Dr. Michael Torres

Hi! I'm Dr. Torres, and I'm the person behind every guide you read on My Health Champ.

I've been practicing family medicine for over 15 years. In that time, I've seen the incredible impact that GLP-1 medications can have on my patients' lives — and I've also seen how overwhelming and confusing the side effects can feel, especially when you're just starting out.

Why I Created This Site

Too much medical information online is either overly technical or just plain scary. I wanted to create a place where you could get clear, honest answers about your medication without needing a medical degree to understand them.

Every article on this site is written in the same way I'd explain things to you if you were sitting in my office: plainly, patiently, and without judgment.

My Approach

• Evidence-based: Everything I share is grounded in clinical research and real-world experience.
• Plain language: No unnecessary jargon. If I use a medical term, I'll explain it.
• Practical: I focus on what you can actually do about your symptoms, not just what causes them.
• Honest: I'll tell you when something is concerning, and when it's perfectly normal.

Credentials

• MD from accredited medical school
• Board-certified in Family Medicine (ABFM)
• 15+ years of clinical practice
• Specialization in metabolic health and weight management
• Extensive experience prescribing and managing GLP-1 receptor agonists

Have a question I haven't covered yet? I'm always looking to add new guides based on what people are actually wondering about. While I can't provide personal medical advice through this site, your questions help me decide what to write about next.
