📝 Detailed Answer
Many people experience fatigue or dizziness after blindly following trendy diets; in TKM, this is often because such restrictive eating leads to 'Spleen Deficiency' (Bi-heo, 脾虛), where the organ responsible for digestion and absorption is weakened. When Spleen function declines, the body fails to produce sufficient energy, the basal metabolic rate drops, and the body becomes highly susceptible to the 'yo-yo effect' (weight regain).
At Baekrokdam Korean Medicine Clinic, we approach weight loss through a structured process:
First, we focus on eliminating 'Phlegm-Fluid' (Dam-eum, 痰飮—metabolic waste and unnecessary fluids) and 'Blood Stasis' (Eo-hyeol, 瘀血—stagnant blood). Clearing these obstructions is essential for smooth metabolism. Next, we use customized herbal medicine to regulate your basal metabolic rate, creating an internal environment where the body consumes energy efficiently even without extreme fasting. Simultaneously, we treat Spleen Deficiency to restore your ability to absorb nutrients and generate energy.
Finally, instead of unconditional restriction, we help you identify foods that suit your specific constitution to establish sustainable eating habits. The core of weight loss is not 'how little you eat,' but 'how well your body burns.' Prioritizing your body's natural rhythm over grueling diets is a far more sustainable and healthy strategy.
