Insulin Resistance

Insulin resistance tends to respond relatively quickly. When you cut back on refined carbohydrates and start exercising, symptoms like post-meal drowsiness and sluggishness can ease within a few weeks, but for blood sugar and insulin numbers to be clearly reflected in tests, you usually need to manage consistently for about 2-3 months. That is why we typically recheck at 3-month intervals to track progress. A good sign is when the shrinking of your waistline and the improvement of metabolism go together.

Our Korean Medicine Clinic's Perspective

Dongjedang proceeds step by step, from the stage of clearing the abdominal surplus to the stage of reviving and stabilizing metabolism. Early on, you first feel changes like a lighter body, less post-meal drowsiness, and easier digestion, and then you see belly fat, blood sugar, and insulin numbers improve together. Because metabolic recovery is the goal, we adjust the pace toward a direction that can be maintained without strain.
