Your energy, digestion, and mood aren’t random. Rooted in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) and validated by modern science, your Body Constitution explains why one diet fuels you while another drains you.
Decode your body’s blueprint and start living in alignment with how you’re built. It begins with our Body Constitution Quiz.
The Missing Variable in Modern Nutrition
Hi, I’m Chef Dr. Junnie Lai. I’m so glad you’re here.
As a culinary innovator and PhD. in Natural Medicine, I help people reconnect with food as medicine, blending the art of cooking with the wisdom of Traditional Chinese Medicine.
Have you ever wondered why a diet that works for your friend leaves you feeling exhausted?
It’s not you.
Most wellness plans assume every body works the same way. But research — and centuries of TCM — tell a different story.
Your body follows an internal pattern that shapes how you digest food, generate energy, and respond to stress. It's called your Body Constitution.
When you understand your constitution, you can stop forcing your body to fit a plan and start choosing what truly supports you.
I created Life Personalized to help you rediscover what your body already knows and guide you to nourish yourself through food as medicine and a constitution-aligned lifestyle, with clarity, purpose, and joy.
By understanding your Body Constitution, you begin to bridge Western nutrition with Eastern medicine, opening a smarter, more personalized path to balance.

“I’ve been following Junnie’s body constitution approach for a few months now, and I honestly feel so much better compared to how I was feeling before. I was dealing with several symptoms, and the small adjustments Junnie recommends have led to really big changes for me. I love that the ingredients are just normal, everyday foods. It’s been easy to stick with, and the results have made a real difference in how I feel day to day."

"I went to Junnie Lai for help managing my perimenopause symptoms, including hot flashes, weight management, and sleep issues. She thoughtfully personalized a booklet based on my body constitution, which I followed to help manage my symptoms. I especially appreciated her small, easy-to-implement food and herbal tea suggestions to improve sleep. Her recommendations didn’t require drastic changes and were easy to incorporate into my daily routine."
