I want to lower my body fat percentage. How do you help with diet and weight loss at your clinic?

We don't recommend extreme fasting. Instead, we focus on activating your body's 'metabolic switch.' After carefully assessing your overall energy levels, we aim to clear metabolic waste and induce the efficient burning of fat while preserving muscle mass. I've personally struggled with dizziness from mindless fasting in the past, so I want to help you avoid those mistakes and shed body fat at a pace that is right for your specific body.

When people think of diet plans, they often immediately imagine chicken breasts and sweet potatoes. However, in Traditional Korean Medicine (TKM), we first investigate the fundamental reason why a specific individual is prone to accumulating fat. First, we check for the presence of 'Dameum' (痰飮, abnormal fluid retention/phlegm) and 'Eohyeol' (瘀血, blood stasis). Just as a vacuum cleaner cannot work efficiently in a room overflowing with trash, your metabolism cannot function properly if these waste products are blocking your internal systems. Next, we focus on restoring metabolic function. If you are in a state of 'Bi-heo' (脾虛, Spleen deficiency/weak digestive function), your body cannot convert healthy food into energy, leading it to be stored as fat instead. The core of our treatment is to normalize this function and flip the 'metabolic switch' back on. Regarding your diet, rather than suggesting you starve yourself, we propose a plan tailored to your current energy levels to create an internal environment optimized for fat burning. I once tried to lose weight through sheer willpower and reckless fasting, only to experience the frustration of damaging my health in the process. Finally, we adjust the pace based on your specific constitution (Sasang constitution), as the areas and speed of fat loss vary by individual. We use herbal medicine to suppress 'false hunger' and support your body's stamina so you don't burn out while lowering your body fat percentage. Ultimately, the goal is to create a 'sustainable body.' Rather than simply reducing the number on the scale, think of this as a process of transforming your constitution into one that naturally and efficiently burns fat.
