Who This Is For

Q. I don't live in Busan. Who would benefit most from your non-face-to-face diet herbal medicine prescriptions?

A.

Having experienced the toll of skipping meals due to a busy schedule myself, I understand your struggle. I highly recommend this for those who need a customized approach rather than blind fasting—especially if you struggle with appetite control or need to recover your vitality after losing too much energy from conventional weight-loss medications.

📝 Detailed Answer

Strong or aggressive medication is not always the answer for weight loss. Through my own clinical experience and study, I've found that the core of sustainable weight loss is 'balance.' Even in a non-face-to-face setting, I focus on two critical physiological points. First, I look for patients with a sluggish metabolism caused by the accumulation of metabolic waste, known in Traditional Korean Medicine as 'Dameum' (phlegm-fluid retention). When unnecessary fluids and waste stagnate in the body, you may feel that weight loss is impossible regardless of effort. For these patients, a prescription to activate metabolism is the priority. Second, I address those who lack the energy to even begin a diet. This often stems from 'Bi-heo' (Spleen Deficiency), where weakened digestive functions hinder proper nutrient absorption. Simply suppressing appetite in this state leads to rapid exhaustion and the 'yo-yo effect.' Strengthening the Spleen function is essential for maintaining health after weight loss. Additionally, I recommend prescriptions for those suffering from 'Eo-hyeol' (blood stasis), where blood circulation is stagnant. If your body constantly feels heavy and swollen, improving blood flow is far more efficient than merely reducing calories. Ultimately, the starting point is understanding exactly why your body is resisting weight loss. Through a detailed non-face-to-face consultation regarding your current symptoms and condition, I will provide an optimized prescription tailored to your specific needs.
