I'm thinking about trying those popular weight-loss injections like Wegovy. From a TKM doctor's perspective, which method would you recommend?

To be honest, I've tried various diets myself in the past. I remember feeling dizzy and completely drained of energy, which made me realize that a reckless approach doesn't work. Because of that experience, I truly empathize with your dilemma. Injectable medications are undeniably effective at quickly suppressing appetite, which can be a huge help when willpower is low. However, the drawbacks are clear: gastrointestinal side effects are common, and the 'yo-yo effect'—where weight returns immediately after stopping the medication—is a significant concern. On the other hand, Traditional Korean Medicine (TKM) focuses on the 'foundation' of your body. We aim to remove 'Dameum' (痰飮, accumulated metabolic waste/phlegm-fluid) and strengthen the 'Spleen Deficiency' (脾虛) state, where a weakened digestive system leads to a sluggish metabolism. By improving these internal functions, you can feel your body becoming lighter without the need for extreme starvation. Admittedly, herbal medicine may not provide that immediate, 'sharp' drop in appetite that injections do. Depending on your constitution, there may be an adaptation period, which some patients find frustrating. It is difficult to say definitively which is 'better.' However, if your digestive power is currently very weak or if your energy levels are completely depleted from repeated dieting, TKM is a much safer and more sustainable choice. I suggest visiting the clinic so we can assess your body's condition together before you decide.
