I have personally experienced the frustration of trying to lose weight through extreme fasting, only to end up dizzy and exhausted. That experience taught me that instead of rushing to lose weight at any cost, we must first understand the state of the body. First, for those who struggle with appetite control and feel as though their body is 'sinking' or heavy, I recommend herbal prescriptions. In Traditional Korean Medicine (TKM), this is often attributed to 'Dameum' (痰飮, phlegm-fluid retention), where accumulated waste and excess fluids block metabolism. In these cases, we focus on boosting metabolic rate and eliminating these waste products. Conversely, some patients suffer from poor digestion and fatigue even after minimal exertion. This is often a sign of 'Bi-heo' (脾虛, Spleen deficiency). If we forcefully suppress the appetite in such patients, it can further damage their health. Therefore, we use prescriptions that replenish vital energy (Qi) to naturally induce a healthier metabolic flow. Lastly, for those who feel their circulation is blocked and their body feels sluggish as their weight fluctuates, we must address 'Eohyeol' (瘀血, blood stasis). When blood flow is stagnant, weight loss becomes significantly more difficult in those specific areas. This is why, even in a telemedicine setting, I ask detailed questions about your constitution. My goal is not simply to provide medication, but to determine whether your body currently needs to 'push out' waste or 'replenish' essential energy.
