I have personally tried indiscriminate fasting in the past, and I remember feeling dizzy and seeing a sharp drop in my work productivity. From that experience, I learned that the most important factor is 'sustainability.' The advantage of Traditional Korean Medicine (TKM) diet programs is that they compensate for your body's specific weaknesses. For those with Spleen Deficiency (Bi-heo), where weakened spleen function leads to poor digestion, we use prescriptions that support metabolic processes. By first clearing out accumulated waste such as Phlegm-fluid (Dam-eum) or stagnant blood known as Blood Stasis (Eo-hyeol), the body feels significantly lighter. It is a process of changing the body's internal environment rather than simply cutting calories. Of course, there are drawbacks. Some find the bitter taste of herbal medicine challenging, and depending on your constitution, you may experience initial reactions such as palpitations or insomnia. Because TKM focuses on transforming the overall constitution rather than producing the immediate numerical shifts seen with some synthetic drugs, those seeking instant results may find it frustrating. The key is not which method is 'better,' but 'what fits my current state.' If you suppress appetite while your vital energy is already depleted, it can damage your health. Even as a practitioner, I see that the answer differs for every case. I invite you to visit the clinic so we can examine your current physical condition together.
