Q. I want to focus on losing weight for about a month. How does the program work?
We provide a phased program that increases basal metabolism and regulates appetite through customized herbal medicine based on an individual's constitutional analysis.
📝 Detailed Answer
It is common to feel rushed when you have a sudden schedule or an important event approaching. I understand that urgency. However, simply starving yourself can trigger a 'survival mode' in the body, making you more prone to gaining weight more easily in the future.
In Traditional Korean Medicine (TKM), we believe that rather than just eating less, we must first resolve Dam-jeok (痰積)—the accumulation of metabolic waste and phlegm that stagnates metabolism. Especially if you are in a state of Bi-heo (脾虛), or spleen deficiency leading to weak digestive function, excessive dietary restriction can actually be counterproductive.
💡 Intensive Management Goal
The goal is not forced fasting, but to flip the body's 'metabolic switch' to create a physique that consumes energy efficiently.
- Week 1: Adaptation period focused on constitutional diagnosis and the discharge of Eo-hyeol (瘀血) (blood stasis) and accumulated waste.
- Weeks 2-3: Intensive weight loss period using customized herbal medicine to suppress appetite and increase the basal metabolic rate.
- Week 4: Stabilization period to prevent physical strain caused by rapid change and to secure a sustainable maintenance weight.
Therefore, we do not simply provide 'medicine'; we will meticulously adjust your prescription by monitoring your current digestive state and overall energy levels.
