A childhood dream of helping others

As a child, I vaguely wanted to be someone who helps others. I believed that by sharing my help and experiences, the world might become a little warmer and more beautiful.

While dreaming of studying social welfare in school, I happened to discover the great appeal of Korean medicine, which values deep communication with people and pursues holistic treatment that encompasses the body and mind of each individual patient.

The warm medical philosophy that focuses on the person themselves is what I believe led me to the path of a Korean medicine doctor.

Diagnosed with diabetes, fatty liver, and gout Starting a diet for health

After marriage, my weight increased rapidly by over 20kg. While it was a sign of happiness, when I reached 90kg, I faced a serious health warning after being diagnosed with diabetes, fatty liver, and gout.

Thinking only of my beloved family, I constantly researched and practiced dieting. After losing 20kg in 6 months and confirming that all my blood test results had returned to normal, I realized that the answer to dieting was not just fasting and exercise.

By completely changing my perspective on dieting, I was able to go beyond weight loss and restore my health and quality of life. Currently, I maintain my weight through balanced meals and sustainable diet methods.

Precious encounters at Daeat

Everyone who comes to Daeat is special. Among them, I remember a high school student who was struggling with a weight of over 100kg. They were suffering from an eating disorder, repeating cycles of fasting and binge eating, and were even taking neuropsychiatric medication. They blamed their genetic constitution, but the root cause of the weight gain was a hormonal metabolic issue.

I taught them about healthy dieting, and after 9 months of systematic management, they were able to reach their target weight. They overcame their eating disorder and were able to stop taking their medication. I still vividly remember their bright smile and newfound confidence.

When I join patients on their journey to restore health and change their lives, I realize once again why I do this work as a diet-specialized Korean medicine doctor.

We need the right perspective on dieting

Obesity does not just mean weight gain. It should be understood as an indicator of hidden health issues such as hormonal imbalances, metabolic abnormalities, and underlying diseases.

Therefore, it is important to improve metabolism so that the body can utilize energy better while eating well and living healthier.

Based on this perspective, Daeat will create a diet that goes beyond simple weight loss to restore the balance of body and mind, accompanying our patients on their journey to regain health.
