Q. I'd like to get a prescription for weight loss herbal medicine via telemedicine. Will it be effective for someone like me? Who do you recommend this for?

A.

Rather than extreme fasting, which can lead to dizziness and fatigue, a tailored prescription based on your body condition is essential. Telemedicine is highly recommended for busy professionals who struggle to visit the clinic in person or those who experience severe energy loss during weight loss. However, if you have underlying medical conditions or a complex health status, an in-person visit for a thorough examination is safer.

📝 Detailed Answer

Most people approach dieting with the simple logic of 'eat less, move more.' However, neglecting your body's internal balance often leads to the 'yo-yo effect' and overall health decline. That is why I customize prescriptions based on the patient's constitution and current physiological state. For those with 'Spleen Deficiency' (Bi-heo, 脾虛), characterized by poor digestive function and easy fatigue, I recommend a formula that boosts vitality while enhancing metabolism. Conversely, for those with an accumulation of 'Phlegm-Fluid' (Dam-eum, 痰飮)—unnecessary moisture and metabolic waste that make the body feel heavy—the priority is a prescription that aids in detoxification and excretion. If these symptoms are accompanied by 'Blood Stasis' (Eo-hyeol, 瘀血), where stagnant blood circulation causes swelling and heaviness, I incorporate medicinal herbs that improve blood flow. This constitution-based approach ensures weight loss is achieved with minimal strain on the body. Telemedicine prescriptions are conducted based on detailed consultations of these symptoms. However, I strongly advise an in-person visit for patients with underlying conditions such as thyroid disorders, those who have experienced side effects from other weight loss medications, or those who require precise Traditional Korean Medicine diagnostics, such as pulse diagnosis (Maek-jin) and tongue diagnosis (Seol-jin), for maximum safety and efficacy.
