Many people are drinking trendy diet coffees and supplements these days. How do you approach weight loss at your clinic?

I have personally tried various trendy diet drinks and supplements in the past. While I saw some initial weight loss, it eventually led to bloating and dizziness—a classic case of trial and error without a proper plan. In Traditional Korean Medicine (TKM), the priority is not just 'eating less and moving more,' but first clearing the stagnation within the body. We typically follow these systematic stages: First, we remove 'Dameum' (phlegm-fluid retention). If unnecessary moisture and metabolic waste are not cleared, the body cannot absorb nutrients efficiently, regardless of the diet. Next, we address 'Eohyeol' (blood stasis). When blood flow is obstructed, the efficiency of body fat combustion drops. Then, we move to the 'Bi-heo' (Spleen deficiency) stage to strengthen digestive and absorptive functions. Only when the digestive system is robust can 'false hunger' be eliminated and appetite be easily controlled. Once these stages are complete, the body finally enters the metabolic normalization phase where it can independently utilize energy. Many commercial diet drinks rely on temporary stimulants or diuretic effects. However, without improving your fundamental 'metabolic power,' you will inevitably hit the wall of the yo-yo effect. Instead of relying on supplements or extreme fasting, I recommend checking where your body's natural flow is currently blocked.
