Q. With weight loss medications like Saxenda and Wegovy being so popular lately, why do you, as a Korean Medicine doctor, specifically recommend herbal weight loss treatments?
Western medications and herbal treatments differ fundamentally in their approach. While Western drugs forcefully suppress appetite—often causing fatigue or dizziness—herbal medicine focuses on treating Spleen Qi Deficiency (Biheo) to boost energy and enhance metabolism. We recommend it because it goes beyond mere calorie restriction to fundamentally transform your constitution into one that resists weight gain.
