# Dr. Im Seong-yoon’s Project for Living Well and Staying Healthy

Why am I taking diabetes medication when I don’t have diabetes?!

Hello, I’m Dr. Im Seong-yoon from Just Plastic Surgery Clinic. Today, I’d like to share a somewhat unusual story about why a plastic surgeon takes diabetes and cholesterol medication.

1. Metformin 250 mg, taken in the evening every day

First, the medication I take is Metformin 250 mg.

I have never been diagnosed with diabetes, but I take it to slow aging and maintain vascular health.

💊 Mechanism of Metformin Metformin works by inhibiting glucose production (gluconeogenesis) in the liver and increasing insulin sensitivity in peripheral tissues to lower blood sugar.

Even when blood sugar is not high, this medication is expected to have anti-aging effects such as suppressing cellular aging and inflammation and regulating mitochondrial metabolism,

and some studies have reported results suggesting that it may also lower the risk of cancer and cardiovascular disease.

The shape and color may vary depending on the manufacturer.

✓ Metformin 250 mg (taken in the evening)

✓ Even without diabetes, a strategic choice for anti-aging and vascular health!

✓ Improved insulin sensitivity + delayed cellular aging = longer and healthier living.

2. Atozet? Tighter cholesterol management!

The second part of the health project is cholesterol management.

Recently, based on a recommendation from a close friend who works as an internal medicine professor in the United States, I read the book 『Outlive』,

and after feeling that I needed more thorough management, I started taking Atozet.

💊 Mechanism of Atozet Atozet is a combination drug with two ingredients:

Atorvastatin: suppresses cholesterol synthesis in the liver and reduces LDL (bad cholesterol).

Ezetimibe: inhibits cholesterol absorption in the small intestine.

When these two work together, they effectively lower blood cholesterol and greatly help protect vascular health. Rather than feeling reassured because cholesterol levels are normal, there are many studies showing that keeping them even lower than normal is important for preventing cardiovascular disease and aging in the long term.

✓ Atozet: a combination of atorvastatin + ezetimibe

✓ With cholesterol, the key is to keep it “lower” rather than just “normal”!

✓ A smart combination that blocks cholesterol made in the liver and absorbed in the intestines at the same time.

3. I recommend the book 『Outlive』

『Outlive』 is

a book written by Dr. Peter Attia, a Harvard Medical School graduate, and it explains not simply how to treat disease,

but “how to prevent disease before it occurs and extend healthy lifespan.”

From diet, sleep, stress management, and exercise to the use of medication... I strongly recommend it to anyone who wants to manage aging and design a long life.

🎯 Healthy habits are the best anti-aging

Aging cannot be avoided, but it can be delayed.

If you eat well, sleep well, and take good care of yourself, you can protect your healthy body and mind, as well as a youthful appearance.

In that sense, I am still combining internal medical health management with anti-aging procedures

and doing my best to improve my quality of life.

And...
