02PROGRAM GOALS

Why weight gain is more common during menopause

The Menopause Diet Program is needed not only for appearance, but also for health. Diet programs for women in their 40s and 50s need to be different.

Why weight gain is more common during menopause
  • 01

    Decreased Basal Metabolic Rate

    In midlife, basal metabolic rate decreases, leaving more unused calories, and weight can increase more easily.

  • 02

    Decline in Female Hormones

    When female hormone secretion decreases during menopause, fat tends to gather in the abdomen, increasing the possibility of abdominal obesity.

  • 03

    Vascular Health Risk

    When fat accumulates due to hormonal imbalance after menopause, fat can also build up in the blood vessels. Because the risk of high blood pressure, diabetes, and hyperlipidemia increases, weight management is also needed for health.

03PROGRAM GOALS

Menopausal symptoms can get in the way of weight loss

Menopausal syndrome, obesity, and metabolic syndrome are intertwined as both causes and results. That is why treating menopausal symptoms together can make weight loss easier.

  • 01

    Menopausal Hot Sensation

    When facial flushing, hot sensations, and sweating are severe, taking strong diet medications indiscriminately can be hard for the body to tolerate. Herbal medicine and Placenta Pharmacopuncture are needed to help stabilize the autonomic nervous system and replenish deficient jin-ye (津液: body fluids that moisten the body).

  • 02

    Menopausal Hwabyeong (Anger Syndrome)

    Women in their 40s and 50s who care for both parents and children are under significant stress. Hwabyeong-related stress stimulates cortisol secretion, which can increase appetite and lead to visceral fat accumulation. We help relieve stress with herbal medicine, acupuncture, and moxibustion to help prevent binge eating.

  • 03

    Menopausal Insomnia

    If you wake up often due to hot sensations, sweating, or frequent urination, your daily rhythm can be disrupted and the secretion of appetite-regulating hormones can become unbalanced. We prescribe herbal medicine to help calm the mind and body and support blood flow circulation.

Symptoms that may appear together

  • Joint pain
  • Forgetfulness
  • Palpitations

CONSTITUTION TEST

1:1 Personalized Constitution Test

  • Iris Genetic Constitution Test
    TEST 01

    Iris 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.

  • HRV Autonomic Nervous System Test
    TEST 02

    HRV 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.

  • Detailed Body Composition Analysis
    TEST 03

    Detailed Body Composition Analysis

    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.

  • Cellular Health Immunity Test
    TEST 04

    Cellular Health Immunity Test

    Using phase angle, we analyze overall nutritional status to decide whether to prioritize functional recovery or weight loss.

04PROGRAM

Personalized Menopause Program Components

Our goal is a healthy diet program that helps reduce yo-yo weight regain and supports long-term maintenance. We combine Hoechundang traditional prescriptions with standard diet treatments based on each individual.

One-on-One Personalized Bigam Detox Decoction
01

One-on-One Personalized Bigam Detox Decoction

During menopause, fasting indiscriminately or only suppressing appetite can make the body feel more depleted. This prescription supports decreased metabolism and circulation to help with body fat breakdown, and reduces edema through appetite control and removal of seupdam (濕痰) (damp-phlegm). It also includes components to lower excessive heat, replenish deficient jin-ye, and stabilize the autonomic nervous system.

  • Improving metabolism and circulation
  • Body Fat Breakdown
  • Appetite Control
  • Seupdam removal · edema reduction
  • Lowering heat and replenishing jin-ye
  • Autonomic nervous system stabilization

06FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

QThe diet medication I used to take no longer suits me.
A

When menopausal hot sensations and sweating are severe, taking strong diet medications can be hard for the body to tolerate. We first assess your condition with prescriptions that help stabilize the autonomic nervous system and replenish jin-ye.

QWhy treat menopausal symptoms together?
A

Menopausal syndrome, obesity, and metabolic syndrome are intertwined as both causes and results. This is because weight loss can become easier when menopausal symptoms that strain the body and mind are eased.

QWhat changes can I expect during treatment?
A

Our goal is for the body to feel lighter, facial puffiness to decrease, and the complexion to look clearer. Changes vary by individual.
