Q. My abdominal obesity index is high; what are the specific steps for weight loss at a Korean medicine clinic?

Abdominal obesity often stems from stagnant internal circulation rather than overeating alone. Through my own studies and trial and error, I've found that the 'power to eliminate' is the core of success. At Baekrokdam, we approach weight loss through the following stages: 1. Constitutional Diagnosis and Clearing Stagnation: We first identify the presence of Dam-eum (痰飮, accumulated fluid waste) and Eo-hyeol (瘀血, stagnant blood). If these are not discharged, weight loss remains difficult regardless of caloric restriction. 2. Restoring Digestive and Absorptive Function: We check for Bi-heo (脾虛), a state of deficiency in the Spleen/digestive system. A weak digestive system fails to utilize energy efficiently, leading to fat accumulation; we supplement this to improve metabolic efficiency. 3. Burning Body Fat and Regulating Appetite: Once bodily functions are normalized, herbal medicine is used to elevate the basal metabolic rate. This is not about forced suppression, but helping the body naturally utilize energy. 4. Maintaining Homeostasis and Improving Constitution: After weight loss, the brain must recognize the new weight as the 'normal' set point. This stage focuses on maintaining muscle mass and basal metabolism to prevent weight regain. I understand how challenging dieting can be, as I've experienced the dizziness and failure of improper methods myself. Instead of imposing a rigid regimen, I want to work with you to find a sustainable pace that fits your life.
