My InBody results show a high abdominal fat percentage. I don't think exercise alone will be enough—what methods do you recommend?

A high abdominal fat rate is a common concern, and I empathize with the struggle. Traditional Korean Medicine (TKM) weight loss programs are effective because they boost metabolic function based on your unique constitution. While taking herbal medicine consistently requires effort, success comes from finding a treatment plan that fits naturally into your daily lifestyle.

Seeing high abdominal fat figures on an InBody report can be quite discouraging. Many patients seek TKM when exercise alone isn't yielding the desired results. TKM weight loss focuses on fundamental circulation rather than simple calorie restriction. We aim to expel metabolic waste accumulated due to 'Spleen Deficiency' (Biheo). By resolving 'Phlegm-retention' (Dameum) and 'Blood Stasis' (Eohyeol)—internal impurities that hinder circulation—your body becomes more metabolically efficient. Tailoring the prescription to your constitution also helps prevent the fatigue often associated with dieting. However, there are considerations: the distinct taste of herbal medicine may take time to get used to, and as your metabolism speeds up, you might experience temporary palpitations or a dry mouth. It is also vital to maintain a proper diet alongside the treatment. The best approach is to accurately assess your current health; if your energy is depleted, a restrictive approach won't work. The most effective path is identifying your body's weak points through a consultation and following a personalized, step-by-step treatment plan.
