Q. There are so many different weight loss supplements for men on the market; which ones do you recommend, Doctor?

I've actually been there myself—trying to lose weight by fasting blindly out of pure ambition. I ended up feeling dizzy and couldn't focus on my work, which made me realize that this approach was wrong. I spent a long time making that mistake. Supplements certainly have their advantages: they are easy to purchase and provide a sense of psychological security that you are 'actively managing' your weight. However, the downside is clear. They are 'general-purpose' products that do not account for why your specific body gains weight or where your internal energy is blocked. Traditional Korean Medicine (TKM) does not simply focus on reducing calories. We prioritize clearing out 'Dameum' (phlegm-fluid retention), which are metabolic waste products, and 'Eohyeol' (blood stasis), which obstructs blood circulation. In particular, those with 'Bi-heo' (Spleen Deficiency)—meaning impaired digestive and transformative functions—may experience bloating and extreme fatigue if they take potent supplements indiscriminately. The bottom line is that 'every person is different.' A person with high muscle mass but severe edema requires a completely different prescription than someone with a very low basal metabolic rate who gains weight even with minimal intake. First, check if your body's 'engine' is running properly. When you add a prescription tailored to your unique constitution on top of that, you can achieve a healthy weight loss without the yo-yo effect.
