Not only depression, but also severe obesity can be difficult to resolve with willpower alone. We recommend viewing it as a health condition and considering support through Korean medicine.

If you have severe obesity that is difficult to reduce with diet and exercise alone, it may be helpful to actively manage it while restoring overall hormonal balance.
CONSTITUTION TEST
1:1 Personalized Constitution Test
TEST 01Iris Genetic Constitution Test
We comprehensively assess genetic strengths and weaknesses, constitution, autonomic nervous system balance, toxin distribution, vascular aging, and more to look for the causes of obesity.
TEST 02HRV Autonomic Nervous System Test
We check the activity and balance of the sympathetic and parasympathetic nerves. Autonomic nervous system imbalance can slow organ movement and make the body more sensitive.

Using InBody S10, we analyze body fat percentage, muscle loss status, whole-body balance, visceral fat, and body water (edema) to set weight loss goals.
TEST 04Cellular Health Immunity Test
Using phase angle, we analyze overall nutritional status to decide whether to prioritize functional recovery or weight loss.
