How does the weight loss program at your clinic work step-by-step? I'd like to know the specific process.
We take a phased approach tailored to your unique constitution and current physical state. First, we identify 'blockages' in your body through a detailed diagnosis and prescribe herbal medicine to boost metabolism. Depending on your weight loss progress, we then adjust the potency of the medication or move into a maintenance phase, focusing on enabling your body to utilize energy efficiently rather than simply starving it.
Many people struggle with extreme dieting and the resulting fatigue and dizziness, which is why we begin by identifying your body's 'baseline.' Our approach is divided based on your specific physiological state:
1. Low Metabolic Rate: In TKM, this is often associated with 'Spleen Deficiency' (Bi-heo), where the Spleen's function is weakened, hindering nutrient absorption and energy conversion. Instead of restrictive eating, we first prescribe herbal medicine to revitalize digestive function and increase your basal metabolic rate.
2. Accumulation of Waste: This refers to the presence of 'Phlegm-fluid' (Dameum) or 'Blood Stasis' (Eohyeol)—metabolic waste that obstructs circulation. We must first clear these toxins to ensure the subsequent weight loss treatments are fully effective.
Once the foundation is set, we use customized herbal medicine to regulate appetite and promote metabolism. The key here is a gradual transition to prevent the body from reacting defensively, which is the primary cause of the 'yo-yo' effect.
Finally, we move into a maintenance phase to help your body 'remember' and stabilize its new weight. Sustainable health is more important than rapid loss. When you visit, we will determine which phase you are currently in and map out the optimal path for your success.
