다이어트 기간·요요 관리
Q. Is it possible to lose weight in one month? How can a Korean medicine clinic help?
A.
Yes, losing weight in a month is certainly possible with the right approach. A. If you have used weight-loss drugs (Wegovy, Saxenda, etc.), the priority is to clear their residual effects. B. For first-time Korean medicine dieters, we first identify constitutional causes like spleen deficiency (biheo) or phlegm-fluid retention (dameum). In both cases, herbal medicine and acupuncture help restore balance before promoting weight loss. I understand this from personal experience trying different methods.
📝 Detailed Answer
One month may seem short, but it’s enough time to redirect your body’s metabolism—though the approach depends on your history. If you’ve previously used Western weight-loss drugs like Wegovy or Saxenda, these medications suppress appetite or regulate bowel movements; after stopping, they can worsen spleen deficiency (biheo) or cause blood stasis (eohyeol). Therefore, I recommend first using herbal medicine and acupuncture to clear toxins and improve circulation. For those new to Korean medicine dieting, we start by assessing spleen deficiency, which impairs digestion and leads to phlegm-fluid retention (dameum)—a common reason weight loss stalls. Treatment focuses on tonifying the spleen with herbs and dietary adjustments. In either case, the key is not rapid change but restoring the body’s balance. I’ve made the same mistake of pushing for quick results, so I understand the pressure. Through an in-person consultation, we diagnose your condition and create a step-by-step plan to make that month productive and sustainable.
