When starting weight management from InBody or body-fat-percentage results, how does a Korean-medicine clinic approach it?
First check what the InBody or body-fat measure represents and how it was taken, then consider diet, activity, sleep, and symptoms together. Herbal medicine is adjusted as an adjunct according to history, medicines, and response.
First clarify the meaning of the InBody and body-fat results and the measurement conditions. A single number cannot establish the cause of body fat or your health status, so consider weight changes along with diet, sleep, and activity.
Korean medicine may describe reduced digestion and energy as piheo (脾虛), swelling and heaviness as dam-eum (痰飮), and circulatory discomfort as eohyeol (瘀血). These are clinical ways to describe a current state; herbal medicine does not guarantee lower body fat or improved metabolism.
Care can review goals, history, medicines, dietary responses, and feasible activity to set and adjust a practical plan. Use body-fat percentage as a reference, and tell the prescribing clinic if palpitations, insomnia, or marked bloating occur so the plan can be reassessed.
