I find myself obsessing over my InBody numbers. How do you manage the weight loss process at your clinic?
Rather than focusing solely on numbers, we prioritize the signals your body is sending. The goal is not just to reduce weight, but to restore metabolic function to create a 'body state where weight loss occurs naturally.' We use body composition analysis as a reference while monitoring edema, daily condition, and digestion to guide you through a step-by-step process.
It is natural to feel anxious when InBody numbers remain stagnant. However, Traditional Korean Medicine (TKM) focuses more on the 'internal environment' of the body than on raw data. At Baengnokdam Korean Medicine Clinic, our management process follows these key principles:
1. Improving Spleen Deficiency (Bi-heo): We first examine the digestive system. When the Spleen is weak, nutrients are not absorbed properly, and waste products accumulate. Strengthening this area is essential to restart your metabolism.
2. Removing Phlegm-Fluid (Dam-eum) and Blood Stasis (Eo-hyeol): We clear out unnecessary fluid accumulation (phlegm-fluid) and stagnant, turbid blood (blood stasis). As these are resolved, you will feel your body becoming lighter as edema decreases.
3. Supporting Basal Metabolic Rate: Extreme fasting puts the body into emergency mode, causing it to hoard energy. We use herbal medicine to replenish depleted Qi (vital energy), encouraging the body to burn energy efficiently on its own.
4. Lifestyle Correction: We help you find the ideal diet and activity level tailored to your specific constitution (Sasang constitution), as the right path differs for every individual.
Weight loss should be a process of 'reconciling with your own body.' Instead of being swayed by daily fluctuations in numbers, I encourage you to notice the freshness you feel upon waking and the way your clothes fit differently. When you visit, we will thoroughly assess your current state to build a personalized plan.
