with the knowledge to make empowered, healthy choices.
04
Ongoing Support
While your program will be uniquely designed for you, you can expect unwavering support throughout your journey. With continuous monitoring of your progress, including lab results, your doctor will fine-tune your plan to ensure it’s working effectively. This ongoing care is crucial for lasting success.
05
Embrace Your New Life
Through smart meal planning, targeted supplements, and focused physical activity, your program will offer a fresh approach that goes beyond traditional treatments. While many doctors focus on medication as the solution, we prioritize long-term wellness without reliance on prescriptions. Our success is seeing you thrive—medication-free— and sharing your success story six months from now.

Patient Testimonials
Adrienne F.
Eddie R.
“Although I am a new patient of the Institute for Functional Health, I couldn’t be more satisfied with my decision to seek them out and chose them to help attain my goal to be in the best optimal health possible at the age of 55. After some lab work and consultation, they had a plan for me to start this journey and explained how we would tackle this process. Eric Salinas was extremely knowledgeable as was the rest of the team led by Dr. Torres. I am excited to get started and see results knowing that Eric Salinas is there to back me up with any questions I may have during this journey.”
Emma T.
“I feel like I get much better care at the Institute for Functional Health than from my regular doctors. Much better. Dr.Salinas seems to actually care about me and my health. He is very knowledgeable and welcomes emails with my questions. He set me up with a personal contact with one of the trainers when I had difficulty with some of the exercises on the app. I am regaining my health day by day.”
Charles C.
“Dr. Torres has worked hard to help me reach my health goals. Only one major one left, but resounding success with all the rest. He listens and has good insight in how to get our bodies to respond.”
