Q. I see a lot of remote weight loss prescriptions these days. How is it different from visiting your clinic in Ansan for an in-person consultation?

Over my 10 years of practice, I’ve frequently been asked if I can prescribe medicine over the phone. Honestly, it would be easier for me too. However, it is challenging to accurately identify conditions like Dameum (痰飮, phlegm-fluid retention) or Bi-heo (脾虛, Spleen deficiency)—where a weak digestive system hinders circulation—solely through a voice on a receiver. In the past, I’ve had the painful experience of prescribing based on guesswork, which caused the patient unnecessary struggle. This is why I strive to be more meticulous, even if it requires a bit more effort from you. Herbal weight loss medicine isn't just about suppressing appetite; it's a process of fundamentally restoring a broken metabolic system. When you visit the clinic, we go beyond standard body composition tests. I can perform Mang-jin (望診, inspection) and Jeol-jin (切診, palpation/pulse diagnosis) to create a much more detailed, personalized prescription. [Comparison Table] 1. Convenience: Remote is high (no travel); In-person requires a visit. 2. Diagnosis: Remote relies on surveys/calls; In-person includes pulse, tongue, and body composition analysis. 3. Customization: Remote uses standardized prescriptions; In-person provides precision prescriptions based on individual constitution. 4. Side Effects: Remote has limits in real-time physical monitoring; In-person allows for precise, direct dosage adjustment. 5. Reliability: Remote may lack depth; In-person allows for direct verification of physical changes. Of course, for those who are too busy to breathe, remote services are a decent start. But if you are tired of repeated failures and have decided "this is the last time," please visit us in Ansan. I will sit down with you to find the answer to why your body specifically struggles to lose weight.
