📝 Detailed Answer
Losing weight is a difficult journey, and we understand that simply starving yourself often leads to poor health rather than sustainable results. In Traditional Korean Medicine (TKM), we focus on the fundamental question: 'Why does this body accumulate fat?'
First, we initiate a 'Detoxification Phase' to clear Dam-eum (phlegm-rheum) and Eo-hyeol (blood stasis). Think of these as metabolic waste and stagnant blood that clog your body's circulation, much like a blocked drain. If these aren't cleared, your body remains heavy and fat loss stays stagnant regardless of calorie restriction.
Next, we focus on 'Metabolic Revitalization.' Many patients suffer from Biheo (Spleen Qi Deficiency), where a weakened digestive system fails to convert nutrients into energy and instead stores them as fat. By strengthening the Spleen, we naturally raise your basal metabolic rate.
We also provide 'Constitutional Tailoring.' Every individual has different reasons for fat retention—some experience edema due to Qi stagnation from stress, while others face hormonal imbalances during menopause. We customize prescriptions to address these specific constitutional needs.
Finally, we enter the 'Maintenance Phase' to stabilize your new metabolic state and prevent the 'yo-yo effect.' Rather than losing muscle through fasting, our TKM approach aims to flip your 'metabolic switch' back on, helping your body become an efficient energy-burning machine. Let’s work together to check your internal balance and start a healthy transformation.
