I want to lower my body fat percentage. Specifically, what is the process for weight loss at a TKM clinic?

We do not recommend indiscriminate fasting. Instead, we focus on clearing 'metabolic waste' from the body first. After a thorough analysis of your constitution and current metabolic state, we prescribe customized herbal medicine to increase your basal metabolic rate and suppress appetite. The core of our approach is to replenish deficient energy and resolve blockages in circulation, enabling your body to naturally begin burning fat.

Many people try to lose weight through extreme fasting, but this often leads to muscle loss and fatigue while leaving body fat intact. At Baekrokdam TKM Clinic, we follow a systematic clinical approach: First, we conduct a constitutional diagnosis to identify the accumulation of 'Dameum' (phlegm-fluid/metabolic waste) and 'Eohyeol' (blood stasis). When these waste products accumulate, metabolism slows down, making weight loss significantly more difficult. Next, we focus on strengthening the Spleen and Stomach functions. Many patients suffer from 'Bi-heo' (Spleen deficiency), where impaired digestive and transport capacities prevent the body from utilizing energy efficiently, leading to fat storage. Correcting this deficiency is a prerequisite for sustainable weight loss. We then prescribe personalized herbal medicine tailored to your specific metabolism. These formulas are designed to promote lipolysis (fat burning) and alleviate 'false hunger' (cravings). Rather than forcing the body with aggressive stimulants, we find the optimal dosage your body can safely tolerate. Finally, we provide lifestyle modification guidance. With the support of herbal medicine, we help you naturally regulate your caloric intake and improve overall circulation. We believe weight loss is less about 'willpower' and more about the 'internal environment.' By clearing stagnation and flipping the metabolic switch, your body can return to its natural balance. We invite you to visit our clinic for a detailed assessment of your current health status.
