I've become obsessed with my body fat percentage. How do you handle weight loss at your clinic?
Focusing solely on numbers often leads to anxiety and physical exhaustion. At Baengnokdam Clinic, we prioritize identifying the root cause of why your body stores fat over simple weight loss. By restoring your metabolic function, your weight will naturally regulate itself through a steady, phased approach.
Numbers like InBody results or body fat percentages are merely references, not the absolute truth. Obsessing over them often leads to extreme fasting, which the body perceives as an emergency, potentially turning your constitution into one that resists weight loss even more. Through my clinical experience, I've found that the keys to sustainable weight loss are 'circulation' and 'elimination.'
Weight loss at Baengnokdam Clinic generally follows this progression:
1. Constitution and Vitality Diagnosis: We determine if your condition is caused by Spleen Deficiency (脾虛), resulting in poor digestion and absorption, or by Qi stagnation. Pushing for weight loss when the 'metabolic engine' is broken only damages the body.
2. Removal of Waste and Toxins: We first clear out Blood Stasis (瘀血, stagnant blood) and Phlegm-Fluid (痰飮, abnormal fluid accumulation). Just as you cannot rearrange furniture in a house full of trash, we must clear the internal environment first.
3. Boosting Metabolic Efficiency: Using customized herbal medicine, we naturally increase your basal metabolic rate so that your body can efficiently utilize stored fat as energy.
4. Lifestyle and Dietary Correction: Rather than mindless fasting, we work together to establish a diet tailored to your specific constitution to prevent the yo-yo effect.
My goal is not simply to reduce your weight, but to restore balance and transform your body into one that does not easily gain weight. I encourage you to let go of the urgency and walk this path to health with me step by step.
