Why join Eucalyptus?

Obesity in Japan is often overlooked. Although the country is seen as a “slim nation,” the WHO recognises obesity for Asian populations from a BMI of 25 due to higher health risks at lower thresholds. Around 20% of adults receive obesity indicators during annual check-ups, yet many don’t get access to ongoing, supportive care.

Euc is here to offer a more supportive path through:

Thoughtful, evidence-based clinical care

Ethical and responsible prescribing

Accessible, affordable treatment options

Warm, non-judgemental support for every patient

Our aim: Help people in Japan live with confidence, vitality, and long-lasting wellbeing.
