In his new role, Dr. Woo will focus on expanding Young Living's relationships 
in the region, building science and agricultural expertise, executing exclusive 
research, improving local sourcing, and obtaining patents and grants. One of 
Dr. Woo's first projects will be to create and launch the new Young Living 
Okinawa Blue Zone line of products featuring a series of Okinawa grown 
ingredients backed by strong science-based evidence for their efficacy. Blue 
Zone regions like Okinawa are known for the health and longevity of their 
residents, according to American National Geographic Fellow and New York 
Times-bestselling author, Dan Buettner. 

"Dr. Woo is bringing unmatched experience and knowledge and will be a major 
asset to our Young Living family in the APAC region," said Dr. Buch. "Okinawa 
specifically has such a rich biological history and there are so many untapped 
opportunities there. We are excited to see where Dr. Woo's regional and 
biological expertise will take us."  

Dr. Woo is a trusted expert in natural resources especially in native herbal 
plants unique to Okinawa. He holds more than 20 patents, has published more 
than 200 original research papers, and as president and part owner of Okinawa 
Research Center, he has secured $450,000 in grant money per year for the 
center. Dr. Woo holds a Ph.D. in agriculture from the Tokyo University of 
Agriculture and Technology and a Ph.D. in medicine from Tokyo Medical 
University. He is also a professor at Chubu University in Kasugai, Japan.
