Q. I'm eating healthy meals like stir-fried tofu for my diet; how do you manage dietary plans at your clinic?

Many people struggle with digestive discomfort even when eating 'healthy' foods because if the body cannot process them, even nutritious food can become a burden. At Baekrokdam Korean Medicine Clinic, we customize your diet through a systematic approach. First, we assess your digestive function. Those with Bi-heo (Spleen Deficiency) may experience bloating or gas even with proteins like tofu; for them, restoring digestive power is the primary goal. Next, we focus on clearing Dam-eum (phlegm-fluid retention), which refers to unnecessary fluids and metabolic waste accumulated in the body. Removing these allows your metabolism to function efficiently even with the same food intake. Furthermore, we address Eo-hyeol (blood stasis/stagnant blood) to improve the circulation of Qi and blood, creating an optimal environment for efficient fat burning. Once these internal conditions are addressed, we suggest specific ingredients and cooking methods suited to your constitution. Even a healthy dish like stir-fried tofu can evoke different bodily responses depending on the type of oil and vegetables used. Weight loss is less about 'what you eat less of' and more about 'how your body utilizes nutrients.' Understanding your precise internal state is the fastest and most reliable way to achieve results without the yo-yo effect.
