📝 Detailed Answer
Many people try extreme fasting out of desperation, but this often leads to fatigue and dizziness without actually reducing belly fat. From clinical experience, abdominal fat is frequently not just a matter of calories, but a result of 'stagnation in circulation' within the body.
At Baekrokdam Korean Medicine Clinic, we approach this through the following stages:
First, we focus on clearing 'Dam-eum' (痰飮), which refers to accumulated metabolic waste or phlegm-fluid. Since these wastes manifest as stored fat, restoring a smooth flow of fluids is the primary priority.
Next, we 'flip the metabolic switch.' When the spleen function is weakened—a state known as 'Bi-heo' (脾虛)—nutrient absorption and transport become inefficient, causing fats to concentrate in the abdominal area. We prescribe treatments to restore digestive function and naturally increase your basal metabolic rate.
Furthermore, we address 'Eo-hyeol' (瘀血), or blood stasis. By improving blood circulation and removing these 'stagnant blood' impurities, we enable toxins to be excreted more efficiently, which accelerates weight loss.
Finally, instead of restrictive dieting, we work with you to fine-tune your eating habits and lifestyle based on your specific physical condition.
Rather than forcing weight loss, our goal is to create an internal 'environment' where your body can naturally burn fat. Once you visit, we will carefully diagnose whether your condition is rooted in Dam-eum, Bi-heo, or other imbalances to create a personalized management plan.
