Calculating body fat percentage is so complicated. Instead of just focusing on weight, what steps do Korean medicine clinics take to target body fat reduction?
Simply starving yourself to lose weight often leads to muscle loss, which can actually increase your body fat percentage. In Traditional Korean Medicine, we focus on clearing 'Phlegm-fluid' (Dam-eum)—metabolic waste—and strengthening the 'Spleen' (Bi-heo) to improve digestion and metabolism. By promoting internal circulation, we create an environment where the body naturally burns fat, ensuring a healthy and sustainable weight loss process.
Looking at the numbers can be overwhelming, and I understand how frustrating those InBody results can be. To achieve healthy fat loss rather than just reducing the number on the scale, our clinic follows a systematic approach. First, we detoxify 'Phlegm-fluid' (Dam-eum), which is essentially metabolic waste. Think of it like clearing a clogged drain; if waste is backed up, fat metabolism cannot function properly. Next, we address 'Spleen Deficiency' (Bi-heo) to boost your basal metabolic rate. By strengthening your internal 'engine,' your body starts burning energy more efficiently on its own. We also resolve 'Blood Stasis' (Eo-hyeol) to improve circulation, reduce swelling, and help the body flush out byproducts of fat breakdown. Finally, we prescribe personalized herbal medicine tailored to your constitution. The goal is to maintain satiety and preserve muscle mass while specifically targeting body fat. Instead of struggling with complex formulas, the fastest way to lose weight is to restore your body’s metabolic balance and circulation.
