I have personally experienced the frustration of extreme fasting, which only led to dizziness, headaches, and the dreaded yo-yo effect. Through that experience, I learned that instead of applying the most aggressive method, the key is finding a sustainable pace that your body can actually handle. The greatest advantage of TKM weight loss is 'individualized customization.' We diagnose whether you are suffering from Spleen Deficiency (脾虛)—where poor digestion leads to weight gain—or if your metabolism is sluggish due to a general lack of vital energy. By clearing 'Dam-eum' (phlegm-fluid retention) and 'Eohyeol' (blood stasis), many patients report that their bodies feel significantly lighter. Of course, there are challenges. Those sensitive to the bitter taste or strong aroma of herbal medicine may find the first few days difficult. Additionally, combining acupuncture and Chuna therapy increases the frequency of clinic visits, which can be a burden for busy professionals—a point I am always mindful of during consultations. Ultimately, it is not about which treatment is 'better,' but which one is 'right for you' at this moment. For those who have experienced extreme fatigue or digestive issues after using pharmaceutical weight-loss drugs like Wegovy or Saxenda, internal systemic regulation is even more critical. The best path forward is to visit the clinic for a consultation. Together, we will examine your current physical state, identify where your circulation is blocked, and find the optimal treatment combination for you.
