Q. I'm managing my diet with mostly salads, similar to eating at Subway. How can your clinic help me with this?

Many people follow 'clean eating' trends only to experience fatigue or dizziness because the diet doesn't align with their body's needs. In Traditional Korean Medicine (TKM), we prioritize clearing metabolic waste and stagnant energy (Qi) over mere calorie restriction. At Baekrokdam Clinic, our weight loss program follows these steps: 1. Constitution and Metabolic Diagnosis: We check for Spleen Deficiency (Bi-heo). If your spleen function is weak, cold foods like raw salads can actually impair digestion and increase edema (swelling). 2. Clearing Phlegm-Fluid (Dam-eum) and Blood Stasis (Eo-hyeol): We remove accumulated fluid waste (Phlegm-fluid) and turbid blood (Blood stasis). If these pathways are blocked, weight loss remains difficult regardless of how little you eat. 3. Boosting Basal Metabolic Rate (BMR): We use herbal medicine to create an internal environment where your body burns energy efficiently without the need for extreme starvation. 4. Personalized Dietary Guidance: Even when eating Subway, we suggest sauces and vegetable combinations tailored to your constitution. For those with a 'cold' body type, we recommend increasing the proportion of cooked vegetables over raw ones. 5. Maintenance and Yo-yo Prevention: We fill the nutritional gaps after rapid weight loss and stabilize the body's inertia to prevent the weight from returning. If you are already managing your diet well, think of our treatment as 'adding the right engine oil' to your body to make the process smoother and more sustainable.
