Q. How do other patients usually go about this? I'm curious about the typical process and your experiences with remote prescriptions.

Many of our patients seek remote management because their busy professional lives make frequent clinic visits difficult. The process begins with an initial in-person visit for an accurate assessment of your health through body composition analysis and pulse diagnosis (Jin-maek). Following this, we monitor your response to the medication and adjust the prescription based on your condition via phone or messenger. In Traditional Korean Medicine (TKM), the focus is not simply on eating less, but on first clearing metabolic waste from the body. If there is a presence of Eohyeol (瘀血, blood stasis) or Dameum (痰飮, abnormal fluid retention) blocking the circulation of Qi and Blood, weight loss becomes inefficient regardless of caloric restriction. In particular, those with Bi-heo (脾虛, Spleen deficiency/impaired digestive function) may experience fatigue or dizziness if they attempt an overly restrictive diet. Therefore, I focus on finding a 'sustainable pace' rather than 'maximum speed.' Since metabolic capacities vary greatly between individuals, some require a gentle start, while others need intensive support to break through weight-loss plateaus. Remote care does not mean standardized medicine; it is a process of continuous communication and tracking of individual responses. Please think of it as a collaborative journey where we carefully monitor the signals your body is sending.
