Advanced Healing Center of Orange
Since graduating from Southern California University of Health Sciences (formerly Los Angeles College of Chiropractic) in 1989 with a Doctorate in Chiropractic and a Bachelor of Science in Human Biology, my life’s work has been devoted to advancing health through holistic care. My journey in the field began in 1985 with relentless research into evolutionary biology, quantum biology, human biochemistry, functional medicine, diagnostic testing, biofilms, public health, and various healing techniques. Over the years, I have lectured, consulted, and treated patients worldwide, from Ghana, Africa, to Alice Springs, Australia.
With over 35 years of practice, I have witnessed profound health transformations in patients facing conditions that allopathic medicine often struggles to address. I have worked with people managing allergies, autoimmune conditions, cancer, diabetes, and various metabolic and neurological challenges. Each success underscores the potential of an integrative, whole-person approach to health.

My Personal Chiropractic Story
For nearly 36 years, I have passionately served the Orange, California, community through chiropractic care. My journey with chiropractic began at age nine when I experienced my first migraine—a severe, unrelenting pain that no specialist could alleviate. My father, who was familiar with chiropractor Dr. Godoy Glad, took me to him. After just one adjustment, I felt relief like never before. Dr. Glad identified spinal misalignments as the cause, and from that moment, I understood the profound potential of chiropractic care. This experience ignited my lifelong commitment to the field.
Years later, I graduated from the Los Angeles College of Chiropractic as one of its youngest graduates, motivated to help others experience the same transformative relief. Chiropractic care, as I practice it, isn’t merely a remedy for pain; it’s a foundational element of wellness. It supports the nervous system, strengthens resilience, and restores balance, just as essential to health as nutrition, exercise, and sleep.
My goal is to help everyone experience the empowering potential of chiropractic care—a life aligned with natural health. I invite you to explore the many benefits this transformative practice can bring to your well-being.

Chief Science Officer (CSO)
California Academy of Health Inc. and Contributing Writer for the California Academy of Health Journal
As the Chief Science Officer at California Academy of Health, one of America’s leading producers of Therapy Juices™ and liquid vitamins, I bring over 35 years of expertise in nutraceutical trends, specialty formulations, and holistic health. In this role, I offer technical insights and strategic guidance on emerging health trends and author content for the company’s website and blog.
My dedication to CAOH’s mission extends beyond typical responsibilities. In the summer of 2006, I spent over eight weeks conducting in-depth research across remote locations, including northwest China, the Amazon, and Hawaii. This journey allowed me to study the pharmacology and clinical applications of various “super fruits” like sea buckthorn (Hippophae L.), goji (Lycium barbarum), acai (Euterpe oleracea), camu camu (Myrciaria dubia), and noni (Morinda citrifolia). These findings contributed to the launch of several high-quality CAOH products, including Organic Absolute Acai Powder, Organic Sea Buckthorn Oil (whole berry), and Absolute Goji Powder.

Co-Owner & V.P., Health Services Division
CE & Associates Executive Search
With over 35 years of experience in medicine, health science, nutrition, and marketing, I have served as a trusted consultant to physicians across various medical specialties and collaborated with several prominent Inc. 500 companies in the health services sector.
At CE & Associates, I helped numerous solo practitioners establish successful practices, revitalized underperforming clinics through tailored coaching, and recruited top-tier health professionals—including Ph.D.s, M.P.H.s, M.D.s, and R.N.s—for positions in esteemed research institutes, universities, and hospitals. Additionally, I co-founded and developed three successful healthcare businesses, one of which was later acquired by an Inc. 500 company.
As the CE & Associates Web Journal expressed, “My business philosophy is rooted in integrity, ethics, and responsibility. Every business interaction reflects not only the reputation of our company but also my commitment to trust and excellence. We respect our clients and greatly value their confidence in us.”
Dr. Ettinger (2004 – 2007)
Executive Director & Owner
Advanced Laser Clinics of Temecula
In 2004, I pursued a longtime passion for aesthetic and laser dermatology by founding Advanced Laser Clinics of Temecula. After refinancing our home and selling my practice, I invested nearly half a million to establish the first stand-alone aesthetic laser clinic in Temecula, CA. We opened our doors in October 2004, offering cutting-edge services to the community.
To build my expertise, I returned to school, completing six months of rigorous training with two renowned dermatologists: Dr. Mitchel Goldman at SpaMD in La Jolla and Dr. Dore Gilbert at Newport Dermatology. I also attended a private, VIP Allergan-sponsored advanced Botox training course in Beverly Hills. The Western U.S. Director for Lumenis Ltd., the world’s leading aesthetic laser manufacturer, mentored me.
Under my leadership, Advanced Laser Clinics of Temecula grew rapidly, amassing a client base of over a thousand. In late 2007, this success culminated in an acquisition offer from American Laser Centers, Inc., the nation’s leading aesthetic corporation—an opportunity I couldn’t refuse. This venture not only broadened my skills as a doctor but also deepened my expertise in aesthetic dermatology.
Hobbies: I am passionate about research, off-roading, surfing big waves (when the ocean cooperates!), traveling, and enjoying fine food and wine. Above all, I cherish quality time with my family.
