Q. I'm aiming for around 25% body fat. What methods do you recommend at a Traditional Korean Medicine (TKM) clinic?

Many people attempt extreme calorie restriction, which often leads to brain fog and the inevitable 'yo-yo' effect. The true strength of a TKM-based diet lies in 'functional recovery.' Instead of simply eating less, we focus on improving a state of Spleen Deficiency (Bi-heo), which restores digestive absorption and energy metabolism. This naturally manages appetite and eliminates Dam-eum (phlegm-fluid retention), reducing edema and refining body contours. There are, however, a few considerations. Those sensitive to certain herbal ingredients may initially experience palpitations or insomnia. Additionally, it takes some time to precisely calibrate the herbal formula to your body's unique responses, which may require a bit of patience. Our approach is not about a one-size-fits-all 'correct answer,' but about personalization. For some, clearing Eo-hyeol (blood stasis) is the prerequisite for weight loss; for others, replenishing vital energy (Qi) is necessary to restart the metabolism. We recommend a comprehensive assessment of your current state to determine the healthiest pace for your journey, ensuring you reach your goal without burning out.
