Today we’d like to introduce you to Winston Lee.

This patient came to us with a deep, painful foot wart that had resisted multiple
treatments for years. Through consistent Acupuncture and Moxibustion, we focused on
strengthening the body’s immune response. The transformation over 5 weeks has been
remarkable—the pain has subsided, and healthy skin is regenerating. The patient is
now happily back to walking and exercising without discomfort.
Never give up! Effective, natural healing is possible even for stubborn cases.

Today we’d like to introduce you to Winston Lee.

Hi Winston, thanks for sharing your story with us. To start, maybe you can tell our readers some of your backstory.
My Story: From a Bus Tour in Europe to Fullerton, CA

My journey to becoming a “Doctor of Acupuncture” in California began with a spark of curiosity in 2001. While I was a medical student in Korea, I took a 30-day international bus tour across Europe. Traveling with students from the UK, Brazil, and the US, I realized that I wanted to communicate and practice medicine beyond the borders of South Korea. That experience motivated me to study English daily alongside my medical studies, preparing for a future on a larger stage.

After earning my Ph.D. in Korean Medicine and running a successful clinic in South Korea, I moved to California in 2012 to serve as the Medical Director for the Jaseng Center for Integrative Medicine. For ten years, I managed clinics in Los Angeles, San Jose (Silicon Valley), and Fullerton, gaining deep experience in the U.S. healthcare system.

In May 2022, I opened my private practice, Doctor Acupuncture in Korean Medicine, in Fullerton. My goal was to create a space where I could apply my 20+ years of clinical experience to treat spine and joint pain non-surgically, blending the best of Eastern and Western perspectives.

The Challenges: Adapting to a New System
Moving to the U.S. was a significant challenge. I had to adapt to a completely different medical environment, including understanding complex insurance systems like PPO and HMO, which are very different from Korea’s system.

Furthermore, helping patients understand that “fixing habits is more important than taking medicine” is an ongoing challenge I embrace. Many patients come looking for a quick fix for chronic pain. My role is to educate them that without correcting daily habits—like posture, diet, and sleep—pain often returns.

About the Business: Doctor Acupuncture & Whole-Body Wellness
I specialize in the non-surgical treatment of spine and joint disorders, such as herniated discs, spinal stenosis, and arthritis.

What sets my practice apart is my focus on identifying the root cause. I don’t just treat the pain; I look at the patient’s lifestyle. For example, I’ve helped patients cure “sciatica” simply by having them remove a thick wallet from their back pocket, and helped others relieve neck pain by adjusting their computer monitor height.

Key highlights of my work include:
Integrative Treatment: I utilize acupuncture, herbal medicine, and nutrients to reduce inflammation and strengthen bones and ligaments, helping patients avoid surgery whenever possible.

Author & Educator: I recently published a book titled Discovering Path to Pain Free Life: Guide to Whole-Body Wellness (Nov 2025), which compiles over 100 health columns I’ve written to help the public understand and prevent pain. I also serve as a clinical lecturer at Dongguk University Los Angeles.

Community Service: I have been a volunteer acupuncturist at the Lestonnac Free Clinic since 2013, helping underserved communities manage pain.

My ultimate goal is to help my patients live a pain-free life by combining professional medical treatment with smart lifestyle changes.

Can you talk to us a bit about the challenges and lessons you’ve learned along the way. Looking back would you say it’s been easy or smooth in retrospect?
Clinically, one of the most persistent struggles has been shifting the patient mindset from seeking “quick fixes” to addressing root causes. As I discuss in my book, Discovering Path to Pain Free Life, many patients prefer taking medication or undergoing surgery over the more complex work of changing their daily habits. I frequently encounter patients who suffer from chronic conditions like disc issues, yet continue harmful activities, such as playing excessive golf or maintaining poor posture, despite medical advice. Convincing patients that correcting lifestyle factors—such as diet, sleep, and posture—is often more effective and essential than medicine remains a challenging but vital part of my mission to help them live pain-free lives.

Alright, so let’s switch gears a bit and talk business. What should we know?
Doctor Acupuncture in Korean Medicine, based in Fullerton, specializes in the non-surgical treatment of spinal and joint disorders, including herniated discs, spinal stenosis, and sports-related injuries such as those from golf.

What sets my practice apart is a deeply integrative approach that combines traditional acupuncture and specialized herbal medicine to treat the root cause of pain rather than merely masking symptoms with painkillers or injections. I am most proud of my commitment to patient education, recently culminating in the publication of my book, Discovering Path to Pain Free Life: Guide to Whole-Body Wellness, which embodies my core philosophy that fixing daily habits—such as posture, sleep, and diet—is often more critical for long-term recovery than medication alone. I want readers to know that my brand is dedicated to guiding patients toward a natural, pain-free life by leveraging over 20 years of clinical experience to strengthen the body’s natural healing powers and prevent recurrence.

Networking and finding a mentor can have such a positive impact on one’s life and career. Any advice?
Based on my experience as both a practitioner and a lecturer, my best advice is to seek internship opportunities through your school’s alumni network actively. Still, the groundwork for this must start long before you need the job. To make these connections happen, you must establish a stellar reputation while you are still a student.

In my experience, professors and classmates are the most effective gateways to these opportunities. If you consistently demonstrate a positive attitude, diligence, and respect toward your professors and peers, they become your strongest advocates. I personally found that opening my first clinic with seniors and friends from school was a key step in my career. This was possible because of the trust built during our student years. Therefore, networking isn’t just about meeting new people later; it’s about obtaining a good reputation in school way in advance so that when you reach out to alumni, your character has already paved the way.

Are you taking a GLP-1 medication like Wegovy®, Ozempic®, or Mounjaro®? If so, you’ve likely experienced the “not-so-fun” side of these revolutionary treatments.

While these medications are powerful tools for weight loss, they often come with a price: nausea, bloating, and digestive fatigue. In fact, clinical trials show that nausea is the number one complaint, affecting nearly half of all patients.

The good news? You don’t have to suffer through it. At our Dr. Acupuncture clinic in Fullerton, we offer holistic weight loss support to help you stay comfortable and compliant with your doctor’s treatment plan.

Why Do These Medications Make You Feel Sick?

To understand the solution, you have to understand the problem. Drugs like semaglutide (Wegovy/Ozempic) work by delaying gastric emptying. Essentially, they keep food in your stomach for hours longer than usual to make you feel full.

When this process works too well, it leads to a temporary form of “gastroparesis” (stomach paralysis). In Traditional Korean Medicine, we view this as “Stomach Qi Rebellion”—instead of moving downward, your digestive energy gets blocked and pushes upward, causing waves of nausea and heartburn.

How Acupuncture Provides Relief

We use specific protocols to regulate the Vagus Nerve and harmonize digestion. This isn’t about stopping the medication; it’s about helping your body adapt to it.

Regulates Motility: We use points that gently encourage the stomach to empty at a healthy rhythm, preventing that “brick in the stomach” feeling.

1. Calms the Vomiting Center: Research shows that stimulating specific acupoints (like P6 on the wrist) can reduce the severity of nausea signals sent to the brain.
2. Boosts Energy: Many patients feel wiped out because they are eating less. Acupuncture helps boost your Qi (energy) so you don’t feel lethargic.

If you are looking for natural relief for Wegovy nausea, our specialized protocol is a safe, drug-free option to add to your routine.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can acupuncture really help with my medication side effects? A: Yes. We see many patients seeking acupuncture for Ozempic side effects because they want to avoid taking more medication (like Zofran) for their nausea. Our treatments focus on reducing the severity of the symptoms so you can function normally.

Q: I am on Mounjaro and feel very bloated. Can this help? A: Absolutely. While nausea is common with Wegovy, we often see patients wanting to stop Mounjaro bloating and constipation. By stimulating the lower digestive tract channels, we can help relieve the gas and pressure that builds up when digestion slows down.

Q: Is this safe to do while taking the medication? A: Yes, acupuncture is a non-invasive, drug-free therapy that does not interact with your injections. It is an ideal form of semaglutide gastroparesis treatment support because it works with your body’s nervous system.

Q: How often should I come in? A: Most patients benefit from twice a week session, especially during the “titration” phase (when your doctor increases your dose). This is when side effects are usually the most severe.

In a gesture of gratitude toward those who serve the community, Dr. Winston Lee of Doctor Acupuncture in Korean Medicine has launched an initiative providing free acupuncture treatments to first responders. The announcement came during a special meeting at Fullerton City Hall attended by Mayor Fred Jung, City Manager Eric Levitt, Police Chief Jonathan Radus, and Fire Chief Adam Loeser.

The program, which coincides with Dr. Lee’s 20th anniversary in clinical practice, offers complimentary acupuncture services to full-time and reserve police officers, firefighters, military personnel, and EMTs.

“During my military service as a soldier in South Korea, I understood the sacrifices and hardships faced by those who dedicate themselves to protecting this country and communities,” Dr. Lee explained. “In celebration of my 20th year in clinical practice, I wanted to give back by supporting those who serve with the skills I have.”

Mayor Fred Jung welcomed the initiative, noting the physical demands placed on first responders. “Our police officers and firefighters often work through pain and injuries due to the nature of their jobs. We are very grateful to Dr. Lee for offering such a thoughtful and generous service to support their well-being.”

The free treatments are available by appointment only at Dr. Lee’s practice located at 2720 N. Harbor Blvd, Suite 120, in Fullerton. First responders interested in scheduling an appointment can call 714-519-3775. www.doctoracu.com
