Q. What is the typical process other patients go through? I'm curious about actual cases.

To give you some examples: patients who binge eat due to workplace stress often suffer from 'Dam-eum' (phlegm-fluid retention), where accumulated metabolic waste blocks the circulation of Qi and Blood. For these individuals, we don't simply cut calories; we first clear the internal waste to 'wake up' the metabolic engine. Conversely, those with weak digestion and chronic fatigue often present with 'Bi-heo' (Spleen Deficiency). When the Spleen is weak, nutrients aren't absorbed or transported efficiently. Using strong appetite suppressants in this case only depletes their energy further, leading to a inevitable yo-yo effect. Therefore, I recommend a protocol that replenishes vital energy while naturally managing appetite. For patients with severe edema following an old injury or surgery, the cause may be 'Eo-hyeol' (blood stasis)—stagnant, poor-quality blood that obstructs circulation. In such cases, a prescription to promote blood flow is essential to help the body feel lighter. While these examples may not apply to everyone, the key is identifying why your body has become prone to weight gain. Having experienced failed attempts myself, I know that mere willpower and endurance are not the answer. I invite you to visit us so we can examine your specific condition together.
