About Joseph Chang
Joseph Chang, Executive Vice President and Chief Scientific Officer at Nu Skin Enterprises, has been promoting the company’s Prism device, which he describes as a tool that measures nutritional health by using light to detect carotenoids on the skin. Chang has stated that the device has evolved from a simple antioxidant scanner into a “translator” that can separate biological aging from chronological aging, and he has claimed that a higher nutritional health score can equate to being four years biologically younger. He has also discussed the company’s Vitameal program, which he said was designed in collaboration with a WHO pediatrician at UC Davis and is intended to provide complete nourishment, contrasting it with other programs he described as providing only carbohydrates. In multiple presentations, Chang has emphasized the role of Nu Skin’s distributor network, stating that the company is “for you, by you and with you” and that “nothing moves in Nu Skin because you are the east wind.” He has described the business as driven by recruitment, retention, and volume, adding that “there are very few businesses that allow me to be able to equate your financial success to being healthier and looking better.” Chang has also commented on the limitations of pharmaceutical approaches, saying that “drugs can treat and cure a disease, but they can never heal the body,” and that natural ingredients are often ignored by drug companies because they cannot be patented. He has acknowledged that regulatory agencies like the TGA and FDA restrict certain health claims for the Prism device.
