I experienced a yo-yo effect after using diet medications like Saxenda. How can a Korean medicine clinic help me?

The yo-yo effect following Western pharmacological diet treatments usually occurs when the body's homeostasis is disrupted. In Traditional Korean Medicine (TKM), this is often viewed as 'Bi-heo' (Spleen Deficiency), a state where the Spleen's function is weakened, leading to inefficient energy metabolism. When the diet suddenly changes while digestive and absorptive capacities are low, the body tends to store fat more aggressively. At Baekrokdam Korean Medicine Clinic, we approach this through the following stages: 1. Removal of Internal Impurities: We first clear out 'Eohyeol' (blood stasis) and 'Dameum' (phlegm-fluid), which are stagnant wastes. If these pathways are blocked, even the best herbal medicines cannot be absorbed effectively. 2. Normalization of Metabolic Function: We improve the state of Spleen Deficiency to increase your 'basal strength,' allowing your body to burn energy on its own. During this phase, we use vitality-boosting herbal prescriptions to regulate hunger. 3. Appetite Regulation and Habit Correction: We help the brain's reward circuitry function normally. We provide constitution-specific prescriptions to ensure you aren't misled by 'false hunger.' 4. Maintenance and Reinforcement: This final stage focuses on maintaining your metabolic rate so that your reduced weight becomes the body's new baseline (set point). Throughout my own studies and trial-and-error, I realized that the core of sustainable health is moving at a 'pace the body can accept.' Please do not feel rushed; the most important first step is restoring your body's collapsed internal balance.
