Having tried various trending diets myself in the past, I experienced firsthand how jumping in without understanding one's own body can lead to extreme fatigue and dizziness. From a Traditional Korean Medicine (TKM) perspective, the core approach is a sequence of 'Emptying, Filling, and Consolidating.' First, we focus on clearing 'Dam-eum' (痰飮), which refers to abnormal accumulations of fluids and metabolic waste. When Dam-eum persists, metabolism slows down, making weight loss difficult. Next, we resolve 'Eo-hyeol' (瘀血), or blood stasis, to improve circulation. This ensures nutrients reach the periphery of the cells and enhances energy expenditure. Furthermore, we address 'Bi-heo' (脾虛), or Spleen Deficiency, to restore digestive function. If the Spleen is weak, the body struggles with nutrient absorption and is prone to edema; strong digestion is essential for maintaining a high basal metabolic rate. Finally, we use herbal medicines tailored to your specific constitution to regulate appetite and reinforce overall vitality. While popular probiotics or structured plans can be helpful, their efficiency is limited if the body's 'foundation' is not properly prepared. Rather than blindly following a trend, I encourage you to work with me to understand the specific signals your body is sending.
