📝 Detailed Answer
Many patients come to the clinic feeling distressed, asking, 'Why am I the only one not losing weight when everyone else is?' However, it is perfectly natural for responses to vary based on one's physiological state. For instance, those with 'Bi-heo' (Spleen Deficiency/weak digestive function) may feel rapidly exhausted if their appetite is suppressed too aggressively. Having experienced the struggle of over-ambitious dieting myself, I truly understand that feeling.
Additionally, patients with significant 'Dam-eum' (phlegm-fluid retention) or 'Eohyeol' (blood stasis/blood congestion) may initially feel heaviness or swelling. While this can be a sign of the body detoxifying, it can also be a warning that the prescription does not suit their constitution.
The most important factor is not other people's reviews, but how your own body responds. If you have suffered from yo-yo effects or side effects from Western pharmaceutical weight-loss drugs like Saxenda, a more meticulous approach is required. Rather than focusing solely on the numbers on the scale, we must monitor your overall condition. I encourage you to visit the clinic so we can accurately assess your current state and determine the most appropriate prescription for you.
