I want to lower my body fat percentage. How does your clinic help with dietary management?

Rather than simply starving yourself, we focus on improving your body's metabolic efficiency. Since every constitution is different, a generic diet like eating only chicken breast may actually be counterproductive for some. After a thorough diagnosis, we provide a step-by-step guide to naturally curb appetite while replenishing your vital energy.

When people think of dieting, they usually think of 'eating less.' However, in Traditional Korean Medicine (TKM), we first examine the internal 'environment' that prevents weight loss. First, we focus on clearing 'Dam-eum' (痰飮), which are unnecessary metabolic waste products accumulated in the body. Removing these toxins makes dietary adjustments much easier on the system. Next, we assess whether you have 'Bi-heo' (脾虛), or a deficiency in Spleen function. If nutrient absorption and transport are impaired, it can actually lead to a constitution that gains weight more easily. In such cases, improving digestive power is the priority over fasting. Furthermore, an accumulation of 'Eo-hyeol' (瘀血), or stagnant blood, can significantly drop your basal metabolic rate. By combining dietary plans with medicinal herbs that improve blood circulation, we open the 'pathways' so that body fat can be burned more efficiently. Alongside this, we design a phased dietary plan that naturally reduces the size of the stomach and minimizes hunger signals in the brain. Through my experience and clinical practice, I have found that the answer lies in the 'optimal amount' tailored to your specific body. Please avoid damaging your health with extreme restrictive diets. The smartest way to prevent the yo-yo effect is to assess your current organ functions and customize your diet accordingly. Let's discuss this further during your visit.
