Q. My body fat percentage is around 25%. How does the clinic help with weight loss?

At Baekrokdam Korean Medicine Clinic, we focus on creating an internal environment where the body can naturally burn fat, rather than simply reducing numbers on a scale. Based on clinical experience, the sequence of 'emptying and filling' is the most critical factor for sustainable weight loss. First, we assess the presence of Dam-eum (痰飮), which refers to accumulated phlegm-fluid or metabolic waste. When metabolism is stagnant due to Dam-eum, weight loss becomes difficult even with severe calorie restriction. We then address Eohyeol (瘀血), or blood stasis, to improve circulation, ensuring that the energy required for fat combustion is delivered efficiently throughout the body. Furthermore, many patients suffer from Bi-heo (脾虛), or Spleen Qi Deficiency. When digestive function is weak, it leads to lethargy and 'false hunger,' which triggers overeating. We supplement these functions to naturally control cravings. Based on these foundational steps, we prescribe herbal medicine to regulate appetite and boost metabolism, reducing body fat while maintaining systemic balance. Finally, we help you establish habits to maintain your metabolic rate and prevent the yo-yo effect once your body fat percentage has decreased. Since every individual's constitution (Sasang typology) is different, the ultimate solution lies within your own body. Once you visit us, I will help you find that personalized answer.
