A. After sudden weight fluctuations or the discontinuation of medication, the body often loses its metabolic equilibrium. Rather than simply focusing on weight loss, we prioritize restoring your disrupted metabolic rhythm. We begin by analyzing your constitution, clearing accumulated toxins and waste, and gradually transitioning your body into a state where it can naturally burn energy efficiently, focusing on building resilience rather than rushing the results.
📝 Detailed Answer
Many people experience extreme fatigue and dizziness after aggressive dieting or using potent medications. When weight is dropped too rapidly through chemical means, the body enters a 'crisis mode,' significantly lowering the basal metabolic rate to survive. In Traditional Korean Medicine (TKM), we address this through three primary therapeutic pillars:
1. Normalization of Qi and Blood Circulation: We first clear 'Eohyeol' (瘀血), which refers to stagnant blood and accumulated metabolic waste. When circulation is blocked, the body feels heavy and prone to edema regardless of caloric intake.
2. Removal of Dameum (痰飮): We eliminate 'Dameum,' the abnormal accumulation of fluids and phlegm-like waste in the body. If left untreated, this slows down metabolism, creating a physiological environment where even small amounts of food are easily converted into fat.
3. Improving Spleen Deficiency (Bi-heo, 脾虛): In TKM, 'Bi-heo' refers to a weakened Spleen system. When the functions of digestion, absorption, and nutrient transport are impaired, muscle mass decreases while body fat increases. The core of our treatment is restoring this function to create a body that 'burns energy on its own.'
Ultimately, this is not about 'forced weight loss' but a process of shifting your overall constitution to one that is naturally predisposed to maintain a healthy weight. Upon visiting the clinic, we will assess your current energy levels and digestive capacity to provide a personalized, step-by-step prescription tailored to your specific needs.
