How the Treatment Works

Q. I'm planning to lose weight by eating only store-bought diet meals like chicken breast hot bars. How do you manage weight loss at your clinic?

A.

Relying solely on chicken breast can lead to fatigue and dizziness. At Baekrokdam, we focus more on 'how well your body absorbs nutrients' rather than just 'what you eat.' We use a step-by-step approach to boost your metabolism according to your constitution, reducing dietary stress and creating an environment where your body naturally burns energy.

📝 Detailed Answer

Convenience store chicken breast bars are certainly easy, and many of us have relied on them during busy times. However, repeating such a restrictive diet can easily lead to 'Bi-heo' (Spleen Deficiency). When the Spleen's function weakens, nutrient absorption fails, which often results in a loss of vitality and a slower metabolic rate. At Baekrokdam Korean Medicine Clinic, we address these concerns through a four-step approach: First, we evaluate your overall energy levels and metabolic state. If your baseline energy is too low, your body perceives dietary restriction as an 'emergency' and clings to energy stores, making weight loss harder. Second, we focus on removing 'Dam-eum' (phlegm-fluid retention) and 'Eo-hyeol' (blood stasis). When metabolic waste and stagnant blood block the body's pathways, the efficiency of your diet and exercise drops significantly. Third, we prescribe personalized herbal medicine to suppress 'false hunger' and increase your basal metabolic rate. This process helps relieve the burden on your body caused by the additives found in processed diet foods. Finally, we provide a sustainable dietary guide. Rather than simply telling you to endure hunger, we suggest an eating plan tailored to your specific lifestyle pattern to ensure efficient management without unnecessary struggle. We believe dieting is not about starving, but about flipping the 'broken switch' of your metabolism back on. Instead of struggling alone, we invite you to visit us for a precise diagnosis of your current health status.
