Q. I've been eating mainly roasted vegetables for my diet; how does a Korean medicine clinic approach this?

Even health professionals can sometimes experience fatigue or dizziness by blindly following trendy diets. While roasted vegetables are a great choice, those with a weak digestive system who consume excessive amounts of 'cold-natured' vegetables may suffer from Spleen Deficiency (脾虛), which weakens the digestive function and slows down the overall metabolism. At Baekrokdam, we approach weight loss through a systematic process: First, we perform a constitution diagnosis to determine if your body is currently capable of burning energy efficiently or if you are in a state of energy deficiency. Next, we focus on removing 'Dam-eum' (phlegm-fluid retention) and 'Eo-hyeol' (blood stasis). Clearing these accumulated waste products and stagnant blood is essential to opening the body's metabolic pathways. We then proceed with a digestive strengthening phase to support the Spleen, creating an internal environment where you can generate sufficient energy even with smaller portions. Following this, we prescribe customized herbal medicine to suppress appetite while preserving muscle mass and targeting the combustion of body fat. Finally, we help correct lifestyle habits by designing an optimal diet tailored to your specific constitution. Ultimately, 'how your body processes food' is more important than 'what you eat.' Balancing the body first, rather than relying on starvation or restrictive diets, is the only way to achieve healthy weight loss without the yo-yo effect.
