The Georgia Composite Medical Board took action against Dr. Andrew Ben-Hua Chung's medical license due to long-standing concerns about his mental fitness and ability to practice safely, which culminated in his failure to comply with mandatory evaluation orders.The primary factors leading to his multi-year disciplinary battle and eventual final board decisions include: 1. Refusal to Comply with Medical Evaluations Dr. Chung's license was initially suspended after he failed to comply with a board order requiring him to complete a comprehensive mental and physical examination. The board explicitly warned that a failure to submit the psychiatric evaluation results within a set timeframe would trigger a license revocation. 2. Erratic Behavior and "Wonderfully Hungry" Mandate The board launched an investigation after receiving complaints from local attorneys regarding erratic behavior that raised severe patient care concerns. Investigative findings and public hearing testimonies revealed that Dr. Chung refused to converse or interact with patients, board members, or witnesses unless they explicitly stated they were "wonderfully hungry". 3. Controversial Dietary Teachings The board's scrutiny was intensified by Dr. Chung's public promotion of his "Be Hungry" diet book, which instructed individuals to strictly limit their intake to 32 ounces of food per day. His unorthodox practices and social media presence further drew negative attention due to a tenuous connection to a high-profile 2012 starvation case involving a teenager, though criminal culpability was limited to the child's mother. 4. Failure to Reverse Board Suspensions Dr. Chung repeatedly contested the state's actions through administrative agency reviews and hearings. However, because his behavior persisted during live hearings and he failed to successfully fulfill the board's standard medical prerequisites for safe practice, the state consistently upheld its restrictions—ultimately solidifying his disciplinary status in the March 2025 Final Decision
