What four stages does a clinic use after adverse effects from diet supplements or drugs?
The four stages check phlegm-fluid and blood stasis, support weak digestion and circulation, maintain energy during focused loss, and settle weight and habits. Adjustments follow discomfort and constitution.
First, review discomfort during prior supplements or drugs and current phlegm-fluid and blood-stasis retention in a detailed assessment and clearing stage.
Second, support weak digestion and energy use and qi-blood circulation. Third, during focused loss, adjust energy and meal composition while checking body-fat change.
Fourth, settle reduced weight and habits in a maintenance stage. Pace follows response, but the same result or prevention of regain is not guaranteed. Share discomfort with the clinician and use lifestyle records to assess feasibility.
