Q. What is the specific process for weight loss management at a Korean medicine clinic?

Many people attempt drastic fasting, which often leads to dizziness and exhaustion. To avoid such pitfalls, our approach focuses on sustainable health through the following clinical steps: 1. Constitutional Analysis and Diagnosis: We review your dietary habits, sleep patterns, and stress levels. In Traditional Korean Medicine (TKM), we specifically check for 'Spleen Deficiency' (Bi-heo), a state where the spleen's dysfunction hinders proper nutrient absorption and transport. 2. Removing Metabolic Obstructions: We focus on eliminating 'Phlegm-Fluid' (Dameum). This refers to the accumulation of metabolic waste and stagnation of fluids; when this is prevalent, metabolism slows down, making weight loss difficult. 3. Customized Herbal Prescription: Based on your constitution, we prescribe herbal medicine to suppress excessive appetite and boost your basal metabolic rate. During this process, we also address 'Blood Stasis' (Eohyeol)—stagnant blood or debris—to clear the body's circulatory pathways. 4. Lifestyle Correction and Maintenance: We provide guidance on diets and activity levels tailored to your specific constitution so you don't rely solely on medication. The ultimate goal is to transform your body into one that efficiently utilizes energy. Ultimately, weight loss in TKM is not about 'eating less' but about creating a body that 'functions well.' We will work together to identify and clear the blockages in your system.
