Q. I live in Yangsan. Who would you recommend for telemedicine weight loss herbal medicine prescriptions?

While the commute from Yangsan to Busan may seem manageable, the reality of rush hour traffic makes a physical clinic visit quite taxing. In my experience, 'inconvenience' is often the biggest obstacle to weight loss success. I specifically recommend telemedicine for patients with certain patterns. First are those with Spleen Qi Deficiency (Biheo); when the Spleen function is weak, you lack energy even with minimal movement, and weight loss becomes difficult. In this case, tonifying Qi to boost metabolism is far more effective than forced exercise. Telemedicine is also ideal for those suffering from Phlegm-fluid (Dameum), characterized by chronic bloating and a heavy sensation due to metabolic waste—a common issue for sedentary office workers. Lastly, we address Blood Stasis (Eohyeol), where poor circulation leads to cold extremities and lower-body weight gain. Telemedicine does not mean a simplified diagnosis; rather, it involves a thorough medical inquiry (Mun-jin) to identify your body's weakest links and find a personalized solution for sustainable health.
