📝 Detailed Answer
Many people experience the frustration of chasing a specific body fat percentage, often resorting to extreme fasting that leads to dizziness and decreased productivity. The true strength of a Traditional Korean Medicine (TKM) diet lies in 'individualized customization.' Instead of simply reducing weight, we focus on clearing 'Dameum' (痰飮, abnormal fluid retention) and 'Eohyeol' (瘀血, blood stasis)—metabolic wastes that hinder circulation. By resolving these, we improve overall metabolic efficiency, allowing your body to burn calories more effectively even with the same food intake.
However, there are considerations. Strong metabolic stimulants in certain herbal formulas may cause heart palpitations or insomnia in some patients. Additionally, those with 'Bi-heo' (脾虛, deficiency of the Spleen/digestive function) may experience bloating or a significant drop in energy if they take potent medicines without proper adjustment.
Therefore, I recommend using numerical data as a 'map' and your body's symptoms as a 'compass.' Body fat percentage should be a reference, while the core focus remains on the pace and direction your body can realistically sustain. During your visit, we will evaluate your current metabolic capacity and determine the most suitable medicinal herbs for your constitution.
