I loved this course. It was informative and a good foundation to improve my diet and take better care of my health. I have come to realize the importance of plant-based cooking and eating which I now want to prioritize in my life. Incorporating both Western and Eastern/Oriental thinking made learning about food and cooking so much deeper and enlightening.

HANA, FOUNDER / DIRECTOR of MSV
In early 2019, I faced serious health issues, but by adopting a macrobiotic vegan diet, I was able to completely resolve them. Thanks to Buddhism and the macrobiotic vegan diet, my life has turned a new page filled with love, gratitude, and happiness. With the aim of sharing this happiness with the community, I established Macrobiotics School Vietnam to promote the macrobiotic lifestyle. I am committed to advancing and developing macrobiotic education, sharing its benefits with the community, and working toward the realization of both individual health and the health of the planet.

YOULE, FOUNDER / DIRECTOR of MSC(叁一居)
I am Youle, the founder of Macrobiotic School China. My mom is a vegetarian for many years, due to the fate in 2013, I accompanied my mom to eat plant-based drinks for two months at home, because it made my body clean and light, and I couldn’t eat meat outside any more, so I naturally chose to live a plant-based life from then on. After so many years of living with plant-based diet, my body and inner being have changed a lot, and my mind and body have become sharper and calmer than before.

JS OH, FOUNDER / DIRECTOR of MSK
My family had a more Westernized diet compared to the average household. As I aged, I developed chronic conditions such as fatty liver disease and chronic fatigue syndrome, and tried medical treatments, but they were ineffective. Upon discovering Macrobiotics, I realized that my issues stemmed from years of poor dietary habits. By focusing on the balance of yin yang, eating locally sourced foods, and consuming whole grains, my health improved significantly. In 2025, I established Macrobiotics School Korea with the goal of spreading awareness about macrobiotics to a wider audience.
