Ray H Gin, DC CFMP CTN

I’ve been going to Dr. Gin for the past 8 years. I generally go once/​month or whenever I’m having any type of pain, aches or trouble breathing. Every time I walk out of his office, I feel a sense of relief (mentally & physically). His holistic approach will help address the emotional/​environmental problems that are affecting your body. He’s helped me with a range of issues: digestive, trouble breathing, and random aches/​pains. He’s very professional and it’s easy to make an appt. at his office. Highly recommend him!

If you are looking for the best doctor around, look no more. Dr. Gin is a MIRACLE WORKER and he has truly given me my life back. A simple thank you is not enough to express how grateful I am I came across his practice. I came to him back in April of 2016 at 160 pounds, completely unable to lose any weight whatsoever (I ate pretty healthy and worked out twice a day), a face full of acne, really bad insomnia, total lack of focus and ambition, and severe depression and anxiety. We had a consultation that consisted of talking about my symptoms and him telling me what he thought were some of the problems based off of those symptoms. He had me run blood tests and a week later started his magic. It turns out he was right about 90% of the things that were going wrong before he even had the blood test results! That alone shows how great he is at what he does. We went over the test results and from there he put me on a Paleo autoimmune diet as well as supplementing me with multiple vitamins. He gave me an estimate of how long I would be in this program and how often I need to see him (once a week, for about 12 – 14 weeks). The first few weeks were extremely hard which is no surprise. I’ve been on extremely strict diets before but this time it was so much easier to stay on it because I had Dr. Gin by my side helping me through it and making sure everything was going as planned. I managed to make it through with no cheat days because I was determined to change my life. Here I am 9 weeks later, down 23 pounds down, face completely clear, insomnia gone, focus and ambition restored, and my severe anxiety and depression cured. 9 weeks ago all my body could do was gain weight and be sad, but now I’m getting my life back and I’m healthier and happier than I’ve ever been! I still have about 3 weeks left of the program but that will not be the end of Dr. Gin for me. He is definitely going to be my life long Doctor. He has helped me do things I’ve only dreamed of. Not only am I beyond blessed for Dr. Gin’s magical touch on my life, but my family and friends are too because I am becoming my self again but an even better version! My mom is most grateful and absolutely loves him as do I. After I’m done with my program, she is going to have him touch a little magic into her life as well. He deserves way way way more stars than 5. He’s a life changer!

It’s been a few months since I stopped seeing Dr. Gin regularly and I still feel so much better! Thanks to Dr. Gin I now understand that certain foods and additives were triggering my constant pain. I can now chose to eat in the manner he recommended and when I do so I feel worlds better. I sometimes get off track and the pain returns, but I now know how to get back to being nearly pain-​free.
As I mentioned in my first review, I had been to five gastroenterologists, two of whom had worked at the Mayo Clinic. I’d had many invasive tests and took many prescription meds, but experienced little relief until I found Dr. Gin. I can’t recommend him highly enough!

Best Doctor in Orange County!!! Highly Recommend him, he works on both emotional, mental and physical issues! I went to him with thyroid problems, he had me do a strict dietary cleanse and worked on emotional issues, made me feel like a whole new person and got rid of alot of my problems: Brain fog, Exhaustion, Anxiety, etc… If you are willing to do the change of lifestyle, the rewards are totally worth it! Thank you Dr. Gin!

I’m going to attempt to write a brief but detailed review of Dr. Ray Gin and hopefully will be able to hit on all the important topics readers are looking for. I’m 56 years old and have always been in overall good health until these last 4 years. Over the past few years I have been struggling with chronic pain in my joints, migraines, mental fogginess, some minor stomach pain, bloating, and a 15 pound weight gain I couldn’t shake. My knees, elbows and finger joints were swollen and achy most of the time. I had always been very energetic and active in the past but over the past few years I felt like I was aging very quickly. i was feeling so much older than my chronological age.
Tired of the muscle and joint pain, I decided to see a rheumatologist, but due to her excellent reputation and popularity, I wasn’t able to get a «new patient» appointment for 3 months! I booked the appointment anyway and then went online in hopes of finding another specialist I could see sooner. That’s when I came upon Dr. Gin’s Unilocal reviews by accident. (Now I see it was meant to be.) I was very impressed with the number of positive reviews and was hopeful that he would have answers other doctors didn’t.
My husband and I attended one of Dr. Gin’s classes and were both impressed. After reviewing my history and paperwork, he started seeing me the next week, at which time he immediately put me on an «autoimmune paleo diet» and supplements. I have to admit, I didn’t think my diet was the issue since I already ate very well, had eliminated dairy from my diet 12 years earlier, and ate very little processed foods or sugar. I was eager to find answers and wasn’t too intimidated by the restrictive diet so I agreed to adhere to it for a period of 9 – 12 weeks. It was challenging in that I had to give up a few favorites for a while but I stuck to it religiously. Much to my surprise, I noticed a difference in my clarity and an immediate improvement in my «indigestion» within just 2 days. Within a week, I was excited at the improvements I was experiencing in every aspect of my health — especially the relief in joint pain. This of course motivated me to stick to it. I saw Dr. Gin on a weekly basis and was surprised at the depth of his questions and exam. As the weeks past, I felt better, looked better, and experienced even more mental clarity and improved outlook. I reached the 12-​week mark and Dr. Gin recommended I continue the program a bit longer which I wholeheartedly agreed to. It is now month five and I feel like a new woman. Over the past five months I have been migraine free and as an added bonus, shed 12 pounds with no additional exercise. I was surprised to learn that gluten was one of the culprits and cause for many of my health issues. Turns out you don’t have to have chronic stomach issues to be gluten intolerant. I’m slowly reintroducing some of the healthy foods back in my diet and learning what my body will and will not tolerate.
Dr. Gin’s insight and incredible ability to «read» our bodies is truly a gift. I think it would be safe to assume his background in molecular biology plays a large role in this. His medical intuitiveness and knowledge is a gift that can’t easily be understood or explained… but it can be trusted. I have recommended him to a number of friends who suffer from health issues and are serious about finding answers. I’m so grateful I «accidentally» found him when I did! And FYI: I kept my appointment with the rheumatologist (in spite of the fact I was feeling so much better) just to address the joint issues and make sure I wasn’t missing anything. After all, I waited so long for that appointment! After a thorough exam and hearing of my success with Dr. Gin, she told me to keep doing what I was doing and congratulated me on the improvement in my health, which she found inspiring. Although she saw some slight signs of osteoarthritis in my hands from all the gardening over the years she didn’t see any need for testing or further appointments with her at this time, but I could retain her as my rheumatologist in the future should I need one. She was so impressed with my health improvements that she asked for the name of the doctor who had been treating me. I happily gave her Dr. Gin’s name. So that’s my story… which is now full of optimism about a healthy future. I wish you all the best in your own quest for better health. =)

I knew that Dr. Gin was different from my first visit. I have seen so many different medical doctors over the past years and it was so refreshing to have a doctor explain something in a way that I could understand! It’s so exciting to learn from him about the different factors of health and how we can change our perspective since our health is not just physical. He spoke to the problems I was having with sincerity and knowledge. Here are a few of my many successes so far… I have struggled with acne for about 10 years (done it all, accutane, antibiotics, topical creams, etc.) and this month is the first time my acne has cleared up without using any acne system! I have also struggled with unexplained fatigue and brain fog for about 6 months now. This month, energy, excitement, joy, and clear brain! I have also had migraines for a few years now, about 2 – 3 every month. This month, not one migraine.
There are not many other words I can say except for, thank you, Dr. Gin.

I am a fellow chiropractor who sought out my good friend Dr. Gin to help with my elevated blood work. In short after staying committed for almost two months, I have lost 11lbs of adipose tissue, increased my lean muscle mass and my blood chemistry is slowly returning to normal. I appreciated his expertise and committment to my health.
A 5 star review from another health care provider is actually a 7 star review!
Thanks Ray for all your help.

I came to see Dr. Gin after I was having difficulty getting my energy and physique back after the birth of my daughter. I heard he was a Functional Medicine Practitioner and could help me figure out the root of the problem. After muscle testing some foods, Dr. Gin figured out this healthy greens shake was actually keeping the weight on and inhibiting my thyroid! I had been working out 8 – 9 times a week and following a Paleo style diet with no success and feeling very defeated.
Dr. Gin also discovered I had a «Why Bother «belief system about my weight and through using a Neuro Emotional Technique protocol, Dr. Gin was able to clear my self-​sabotaging tendencies!
Shortly after his treatment I lost 9 pounds and had my old energy back. I feel great and have more energy and endurance to keep up with my daughter!
I highly recommend seeing Dr. Gin, he is Amazing!

My issues weren’t nearly as bad as other reviews, but as someone that was «one of the two patients keeping me up at night» for Dr. Gin I should review my experience. Weird that after the initial «Dinner with the Doc» I hoped I was jacked up enough that he would see me, but I did, I was and he took me as a patient. I was always bloated and gassy, had issues losing weight, when I exercised I never had an endorphin high and had general sleep issues. Dr. Gin told me I had SIBO and probably leaky gut. He told me to look up the SIBO diet online when I got home then said «I understand if I never see you again. The diet is very restrictive.» He didn’t know me! I had just done a spiritual fast and only drank liquids sun up, til 6pm every night then did a vegetarian diet after 6pm. I can do ANYTHING and the SIBO diets online allowed for cheese and bacon. I wasn’t worried.
When I came back for my second visit I had printed out a list of foods I found online and Dr. Gin said «No, not those foods, you could only do these foods» and gave me another food list. Turned out that was like 8 things! It was TERRIBLE. I had just done a vegetarian diet and suddenly I had to mainly eat meat unless I wanted to starve. I was allowed to eat nuts, which I love, but found that after cutting everything out of my diet I was CRAZY sensitive to nuts and couldn’t eat them without feeling sick. I could eat olives on the diet, which I was eating everyday, then Dr. Gin told me my body didn’t like olives. COME ON!!! By week 3 I was crying because I was taking the supplements that my body seemed to hate, I couldn’t eat anything unless it was a hunk of meat or bok choy and on top of it I wasn’t feeling better!!! A girl doesn’t mind living in temporary hell if it’s working.
When I told Dr. Gin he HAD to put more foods in my diet he worked with me on finding some that could allow me to heal but not go emotionally crazy. Never has a person been so happy to avocado and lentils back in their diet! I’m a simple girl. I really appreciated that Dr. Gin’s approach is always «we have to find what works for you.»
Due to the fact that I still was burping constantly (including first thing in the morning when my stomach should’ve been empty) I ended up referring to Dr. «Google» and discovered I had all the symptoms of low stomach acid and needed to take acid when I ate so I could digest the food and supplements that didn’t seem to help. Hey, guess who already had a bottle of exactly what I needed from Dr. Gin? Me! I just needed to take about 7 pills, not the 2 I had been taking. I felt so much better and was able to eat again and take the supplements without burping all the time. When I reported back to Dr. Gin I was very impressed that he actually apologized he didn’t catch the low stomach acid himself.
Now, if I feel poorly I know exactly what I did to cause it and can course correct. Very grateful Dr. Gin has led me down the path of healing!

Dr. Ray Gin is a true Healer. Much much more than just a chiropractor. You will be very happy with your decision to see him. I required hip replacement surgery a few years ago and hadn’t been able walk well let alone run! He has me back to playing softball 3 games a day! Working out as much as I desire… And I am picking up sports again that I thought would be impossible & left to my youth… There is more than just a physical factor to our aches pains & injuries… Be prepared to go into more things than just physical! He has healed me in more ways than just one… You will be absolutely amazed as to what you will be able to do once you see him! For I am not only walking right again I am running & competing in sports again as I did in my 20s & 30s. Thanx to Dr. Gin:)

I’ve been thinking about what I want to write in this review, a lot. I wanted to write a review that would be epic. That would do this amazing man justice, and somehow put all of his genius into words.
But, at this time of writing, Dr Gin has almost 50 glowing five star reviews. That’s what got me in the door in the first place, and let me tell you this, they’re no bullshit. This man is the real deal. I probably don’t need to put so much pressure on myself to write the perfect review… so I’ll just tell my story.
A year ago almost to the day, after six months of not knowing what was going on with my body, I had a colonoscopy and was diagnosed with moderate Ulcerative Colitis.
My Gastroenterologist, who has been a doctor for 50 years, could not even give me a hypothesis as to why this was happening to an otherwise healthy 31 year old. «We don’t really know.» was his answer.
As a software engineer by trade, with a naturally curious and analytical mind, that was completely unacceptable to me. How can you be working in a specialty for that long and not even have an idea what causes the issues you’re treating?
But, I already knew this. I had done my research. I knew that western medicine doesn’t have any good answers for IBD. I knew people were having success treating IBD with natural approaches. I also knew that it was not easy. In fact, it was quite hard, and the results varied greatly. I knew it would not be wise to try and do this alone.
I was pretty sick at the time. It felt quite urgent. So, the day after my colonoscopy, I called Dr. Gin’s office. Through some divine intervention, there was a cancellation that day, and by the afternoon I was sitting in his office.
From the moment I walked into Dr Gin’s office, I knew I had finally met a doctor who spoke my language.
I’m a curious person. I don’t expect to hand over 100% of the responsibility for my own health to someone else. I want to understand what’s happening to my body, and how we’re going to fix it together.
Dr Gin picked up on this right away and we spent the majority of my initial consolation talking in depth about what’s happening, why it’s happening, and what we were going to do about it. It was a fascinating conversation, and afterwards I knew I would be in good hands working with him, so I made the commitment.
With in just a few weeks, I started feeling drastically better.
Within a few months of working together I went from being quite sick, bleeding in places you don’t want to be bleeding, underweight, super low on energy, to nearly symptom free, full of energy and feeling the best I had in a long time.
Was it magic? Is Dr. Gin a miracle worker? You could say that. For the practical minds out there, I would say it was a combination of Dr Gin’s unique knowledge, skill, compassion and raw talent, and a lot of hard work and discipline in sticking to the program and doing my part at home between our visits.
After a year of working together, I can say without a doubt that despite being diagnosed with a chronic disease that’s not supposed to go away, not only does that seem to be gone, but I am the healthiest and happiest and most vibrant I’ve ever been in my life.
And on top of that, I feel like I’ve gotten an education that will stay with me and keep me and my family healthy for the rest of our lives.
So if you got this far, I’ll echo the advice of some of the other reviewers… call Dr. Gin’s office and RSVP for his next workshop. It’s free and you’ll get to meet him and see how his practice works. Then, you can decide if its right for you. I can’t think of any reason in the universe why you wouldn’t want to do at least this.
For those with IBD who are looking for a more personal recommendation, feel free to message me, it would be my pleasure to give more info about my healing journey.

I started seeing Dr. Gin 5 months ago about chronic stomach problems. I had seen several doctors and went through a lot of tests for doctors to tell me there wasn’t much I could do. Dr. Gin put me on a special diet and supplements and immediately a lot of my problems cleared up including my heartburn and digestive complaints. 5 months later, I am feeling a lot better and reintroducing foods to my diet. Seeing Dr. Gin has been like seeing a doctor, dietitian, and therapist all in one. I highly recommend him, especially if you are having stomach problems. This has been such a helpful and life changing experience.

It’s been a while since I’d seen Dr. Gin, but I was starting to feel sluggish again. It didn’t come suddenly but it just seemed like it was getting progressively worse. I was starting to feel like an old man. Since Dr. Gin helped me before I thought it was about time for me to see him again.
Last time he changed my diet and helped me get rid of some of the toxins that my body had built up over time. This time he said it seems I have leaky gut. After I got home I googled the term and many of the symptoms I had seemed to fit the description of this leaky gut thing.
Dr. Gin put me on a strict diet and gave me some things to heal my gut. I started in April and my mid-​May I noticed I was beginning to feel energetic, alert, and my focused self again.
I’m not sure how the doc figures out these things but he’s been right on every time so far. He suggested that I continue to eat cleanly and reduce my stresses so that I stay out of trouble and his office. I’ll do my best to follow his advice.

I’ve been seeing Dr. Gin for almost two years now. He’s helped me with a variety of issues: my diet and digestive issues as well as stress, anxiety, and emotional issues. I’m the type of person who will never be «fixed» but know for certain that Dr. Gin helps me feel better. I’ve learned so much about myself in the short time that I’ve gone to him, and I love all his techniques. He makes it so easy to talk to and I feel like he really does care about helping me. I would love to see him forever ever, but I’m sadly leaving him and moving to Austin, Tx. Highly recommend him and will miss him and the front gal, Katherine, very dearly! I’m so happy I found him when I did. I don’t know what I would’ve done without Dr. Gin. Thank you for everything!!!

My first appointment with Dr. Gin was the best first impression I encountered. How was I feeling? lethargic, no energy, chronic cough (4 years), weight loss, hair breakage and loss of sense of smell and taste. After seeing several specialists for over four years my body had reached its limit. I could barely get out of bed to take care of me. Thank God, I was nudged by a friend, who also had health challenges, to make an appointment to see Dr. Gin. Her words to me, «I am at 90% healthy». Those words were music to my ears considering I could barely hold the phone during our conversation.
So, after my first appointment with Dr. Gin, I returned to discuss my lab results and compare them with previous results from my HMO doctors and specialist, who could not determine what, was wrong with me after 4 years. He diagnosed my illness as Hashimoto autoimmune disease thyroiditis, leaky guts and several other organ challenges. Dr. Gin was explicit with analogies and visuals as he discussed my health challenges and a plan for next steps. His recommendations, after three weeks which included a diet change (lifestyle change), vitamins and supplements added to my daily diet, I felt a difference within three weeks. I was able to enjoy the Christmas holidays with my family.
In summary, my energy has returned and I can see the physical changes taking place in my appearance. Dr. Gin uses his knowledge, medical expertise of eastern homeopathy interventions as he listens to his patients concerns and then he develops a plan of action and monitored my progress weekly. I feel wonderful and I’m just waiting for my sense of smell and taste to return, my hair breakage to stop and begin gaining weight. And under the medical guidance of the Dr. Gin, I am confident I will be 100% soon. I have made remarkable progress in two months and I expect complete healing before summer. Thank you Dr. Gin for listening, caring, your knowledge and expertise to assess my symptoms and not only dispense a prescription is truly appreciated!

I went to see Dr. Gin about a year ago — I was stuck finding the right answer from five different docs (PCP, ENT, Ophthalmologist, Endocrinologist, etc) for years. I was having a low blood sugar problem, always tired, can’t focus & very unmotivated. But based on my Lab result from those doctors, I was perfectly healthy. I didn’t go to Dr. Gin’s seminar because I was so desperate. And Dr. G put me on repairvite diet. I was skeptic & scary at first because I am not sure if eating Veggies going to help with my low blood sugar. I’ve been told all these years that I need to eat carbs (grains, roots veggies, etc) to lift up my blood sugar. But now I use repairvite diet as a guideline for my diet. I have lots of energy & I feel healthy.
Anyway, I felt better after my 2^nd visit. Then I attend Dr. Gin’s seminar to get more depth information on what he does. I was confirmed that he is an awesome doctor and he was the answer of my prayer. Dr. Gin is a very patient doctor and always listens to your problems (unlike other MD Doctor who always rushes you out of the room).
Stress is the cause of my low blood sugar, brain fog & fatigue. Dr. Gin always helping me to identify what makes me stressed out because most of the time I wasn’t aware, and he is very patience on finding the cause of it. Working with emotional issues/​stress issues is not overnight. We need to peel/​find out layer by layer. Now Dr. Gin is my go to Doctor & I trust him a lot. Other doctors (endocrinologists, MDs) always want money, but no solutions.
Katherine, Dr. Gin assistance is very nice & sweet too, she compliment Dr. Gin well.
Kat knows all about Yoga, Meditations, and how to wind down when you got stressed out. I always enjoy talking to her.
I love coming to this office because I can see results every time I see Dr. Gin.
This doctor deserve 10 stars instead of 5 :)

After receiving mixed diagnoses from traditional doctors with no preventative steps I could take for my health, I sought out a holistic approach and was extremely fortunate to find Dr. Gin. Not only are the original health concerns that I wanted to address significantly improved, it was amazing that other aches and pains that I thought were just part of getting older, are all gone!

Dr. Ray Gin did an excellent job in figuring out my wife is Gluten intolerant and had an auto-​immune issue called Hashimoto’s disease. As a result, the whole family is eating healthier than before. We highly recommend Dr. Gin to anyone looking for a natural alternative to whatever issue they may have.

Dr Gin has changed my life, I thought there was no hope for me to feel better since regular doctors said I was fine. In the past year and a half, that I’ve been seeing Dr Gin, I’ve started to play with my kids again, something I was really missing out on. I’ve learned to listen to my body too, I can usually tell what’s going on based on how I’m feeling. Dr Gin has a real commitment to helping people be healthy and feel good. Everything he’s done from day 1 was to help me, all the way down to lessening the amount of supplements so it wasn’t a financial burden. He is an amazing man and very caring person.

Dr. Gin is amazing! He treated me while I was out of town after my back suddenly went out. Being a chiropractor myself, I was fairly certain I knew what was going on and was afraid of the potentially long recovery time. However, Dr. Gin discovered a completely unexpected cause for my problem, and after a quick adjustment to my foot (rather than my back) my back pain was instantly about 90% better. WOW. I later brought my boyfriend to Dr. Gin for a chronic knee problem, and after seeing Dr. Gin, he (the boyfriend) was able to literally skip down the hill doing the Leprechaun dance (whereas before it was painful to do a quick walk). If you have a challenging case that is not responding to the usual methods, then definitely give Dr. Gin a call. He is the master of the tough case!

I have been seeing Dr. Gin for about 2 months now and am VERY happy with the results thus far. I was diagnosed with an autoimmune disorder 4 ½ years ago and have been struggling with it ever since. In fact, when I look back on it, I had symptoms long before I was ever diagnosed, which I attributed to a variety of things, including stress, injuries, and strenuous exercise. In addition, I have been tested every year for as long as I can remember for thyroid and blood sugar issues because my complaints to my GP so clearly suggested problems in these areas. Each time, however, the tests said I was «normal» and my doctors did nothing about it.
Dr. Gin has been able to improve the symptoms associated with my autoimmune disorder as well as the thyroid and blood sugar problems I «didn’t have.» Dr. Gin also explained to me why my doctors didn’t diagnose these problems in the first place («normal» is based on the average of all blood tests taken at a certain lab; if sick people are having blood analyzed at a far more frequent rate than healthy people, the idea of «normal» is greatly skewed and, therefore, many people who do necessitate treatment fall into the «normal» category incorrectly). Since working on these issues, I have noticed significant improvement in my energy, concentration, mood, inflammation, and joint/​muscle pain.
After years of doctor’s appointments and TONS of lab work (MRIs, CT scans, blood tests, etc.), I FINALLY feel like someone is actually listening to what I’m saying and is wholeheartedly treating my symptoms as a whole, rather than trying to mask them with additional medications or insinuating that I’m making it up or crazy. There is nothing worse than feeling terribly and being so scared that you’ll never get better and then having an authority figure (your doctor) tell you that NOTHING is wrong with you! Dr. Gin’s caring nature and attentiveness to your personal concerns is the exact opposite of the doctors I’ve interacted with in the past. Moreover, Katherine, who runs the front desk and administrative tasks (and probably much more than I’m not aware of), is fantastic! She’s equally kind and has a very friendly and engaging demeanor.
I highly recommend that anyone and everyone attend his workshop to get more information about his practice. They are usually held on the first Tuesday of the month in the early evening and he covers everything from the idea of general health, to the importance of nutrition, to the value of understanding and appreciating the role of emotional health in terms of our physical well being. His workshops are totally free and he provides a light vegan meal. What do you have to lose?!
