Q. How is a Korean Medicine weight loss program operated step by step?

Have you tried dieting many times without success? I understand—I've been there too. Our program adapts based on individual patterns. First comes the initial consultation and diagnosis stage. Here we determine whether the issue is spleen deficiency (biheo, 脾虛) causing poor digestion and absorption, phlegm-fluid retention (dameum, 痰飮) leading to heaviness and edema, or blood stasis (eohyeol, 瘀血) hindering circulation. For example, if appetite control is the challenge, liver qi stagnation (gan-gi-ulgyeol, 肝氣鬱結) is often involved. The direction varies accordingly. The second stage is active regulation, combining herbal medicine, acupuncture, moxibustion, and lifestyle correction. A key point: we never force 'eat less and move more' blindly. For spleen deficiency, we use qi-boosting herbs to improve digestive power; for phlegm-fluid, we focus on eliminating accumulated waste. Unlike conventional diet drugs that artificially suppress appetite or stimulate the nervous system, this approach minimizes side effects and rebound weight gain. Finally, the maintenance stage shares constitution-specific dietary and lifestyle tips to preserve improvements. Rebound occurs because people return to old habits after losing weight; we focus on changing those habits themselves. However, since individual results vary, we don't promise a specific kilogram loss. Regular consultation to find your body's rhythm is what matters most.
