Q. Diet trends like 'tuna ssamjang' are popular these days. How does your clinic help with dietary management?

I've personally experienced the discomfort of blindly following trendy diets, so I understand the frustration of trial and error. While healthy options like tuna ssamjang are great, the most critical factor is your body's current physiological state. In Traditional Korean Medicine (TKM), we approach dietary guidance through the following systematic stages: 1. Assessment of Constitution and Digestion: For those with Spleen Deficiency (Bi-heo), a sudden shift to a high-protein diet can lead to bloating, gas, or dizziness. 2. Clearing Phlegm-Fluid (Dam-eum): We first focus on removing accumulated metabolic waste. If metabolism is stagnant, even the healthiest foods may not be absorbed properly and can contribute to weight gain. 3. Resolving Blood Stasis (Eo-hyeol): By improving blood circulation, we ensure energy is distributed throughout the body, which helps prevent the lethargy often associated with calorie restriction. 4. Personalized Adaptation: Once the body is primed, we integrate preferred meals (such as tuna ssamjang) by modifying them to fit your specific constitution. 5. Establishing Sustainable Habits: Extreme restriction inevitably leads to the 'yo-yo effect.' Having experienced this myself, I will help you find a sustainable portion size that you can maintain for a lifetime. Trendy diets are not a one-size-fits-all answer. Whether your body is prepared to process those foods is what truly matters. When you visit, we will accurately diagnose your current state to create the right plan for you.
