📝 Detailed Answer
I understand the desire for convenience, especially when you are overwhelmed with work, which is why I have meticulously refined my telemedicine system. I recommend this approach to two main groups: first, those with severe time constraints, such as residents of Dangjin who struggle to match clinic hours with their commute. In such cases, online consultations and medical questionnaires are sufficient to determine the treatment direction.
Second, I recommend it for those whose bodies are exhausted from repeated dieting. Excessive fasting or reliance on strong stimulants often leads to Spleen Deficiency (脾虛), where digestive functions decline, causing bloating and lethargy even after small meals. My core role is to analyze this state and prescribe medicine tailored to your specific constitution.
In Traditional Korean Medicine, weight gain is not viewed simply as a result of overeating. Rather, it is seen as a blockage in circulation caused by Phlegm-Fluid (痰飮), which is metabolic waste, and Blood Stasis (瘀血), which is stagnant blood. These constitutional traits can be effectively identified through telemedicine. However, for your safety, I recommend a physical visit if you have underlying conditions such as hypertension or diabetes. Ultimately, dieting is not just about 'how much you lost,' but 'how you manage your body's health.' Please let me know your current situation, and we will find the most comfortable path forward together.
