Dieting is hardest when it comes to managing what I eat. What steps does a Korean medicine clinic take to help correct eating habits?
Weight loss is a journey of restoring balance to the body rather than the pain of starvation. We follow a three-stage process: clearing metabolic waste, boosting basal metabolism, and building the strength to maintain weight independently. Throughout this journey, herbal medicine serves as a reliable 'pacemaker' by regulating appetite and replenishing vital energy.
Many people view dieting solely as a test of willpower, but your physical state is far more important. At our clinic, we proceed through four core stages to ensure sustainable weight loss. First, we clear 'Damyum' (phlegm-fluid), which is accumulated metabolic waste that blocks circulation and hinders weight loss. Second, we address 'Biheo' (Spleen deficiency) by strengthening Spleen function. A weak Spleen often leads to bloating and easy weight gain; we focus on restoring digestive power so your body uses energy efficiently. Third, we remove 'Eohyeol' (blood stasis)—stagnant blood that impedes metabolism—to ensure body fat burns effectively through improved circulation. Finally, we focus on maintaining the 'set-point' to prevent the body from reverting to its previous weight. Using herbal medicine to control appetite and prevent fatigue, we help your body adapt until these new habits become second nature. TKM weight loss is about systematically removing factors that hinder metabolism rather than simply starving.
