Real Patient Cases
Q. This is my first time considering a Traditional Korean Medicine weight loss program. What kind of concerns do your patients typically have, and are there cases like mine?
A.
Most of our patients are office workers in their 30s to 50s who are exhausted from the side effects of diet pills or extreme starvation. Many struggle with 'false hunger' caused by stress or have constitutions prone to frequent bloating and edema. Rather than simply skipping meals, we focus on identifying the 'obstacles' hindering your internal circulation. Since everyone has a unique innate constitution, our approach is personalized to address the root cause of your weight gain.
📝 Detailed Answer
If weight loss were as simple as 'eat less and move more,' no one would be struggling. Patients at our clinic generally fall into two categories. The first group consists of stressed office workers whose 'Heart-Fire' (Sim-hwa) stimulates the stomach, creating persistent 'false hunger.' In these cases, we prioritize cooling this internal heat and calming the mind rather than just suppressing appetite. The second group includes those who feel heavy and bloated due to 'Spleen Deficiency' (Bi-heo), leading to the accumulation of 'Phlegm-fluid' (Dam-eum) or metabolic waste. When metabolism drops this way, you gain weight even with a normal diet. Here, we boost vital energy (Qi) to help the body discharge these wastes. Since every individual has a different innate constitution and health status, we don't offer a one-size-fits-all solution. Our goal is to find the specific reason why you haven't been able to lose weight and restore your body’s natural balance.
