Treatment Overview
The Korean Herbal Obesity Management Program in Korea is a physician-supervised, traditional herbal therapy designed to support safe and effective weight loss. This program integrates evidence-based herbal medicine with modern metabolic and nutritional assessment to target fat reduction, improve digestion, regulate metabolism, and balance hormones naturally.
Korean obesity clinics combine traditional herbal formulations with advanced diagnostics—such as body composition analysis (InBody/DEXA), resting metabolic rate (RMR) testing, and blood panels—to personalize treatment. Herbal prescriptions are tailored to each patient’s metabolic profile, body constitution, and specific weight-loss goals, ensuring safety and effectiveness.
Korea’s herbal obesity management programs integrate:
- Personalized Korean herbal formulations for fat metabolism and appetite regulation
- Physician-guided prescriptions based on metabolic, hormonal, and body composition assessments
- Body composition monitoring to track fat loss and lean mass preservation
- Integration with dietary, exercise, and behavioral counseling
- AI-assisted monitoring of weight-loss progress and metabolic response
- Optional combination with modern medical therapies, including GLP-1 or fat-burning injections
This integrative approach promotes natural fat loss, enhances metabolic function, and supports long-term weight management.
