Treatment Overview
The Obesity Hormone Balance Program in Korea is a physician-supervised weight management program focused on correcting hormonal imbalances that contribute to obesity. Hormones such as leptin, ghrelin, insulin, cortisol, and thyroid hormones play a critical role in regulating appetite, metabolism, fat storage, and energy expenditure. By addressing these imbalances, Korean clinics help patients achieve sustainable weight loss, improve metabolic function, and enhance overall health.
The program combines advanced diagnostics, including body composition analysis (InBody/DEXA), resting metabolic rate (RMR) testing, and comprehensive hormonal panels. Personalized interventions may include dietary modification, lifestyle counseling, medical therapies (e.g., GLP-1, fat-burning injections), and behavioral coaching. AI-assisted tracking helps ensure precise adjustments and optimal outcomes.
Korea’s Obesity Hormone Balance programs integrate:
- Comprehensive hormone assessment and metabolic profiling
- Personalized dietary and lifestyle interventions based on hormonal status
- Physician-guided medical therapies for appetite or metabolism regulation
- Behavioral coaching to reinforce sustainable habits
- Body composition monitoring to track fat loss and lean mass preservation
- AI-assisted tracking for adaptive program management
- Optional combination with GLP-1 therapy, fat-burning injections, or metabolic reset
This approach targets the hormonal root causes of obesity to support natural appetite control, enhanced metabolism, and sustainable fat loss.
