Weight Management

Holistic Weight Management During Hormonal Imbalance and Emotional Stress

Symptoms:

Patient G, a woman in her 50s, gained 20–30% body weight during menopause due to hormonal changes and slowed metabolism, accompanied by low energy and fatigue.
Another patient, Q, weighed 120 kg and struggled with obesity related to emotional eating, stress, and lack of self-discipline. Both cases reflected a deeper imbalance between body, emotion, and energy flow.

Our Approach:

We designed a multi-phase holistic weight management programme to restore metabolic function, vitality, and emotional balance without harming the body.
The treatment included:

• Electro-Qigong therapy in the first two weeks to open meridians and activate metabolism.

• Herbal formulas supporting the heart and circulatory system, enhancing stamina and vitality.

• Taoist fasting therapy (Bigu) and vital-energy soup (Yuan Qi Tang) from week 3 onwards — a gentle fasting approach that reduces appetite, improves digestion, and prevents rebound.

• Lifestyle guidance on mindful nutrition, movement, and self-care rituals.

Healing Progress:

G’s energy and sleep improved within 2 weeks, and she began losing weight gradually without exhaustion.

• Q lost 18 kg in the first 3 weeks, 25 kg within 2 months, and reported better mood, confidence, and clarity about his emotional triggers.
  Both patients reached stable weight reduction while maintaining vitality and emotional stability.

Results:

• Sustainable fat loss without rebound.

• Improved metabolism, energy, and mental clarity.

• Emotional balance and awareness of self-sabotaging habits.

• Renewed motivation and self-confidence.

Holistic Insight:

In Traditional Chinese Medicine, the Spleen governs digestion and transformation — when its function weakens, dampness and stagnation lead to weight gain and fatigue.
From a psychological view, obesity often reflects emotional blockage and avoidance: using food to numb pain or fill emotional emptiness.
True healing begins when one reconnects with the body, learns to nourish rather than punish, and transforms food from emotional escape into conscious nourishment.
When the mind, metabolism, and meridians align, lightness and vitality naturally return.
