🌍✈️ Yasmin Ueda: The Scientist with a Soul & Adventure as a Healing Tool — or Don’t Call Me a Scientist✨🧬

They said life was intended to be lived at the end of routine, in corners in between. Then I rewrote my DNA. I'm Yasmin Ueda, by day I'm a Personalized Medicine Specialist, by night I'm a boundary-busting travel alchemist, and you? You are about to rewrite the health narrative into your own epic adventure. This is not a bio. This is a love letter to the scrappy, wild, barely contained* you. 🏔️🔥

The Break (aka Breaking Point/Melt Down)

I was 28 years old, up to my eyeballs in lab coats and data, prescribed personalized treatment for everyone other than myself. My body begged me to leave. Burnout was my constant shadow and chronic fatigue was extended family. Then came Kyoto, 2023. After one solo hike through shrines draped in moss, and one cringe-worthy spontaneous leap swimming in an ice cold mountain river, my whole mindset went, snap—the illusion of "balance" was destroyed. Science had taught me about optimizing cells; my conscious experience was learning to listen to the chaos of glaciers, the salt-spray of tropical storms, and the raw energy of simply listening to my body. This was my "Aha moment"—that health is not a spreadsheet, but a story told at the end of every step of your journey.

The Resistance: Medicine is not just in a lab

Now, I mix genomic insights and radical self-trust (yes, both). My goal is to help you realize that healing isn't sterile. That you can have all the right pieces to your “perfect” diet, but it may all fail when you're in the Moroccan desert (true story 🐪), or that your best medicine one day may be getting up at 5 a.m. to watch the sunrise over Angkor Wat. I personally have hacked my cortisol levels living with wild animals in the jungle, cured my insulin resistance biking 250 kilometres on Italian pasta, and figured out that joy is the best drug—the deep, layered, messy, pulse-raising joy.

Throw Away the Rulebook—Let’s Get Lost 🌌

P.S. I stole a kiss from a stranger in Patagonia (and it lowered my inflammation markers)—for real. Coincidence? Come experiment with me. 😉
