I used to believe that cooking was a waste of time and that my energy was better spent on high-value tasks—buying food from outside seemed more practical. My wife, however, devoted time and care to cooking delicious meals, thoughtfully preparing food in the hope that I would appreciate it. Ironically, while enjoying her food, I would still comment that she was wasting time in the kitchen, arguing that food was merely a basic necessity and that we shouldn’t spend too much time on it.
My perspective shifted completely when I began exploring molecular-level research using computational biology platforms Cystosolve. I came to realize that cooking good food is, in essence, a way of making medicine—food is medicine, a combinational therapy. In truth, my wife had been making medicine all along. From that moment, I developed a genuine appreciation for cooking.
As my health became my highest priority, I wanted complete control over what I consumed. During the years I lived alone due to work commitments, I experimented with cooking for myself. I started with very simple dishes to keep things manageable and, over time, introduced more complexity with intention and reasoning. Eventually, I felt the desire to cook alongside my wife, learning and sharing the experience together.
In 2026, I truly began my personal cooking journey. I started preparing my own lunch and taking it to the office—a complete departure from my previous routine, where I would always join my team for meals. It was a tough decision, but I realized that achieving my goals required strong health and sustained energy. I carefully selected every ingredient, focusing on quality and nutritional value. Within just a few months, I could feel the difference: my energy levels improved, my focus sharpened, and my overall health transformed. These changes were not only due to better food but also supported by regular exercise and a disciplined sleep routine.
