Q. My InBody results show that my abdominal fat percentage is too high. How does the clinic help me manage this?

I remember a time during my studies when I stayed up all night and relied on late-night snacks, which left me with a protruding belly. I truly understand that feeling of frustration and sluggishness. I learned through my own trial and error that extreme fasting can actually backfire; the body perceives it as an emergency and holds onto fat even more tightly. At Baengnokdam Clinic, we follow a systematic approach to help you: First, we remove factors that hinder circulation, such as Eohyeol (瘀血, stagnant blood) and Dameum (痰飮, accumulated fluid/phlegm). Forcing weight loss while these pathways are blocked can put undue stress on your body. Next, we normalize your digestion and absorption. In TKM, this is often viewed as 'Spleen Deficiency' (脾虛). When the Spleen function is weak, nutrients are not efficiently converted into energy and are instead more likely to be stored as fat. We will focus on strengthening this area first. Then, we 'flip the metabolic switch.' Through constitution-specific herbal medicine, we increase your basal metabolic rate, creating an efficient body that burns energy even at rest. Finally, we optimize your daily rhythms. We will look at your life patterns, such as sleep schedules and meal intervals. Finding sustainable habits is far more important than following an overly restrictive plan. Ultimately, this is a process of answering the question, 'Why did fat accumulate specifically in my abdomen?' When you approach management with a precise understanding of your body's state, the process becomes much easier and more effective.
