Research and teaching

Dr. Yoon is the first author of research published in PLOS ONE on obesity, abdominal obesity, and hypertension control in Korea, and lectures to practising physicians on obesity treatment, including at the Korean Academy of Obesity Treatment spring congress.

She has served as a medical advisor to Korean broadcast health programmes on TV Chosun, MBN, KBS, and SBS.

How she practises

Consultations are held in English with the doctor directly, with no interpreter relay. Prescriptions follow an in-person examination, doses are escalated only when the previous step is tolerated, and follow-ups continue remotely after patients leave Korea.

Weight is not read on its own. InBody body composition is taken at the first visit so that muscle loss is visible if it happens, and bloodwork is offered where it is clinically indicated rather than as a package everyone buys.

Dose escalation stops when side effects do not settle. A patient who is still nauseated at the end of four weeks stays on the same dose for another four rather than moving up on schedule.

What she does not do

Medication is not dispensed without an examination, and it is not posted to patients who have never been seen. Korean law requires an in-person consultation for a first prescription, and the clinic follows that.

Doses are not started at a high step to produce faster results. There is no foreign-patient price and no agency commission: the price list is the same one used for Korean patients.
