A new functional medicine consultation service, provided by an experienced, board-certified internist, is available in Bonita Springs. Zorayda “Jiji” Torres, M.D., of Upstream Medical Consults, PLLC, is practicing this comprehensive approach to help anyone with chronic disease at 27499 Riverview Center Boulevard, Suite 255.

Torres is confident that the addition of functional medicine will allow her to help patients with complex symptoms that she could not assist with before. She is aware of the limitations of conventional medicine and her goal is to help those that want more evaluation and treatment than the typical physician can provide. Torres’ practice is a cash-based and not a primary care clinic.

Chronic diseases have hidden causes and functional medicine can help determine and eliminate them to start the healing process. At Upstream, Torres, a diplomate of the American Board of Integrative Holistic Medicine and a candidate for certification by the Institute for Functional Medicine, can also provide a highly comprehensive preventive care evaluation that includes the use of epigenetics to achieve optimal health.
