I want to try a short-term diet for about a month. What is the process like at a Traditional Korean Medicine (TKM) clinic?

Many people try fasting without a plan, but this often leads to lethargy and dizziness. At Baengnokdam, we don't just aim for a lower number on the scale; we follow a four-step process to create a metabolic environment tailored to your specific constitution. 1. Constitution Diagnosis and Root Cause Analysis: We first assess your current health status. We determine whether you are experiencing Spleen Deficiency (脾虛, bi-heo), characterized by poor digestive function, or if there is an accumulation of waste products. Identifying the cause is essential for selecting the correct medicinal herbs. 2. Removing Metabolic Obstacles: We prioritize clearing 'Eohyeol' (瘀血, blood stasis/dead blood) and 'Dameum' (痰飮, abnormal phlegm-fluid/metabolic waste) stagnant in the body. This step must occur first to maximize the efficiency of fat burning. 3. Personalized Herbal Prescription: We prescribe customized herbal medicine to boost your basal metabolic rate. This works by suppressing 'false hunger' and increasing internal body heat to encourage energy expenditure. 4. Establishing Sustainable Habits: Relying solely on medicine often leads to the yo-yo effect. Instead of restrictive dieting, we provide food combination guides tailored to your specific constitution. The core of weight loss is putting your body in a state where it can utilize energy efficiently. Since metabolic rates vary by individual, the most important step is finding the right pace for your body through an accurate diagnosis.
