Q. I lose all my energy and fail every time I try to diet. What kind of step-by-step help does a Korean medicine clinic provide?

Weight loss is often unsuccessful when the body isn't internally prepared for the change. At our clinic, we use a systematic 4-step approach rooted in Traditional Korean Medicine (TKM) to ensure healthy results. First is the 'Detoxification Stage.' We focus on clearing 'Phlegm-fluid' (stagnant body fluids) and 'Blood Stasis' (stagnant blood) that accumulate as toxins and block metabolic pathways. Second is 'Metabolic Strengthening.' Patients who feel they gain weight even with minimal food often suffer from 'Spleen Deficiency' (Pi-xu). By reinforcing the Spleen and digestive functions, we raise the basal metabolic rate so the body consumes energy more efficiently. Third is the 'Regulation and Reduction Stage.' We use customized herbal medicine to naturally manage appetite and induce satiety, preventing the stress of extreme hunger. These prescriptions also improve 'Qi and Blood' circulation to promote active fat burning. Finally, we reach the 'Stabilization Stage.' This is the most critical phase where we stabilize your constitution so the body recognizes the new weight as its permanent state, effectively preventing the yo-yo effect. Rather than a one-size-fits-all approach, we identify the specific cause of your circulatory stagnation to provide a fundamental solution.
