Q. How is the weight loss program at the TKM clinic structured step-by-step?

Many people attempt extreme fasting, which often leads to dizziness and eventual binge eating. To prevent this, our clinic employs a personalized, phased system based on your specific energy levels. First, if you struggle with uncontrollable appetite and severe edema, we begin by removing 'Dam-eum' (痰飮)—the accumulation of metabolic waste and fluids in the body. Clearing these toxins is essential to smooth out metabolism and trigger natural weight loss. Second, if you experience extreme fatigue or exhaustion during dieting, we check for 'Bi-heo' (脾虛), or deficiency of the Spleen/Digestive system. When digestive function is weak, you may feel hungry and lethargic even with slight caloric reductions. In this case, we first focus on enhancing digestive absorption and reinforcing your vital energy (Qi) to ensure sustainable weight loss without the 'yo-yo' effect. Third, for those with long-term weight gain and poor circulation, we provide prescriptions to resolve 'Eo-hyeol' (瘀血), or blood stasis. Improving blood flow is critical to increasing the efficiency of fat combustion. Ultimately, the process follows a flow of 'Emptying, Filling, and Maintaining.' Since the amount of waste to be cleared and the energy to be replenished differ for everyone, I will work with you during your visit to determine the most efficient path for your body.
