When you visit the clinic, we first assess your overall health status. Rather than focusing solely on weight, we evaluate the presence of 'Dameum' (phlegm-fluid retention) and 'Eo-hyeol' (blood stasis)—metabolic waste products that, if accumulated, slow down metabolism and lead to weight loss plateaus. For instance, patients with 'Bi-heo' (Spleen Deficiency) often suffer from weak digestion and chronic fatigue. If we prescribe overly potent herbs to these individuals, they may experience an extreme drop in energy and give up on their diet. Having encountered similar trial-and-error during my own studies, I emphasize a personalized approach. At Baekrokdam, we adjust the concentration of medicinal herbs based on your energy levels. Our goal is to reduce edema and boost basal metabolism alongside appetite control to minimize the risk of the 'yo-yo effect' (weight regain). While herbal medicine is not a magic cure-all, correcting internal imbalances allows you to manage your weight much more comfortably. We will work together to find the most sustainable path for your body.
