Q. How can I start a customized diet plan tailored to my specific body constitution?

Many patients arrive determined to be 'extreme' with their dieting. Having experienced the pitfalls of reckless fasting and over-exercising in my own youth—which only led to physical exhaustion and dizziness—I understand those struggles deeply. Because the causes of weight gain vary by individual, we follow a structured TKM approach: 1. Constitutional Analysis & Diagnosis: We identify the accumulation of 'Dameum' (痰飮, stagnant fluid/phlegm) or 'Eohyeol' (瘀血, blood stasis), which are metabolic wastes that hinder weight loss. 2. Metabolic Capacity Evaluation: We check for 'Bi-heo' (脾虛, Spleen deficiency). If the Spleen function is weak, the body fails to absorb nutrients efficiently and instead accumulates waste, making one prone to weight gain. 3. Customized Herbal Prescription: We formulate herbal medicines to boost metabolism based on your constitution. The core objective is to normalize bodily functions rather than simply suppressing appetite. 4. Lifestyle Adjustment: We provide guidance on foods and sleep patterns suited to your constitution. Consuming foods that clash with your body type can diminish the efficacy of the herbal treatment. 5. Periodic Monitoring: We fine-tune the prescriptions by observing your body's reactions. This process focuses on finding a sustainable pace that your body accepts comfortably rather than forcing rapid weight loss. Ultimately, dieting is not about punishing your body, but about understanding it. Please visit us comfortably so we can find the best path together.
