I've personally experienced trying to lose weight through sheer will and fasting, only to end up with dizziness and a complete loss of focus at work. Through that experience, I learned that excessive short-term weight loss inevitably triggers 'body resistance.' At Baekrokdam Korean Medicine Clinic, we take a more systemic approach: First, we assess your constitution and metabolic state. We determine whether you are suffering from 'Bi-heo' (脾虛), a deficiency in the spleen and digestive function, or if your body is simply burdened by accumulated waste. Next, we focus on clearing the pathways for waste removal. We prioritize eliminating 'Eohyeol' (瘀血, stagnant blood/blood stasis) and 'Dameum' (痰飮, abnormal fluid accumulation). If we try to force weight loss while these pathways are blocked, it can damage your overall health. Once the pathways are clear, we use herbal medicine to regulate your basal metabolic rate, helping your body use energy efficiently even with a reduced caloric intake. Finally, we work on dietary adaptation. Instead of drastic restrictions, we practice gradually reducing portions to a level where your body feels minimal hunger and stress. The success of a diet isn't measured by how quickly you lose weight, but by how little stress your body undergoes in the process. When you visit the clinic, we will work together to find the optimal pace tailored specifically to your current health status.
