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

Weight loss is often a challenging journey. Many people attempt extreme fasting, only to experience dizziness and a lack of focus, which proves that the key to sustainable weight loss lies in balancing your unique constitution and addressing current internal imbalances. At Baekrokdam Korean Medicine Clinic, we guide you through the following professional stages: 1. Constitutional and State Diagnosis: We first evaluate your current condition to determine if you are experiencing 'Bi-heo' (脾虛, Spleen Deficiency), where weak digestive function slows down metabolism, or if your body is simply burdened by accumulated waste. 2. Removal of Toxins and Waste: We focus on clearing 'Eohyeol' (瘀血, blood stasis/dead blood) and 'Dameum' (痰飮, abnormal fluid retention). Clearing these obstructions first increases the absorption rate of herbal medicine and makes the body feel lighter. 3. Metabolic Efficiency Optimization: Using customized herbal medicine tailored to your constitution, we raise your basal metabolic rate. Instead of forced starvation, we help your body naturally optimize energy expenditure. 4. Personalized Lifestyle Correction: Since the ideal foods and exercises vary by constitution, we work with you to create sustainable habits rather than an overly ambitious plan. Everyone is born with a different constitution and has lived in different environments, meaning there is no one-size-fits-all answer. Rather than relying on what worked for others, it is time to focus on the signals your own body is sending.
