02PROGRAM GOALS
Why prenatal · postpartum weight management is needed
Pregnancy brings major changes to the body. These changes can weaken the body, or after childbirth, stamina and energy can drop sharply, leading to frequent minor illnesses.
01During Pregnancy (Prenatal)
During pregnancy, weight can increase rapidly. Weight management may help reduce risks that can lead to preeclampsia, preterm birth, high blood pressure, and difficult labor, and it helps protect the health of both mother and baby.
02After Childbirth (Postpartum)
The goal is to reduce excess fat and waste products remaining after childbirth and ease edema, helping you return to a healthy body like before childbirth.
03STEPS
How we begin postpartum weight management
- STEP 1
Restoration of Qi and Blood
If childbirth causes severe damage to qi and blood (氣血: energy and blood), we first support recovery with postpartum restorative herbal medicine, then begin weight management in a healthy way.
- STEP 2
6 Weeks After Childbirth
We begin weight management at an intensity that is not too much for the body.
- STEP 3
3–6 Months Postpartum (Golden Time)
This is the golden time for postpartum weight management, and it is best to begin active care without delay. The Slim Silhouette Program can begin after 100 days postpartum when the mother is healthy.
