📝 Detailed Answer
As a practitioner of Traditional Korean Medicine, I understand that it is difficult to maintain a perfect diet. I have experienced the cycle of late-night snacking and regret myself, so I truly empathize with my patients. Based on TKM principles, I generally recommend this approach for three specific types of constitutions:
First is the 'Dam-eum' (痰飮, Phlegm-fluid) type. These individuals often feel bloated and chronically fatigued because their fluid metabolism is impaired, leading to the accumulation of metabolic waste. If your weight remains stagnant despite exercise and your limbs feel heavy every morning, a remote consultation can help identify a prescription to clear this 'Dam-eum' and jumpstart your metabolism.
Second is the 'Bi-heo' (脾虛, Spleen Deficiency) type. This refers to those who have little energy and a protruding abdomen even if they don't eat much. In TKM, the Spleen is the 'energy factory' of the body; if it is weak, the factory stops. For these patients, starving is counterproductive and harmful. They require herbal medicine that tonifies their energy while assisting in fat oxidation.
Third is the 'Eo-hyeol' (瘀血, Blood Stasis) type, frequently seen in office workers in their 30s to 50s. Stress causes the circulation of Qi and Blood to become stagnant. When this circulation is blocked, the body resists weight loss. We must first clear this stagnation to allow the weight loss process to begin.
Remote medical consultations are conducted with great care. By meticulously analyzing whether you fall into the Dam-eum or Bi-heo category, we can provide a personalized prescription that brings you one step closer to healthy, sustainable weight loss.
