Q. I'm currently managing my diet with things like chicken breast, Vietnamese spring rolls, and diet kimbap. How can your clinic help me further?

Many people follow 'standard' diet trends only to experience bloating or inefficiency because the food doesn't align with their internal state. At Baekrokdam Clinic, we approach weight management through the following Traditional Korean Medicine (TKM) framework: 1. Assessing Digestive Absorption: We first check for 'Bi-heo' (Spleen Deficiency). If your digestive capacity is low, even healthy foods cannot be converted into energy and instead remain as metabolic waste. 2. Eliminating Waste (Dameum): We examine the presence of 'Dameum' (phlegm-fluid retention), which is a buildup of stagnant fluids and waste. When Dameum is prevalent, you may feel heavy and sluggish even while restricting calories. 3. Improving Blood Circulation (Eohyeol): We check for 'Eohyeol' (blood stasis). Stagnant blood flow can hinder the efficiency of weight loss, particularly in specific areas of the body. 4. Tailored Dietary Adjustment: Based on the above, we help you refine your chicken breast and vegetable-based diet, adjusting preparation methods and portions to suit your specific constitution. 5. Metabolic Boosting with Herbal Medicine: We prescribe customized herbal medicine to raise your basal metabolic rate and prevent the loss of vitality (Qi) that often accompanies restrictive dieting. Instead of blindly following a rigid meal plan, ensuring your body is physically prepared to process those nutrients is the most sustainable path to long-term success.
