Q. I'm an office worker; is it possible to maintain my daily routine while following a TKM diet program?

To put it simply, yes, it is possible. However, it would be dishonest to say it is always effortless. Let me share both the advantages and the points of caution. The primary advantage is that the program is 'individually customized.' Instead of simply suppressing appetite, the treatment focuses on boosting metabolism while replenishing your vital energy (Qi), which helps you maintain focus at work. Specifically, those who feel heavy or suffer from edema will experience a feeling of lightness as we remove 'Dameum' (痰飮)—the accumulation of metabolic waste products in the body. On the other hand, some discomfort may occur. When first taking the herbal medicine, some patients experience heart palpitations or insomnia. I have personally experienced a sleepless night in the past when a prescription was too potent due to over-ambition. Additionally, those with 'Bi-heo' (脾虛)—a constitutionally weak digestive system—may initially experience heartburn or nausea. Ultimately, the answer depends on the individual. We must finely tune the potency and type of prescription based on your current condition, sleep quality, and digestive health. A stronger medicine is not necessarily a better one; the goal is to find the optimal point where your body can adapt without disrupting your daily professional life. I invite you to visit our clinic so we can evaluate your current state together and find the most comfortable path for you.
