Q. I need to lose weight quickly. What steps does a Korean medicine clinic follow for weight loss?

Abrupt weight loss puts great stress on the body. So instead of blindly reducing food intake, we approach it by first clearing internal waste. 1. Constitutional diagnosis and toxin removal: We first resolve phlegm-fluid retention (痰飮, sticky waste accumulation). Like a clogged drain overflowing if you keep pouring water, we open the elimination pathways first. 2. Metabolism activation: For those with spleen deficiency (脾虛), weak spleen function leads to easy bloating and low energy even with small meals. We supplement this function to naturally raise basal metabolic rate. 3. Blood circulation and blood stasis (瘀血) removal: We eliminate stagnant blood so nutrients reach peripheral nerves, making exercise more efficient for fat burning. 4. Diet regulation and maintenance: Instead of extreme fasting, we practice finding the right amount your body can handle. Through my own trial and error, I learned sustainable rhythm is most important. This stepwise approach reduces rebound weight gain and helps you reach your goal without burnout. When you visit, we can discuss which stage your current body is in.
