This is the inspiring story of Lin Peiyun, a 30-year-old administrative assistant who transformed her health and life through Aimin's acupuncture weight loss program — as featured in Shin Min Daily.
At 160 cm tall and weighing over 60 kg, Lin Peiyun was already facing weight challenges. But after having a child, her weight climbed dramatically to approximately 82 kg, with her waist measuring 38 inches and her hips 42.5 inches.
It wasn't merely a matter of appearance. Lin's movements grew sluggish, and her overall health deteriorated significantly. She struggled with difficulty sleeping, frequent migraines, and medical reports revealed concerning high blood sugar and cholesterol levels.
Initially, Lin didn't pay much attention to her shape after having a child. But as her health deteriorated, she began to seriously focus on her wellness and weight problems. She made the decision to try acupuncture for weight loss.
Lin began her treatment journey in July 2002 at Aimin Acupuncture Weight Loss Clinic. Through dedication and the guidance of our experienced TCM practitioners, her weight was reduced by an impressive 24.1 kg after just 28 therapy sessions. Her waist and hip measurements decreased to 29 and 36.5 inches respectively.
I can no longer wear my old clothes because they are too big. I had to completely redo my wardrobe. My sleep quality has improved dramatically, and my blood sugar and cholesterol levels have returned to normal.
— Lin Peiyun, after 28 sessions at Aimin
Lin reported that her weight dropped rapidly after just a few rounds of therapy. By the 19th session, her weight had already been reduced to 67.3 kg. At the end of February, following her 28th therapy session, her weight reached 58.7 kg. The full course comprises 30 sessions, and she was still undergoing treatment at the time of this feature.
How Acupuncture Supports Weight Loss
Aimin Acupuncture Weight Loss Center helps suppress excessive appetite through acupuncture while providing personalized dietary guidance. The treatment works by stimulating specific points to regulate hunger hormones such as ghrelin and leptin, which influence appetite and satiety naturally.
Adapting to a new diet wasn't easy at first. However, Lin gradually became accustomed to eating more healthily, and eventually found it strange to even consider reverting to her old eating habits. She now prefers lighter, simpler meals, and her cravings for starch have significantly decreased.
Lin's journey demonstrates the power of combining traditional Chinese medicine wisdom with modern understanding of metabolic health — a philosophy that continues to guide Aimin's approach to holistic wellness today.
