Q. My InBody results show a very high abdominal fat percentage. How does a Korean medicine clinic help manage this?

Many people try to lose weight through sheer willpower and extreme fasting, but this often leads to exhaustion without significant fat loss. A more systematic approach is required. In Traditional Korean Medicine (TKM), abdominal obesity is addressed through the following framework: 1. Identifying Metabolic Stagnation: We examine whether there is an accumulation of 'Dam-eum' (痰飮), which refers to accumulated metabolic waste. If Dam-eum is prevalent, weight loss becomes difficult regardless of caloric restriction. 2. Improving Digestive Absorption: If you suffer from 'Bi-heo' (脾虛), or a deficiency in the Spleen function, nutrients are not efficiently converted into energy and are instead stored as fat. We first restore this functional capacity. 3. Promoting Blood Circulation: We resolve 'Eo-hyeol' (瘀血), or stagnant blood, to enhance overall circulation. Improved blood flow is essential for increasing the efficiency of fat oxidation. 4. Customized Herbal Prescription: We design a personalized herbal formula to supplement deficient Qi (vital energy) and eliminate excess waste products. 5. Lifestyle Modification: Rather than prescribing grueling exercise, we determine an activity level that is sustainable and appropriate for your current physical strength. Ultimately, our goal is to answer the question: 'Why is my body persistently storing fat?' Instead of forced weight loss, we strive to restore the body's internal balance so that you naturally develop a physique that resists fat accumulation.
