When InBody shows a high abdominal fat ratio, what process does a Korean medicine clinic examine?
An InBody value is one indicator of abdominal fat and does not establish its cause. The clinic reviews constitution, digestion, circulation, and metabolic status, then adjusts food and lifestyle in stages.
The abdominal fat ratio on an InBody test is one source of information about current body composition; the number alone cannot establish internal organ function or a cause. Food, activity, digestion, and energy are reviewed together to understand the pattern of abdominal fat accumulation.
Korean medicine may interpret the condition through spleen qi deficiency involving weak digestion and nutrient transport, phlegm-fluid retention involving heaviness and stagnation, and blood stasis involving impaired circulation. These views guide individualized meals and supportive prescriptions but do not diagnose or guarantee abdominal fat reduction.
Food, activity, and any complementary care are then adjusted with stagnation and metabolic status in mind, followed by a maintenance phase that tracks the body’s response. The priority is a suitable pace and sustainable plan rather than forcing the number down quickly.
