Built to heal. Built to perform.
The body is built to heal itself, when it is given what it actually needs.
Dr. Valerie Chin has spent over three decades in the healthcare field, and every step of that path has led to the same belief: the body is built to heal itself, when it is given what it actually needs.
She began her career in 1990 as a Licensed Massage Therapist specializing in deep tissue and sports massage. In 1993, she earned her Bachelor of Science in Kinesiology from Louisiana State University, and went on to complete her Doctorate of Chiropractic at Texas Chiropractic College in 1998.
After building her clinical practice in Houston, Dr. Chin relocated to California in 2001, where she continued treating patients while teaching at local massage schools, eventually stepping into the role of program director. In 2006, she opened her own private practice in the Carmichael, CA area.
In 2013, Dr. Chin returned to Houston to pursue a different kind of impact: teaching high school Health Sciences to the next generation of healthcare workers. That chapter deepened something she already knew from clinical practice, that real healing starts with real understanding, not guesswork.
In 2026, Dr. Chin returned to clinical practice, this time through Functional Medicine, to help people find and address what may be driving their symptoms instead of managing them indefinitely.
A broader look at the body.
Dr. Chin's practice is built for people who are done managing their symptoms and ready to understand what may be contributing to what they are experiencing.
Gut Clear is the flagship program: an intensive path for women dealing with gut-related symptoms, including bloating, fatigue, brain fog, and unpredictability. Using the 8X Gut Clear Formula, Dr. Chin investigates eight interconnected areas to build a plan around the individual rather than a single symptom.
The path forward is designed to meet you wherever you are:
Gut Clear (Intensive) - the starting phase, where we investigate what is happening and put the plan in motion.
Gut Command (Renewal) - building on momentum, going deeper, and continuing to develop the strategies that support your goals.
Gut Lock (Maintenance) - protecting what you have built, with continued strategy, support, tracking, and clinical tools.
Every path starts the same way: with the Gut SOS Call, a no-charge consultation to discuss what you are experiencing and what may make sense to explore next.
No generic protocols. No guessing.
Dr. Chin combines her background in hands-on care, kinesiology, chiropractic, teaching, and functional medicine to educate patients about their bodies and help them make informed decisions about the next step.
Find it. Fix it. Feel like yourself again.
