I've seen trendy diets like the 'cheese diet' lately; how does a Traditional Korean Medicine clinic approach this?

Many people jump into trending diets only to experience dizziness or fatigue because these plans ignore individual biological differences. While high-protein, high-fat diets like a cheese-based regime may work for some, they can be detrimental to others from a TKM perspective. At Baekrokdam, we follow a systematic four-step approach: 1. **Identifying Internal Stagnation:** We first check for the accumulation of Dam-eum (痰飮, phlegm-fluid) and Eo-hyeol (瘀血, blood stasis). If these metabolic wastes block the body's pathways, even a healthy diet will lead to poor absorption and edema rather than weight loss. 2. **Evaluating Digestive Capacity:** We assess whether you have Bi-heo (脾虛), or a deficiency in Spleen function. Those with a weak digestive system may experience indigestion or diarrhea when suddenly increasing high-fat intake. We ensure your digestive organs can actually handle the food you are eating. 3. **Activating the Metabolic Switch:** Through tailored herbal medicine, we raise your basal metabolic rate and improve the circulation of Qi and Blood. This shifts your body into an 'energy-burning mode,' maximizing the efficiency of any diet you follow. 4. **Prescribing Personalized Nutrition:** Instead of rigid restrictions, we recommend foods that supplement the specific energy deficiencies of your constitution. The core philosophy is that 'the ability of your body to process the food' is more important than 'what food you eat.' We strongly recommend checking your internal health before exhausting your body with a one-size-fits-all diet.
