I see a lot of remote prescriptions for herbal weight loss medicine these days. Is there really a difference between that and visiting a clinic in person?

In my early years as a practitioner, I thought high-quality herbs were everything. However, experience taught me that the causes of weight gain vary greatly for every individual. Some patients struggle because of 'Dameum' (phlegm-fluid retention/metabolic waste), while others face weight loss plateaus due to 'Eo-hyeol' (blood stasis/poor circulation). For instance, if a patient with 'Bi-heo' (Spleen deficiency/weak digestive function) is given an overly potent formula, they may experience a drop in overall energy rather than weight loss. Remote consultations are a rational choice for those who are well-aware of their physical constitution or are in a weight maintenance phase. However, if you have a history of repeated diet failure or are physically sensitive due to side effects from Western medicine, I strongly recommend an in-person visit. A single pulse beat or a subtle change in skin tone tells me whether you need to 'boost your metabolism' or 'reduce internal inflammation.' After over a decade in the clinic, I've realized that true weight loss begins with 'accurately knowing oneself.' Please visit whenever you are available, and let's resolve this together.
