I heard that weight loss methods differ by constitution. Specifically, how is the process carried out?
Since everyone is born with different innate energy and physical conditions, it is essential to identify your body's specific 'weak points' rather than simply starving. At Baekrokdam, we first determine whether your metabolism is sluggish or if your energy is blocked due to stress. Based on this constitutional analysis, we provide customized herbal medicine and prescriptions to restore balance and naturally regulate weight.
Many people make the mistake of simply eating less and moving more, but the reasons for weight gain differ for everyone. We guide you through the following specialized stages:
1. Constitutional and Status Analysis: We assess your current condition to determine if you are in a state of Spleen Deficiency (脾虛), where weak digestive function prevents energy production, or if your body is burdened by accumulated waste.
2. Resolving Stagnation: We first clear out Blood Stasis (瘀血, stagnant blood) and Phlegm-Fluid (痰飮, abnormal fluid accumulation). If these pathways are blocked, weight loss is inefficient regardless of how little you eat.
3. Activating the Metabolic Switch: Using constitution-specific herbal medicine, we increase your basal metabolic rate. Instead of forced fasting, we create a physiological environment where your body can efficiently utilize energy on its own.
4. Lifestyle Correction: We guide you on which foods align with your constitution and which do not. We believe that finding 'foods that are comfortable for your body'—rather than absolute restriction—is the key to preventing the yo-yo effect.
Following trendy diets without considering your constitution can lead to exhaustion and dizziness. The healthiest approach is to understand the unique principles of your own body.
