How does the weight loss program actually work here? I'd love to hear from people who have received herbal prescriptions.

Many patients start with doubts about whether they can truly lose weight. Rather than promoting extreme fasting, which often leads to burnout, we first analyze your current metabolic state. We then tailor your herbal prescriptions to ensure your body utilizes energy efficiently, working closely with you to adjust the treatment based on your unique constitution.

In clinical practice, I generally see two types of patients. Some blame a 'lack of willpower,' but often they are suffering from 'Spleen Deficiency (Bi-heo),' where impaired digestive and absorptive functions lead to a lack of vital energy. They aren't lazy; they are physically exhausted. Others suffer from 'Phlegm-Fluid (Dam-eum),' where accumulated metabolic waste causes chronic heaviness and edema. Through my experience, I've learned that simply suppressing appetite is not the solution. For instance, if 'Blood Stasis (Eo-hyeol)'—stagnant blood—is present, circulation is blocked, making weight loss feel impossible regardless of caloric restriction. Therefore, I do not simply tell patients to 'take medicine and starve.' Instead, I focus on promoting the circulation of Qi and Blood and eliminating waste to improve the body's overall efficiency. Since every individual is different, some may need dietary adjustments first, while others require improved sleep quality. The starting point is an accurate understanding of your body's current state. I invite you to visit the clinic so we can diagnose your condition and find the most effective path tailored specifically to you.
