Many patients ask if all weight loss methods are essentially the same, but bodily responses vary significantly. Conventional medical weight loss typically works by sending forced 'fullness' signals to the brain to suppress appetite quickly. While efficient, some patients experience side effects like insomnia or heart palpitations. TKM takes a different approach. We first clear 'Dameum' (痰飮, accumulated phlegm-fluid that obstructs Qi and blood circulation) and 'Eohyeol' (瘀血, blood stasis or stagnant blood). It is similar to cleaning out a house full of trash before rearranging the furniture. For those with 'Bi-heo' (脾虛, Spleen deficiency), where weak digestive function leads to poor nutrient absorption and transport, extreme calorie restriction often leads to sudden fatigue and premature failure. These patients require prescriptions that boost vitality while increasing metabolic rate. The core of TKM is not merely reducing numbers on a scale, but creating an internal environment where the body is naturally primed for weight loss. I recommend assessing your current physical state to make the most sustainable choice.
