PhD MPH DC
Dr. Torres is a proud native of San Antonio, TX. When he was a science teacher at his alma mater Harlandale Independent School District he quickly realized that he wanted to help people reach their maximal health potential and live the life they were destined to live. Not be struggling with health issues forever. 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 health issues.
Seeing his mother struggle with chronic diseases such as diabetes, Granuloma Sarcoidosis and cardiac disease was all it took for Dr. Torres to make up his mind to be a part of this system that is not adequately serving people.
