Q. I checked my status using an online body fat calculator, but the numbers alone are overwhelming. In what order does a Traditional Korean Medicine clinic help with weight loss?

Were you surprised by the results from the online calculator? Many people try to lose weight by starving themselves, only to experience dizziness and fatigue. At our clinic, we focus on changing your fundamental constitution rather than just reducing numbers through the following stages: 1. Sajin (The Four Examinations): We don't just measure weight. We use 'Mang-mun-mun-jeol' (Observation, Listening & Smelling, Inquiry, and Pulse Palpation) to identify where your energy is blocked. This serves as the foundation for a personalized prescription tailored specifically to your body. 2. Clearing Damaeum (Phlegm-fluid): If weight loss feels particularly difficult, it is often due to accumulated Damaeum—non-physiological metabolic waste. This can make you feel bloated even after just drinking water. Removing these residues provides the necessary momentum for effective fat loss. 3. Removing Eohyeol (Blood Stasis): We also address stagnant blood circulation, known as Eohyeol. This step is crucial for those with cold extremities or lower-body obesity. Improving blood flow ensures that body fat is burned more efficiently. 4. Reinforcing the Spleen (Addressing Biheo): 'Biheo' refers to a weakened state of the spleen and digestive system. When digestive energy is low, the body tends to store calories as fat rather than using them. We repair your metabolic engine so your body converts food into energy instead of storage. 5. Maintenance and Consolidation: After losing weight, the body strongly attempts to return to its original weight (the set point). We prescribe treatments to replenish vital energy, helping your body 'remember' its new state and effectively preventing the yo-yo effect. The core of dieting is normalizing your metabolic system. Instead of struggling alone through deprivation, let us help you achieve your goals by restoring your body's natural harmony.
