Weight Loss

Breaking the Cycle of Dieting and Weight Regain

Nearly 75% of American adults are overweight or obese, caught in a vicious cycle of trying restrictive diets only to regain the lost weight (and then some). Fad programs and quick fixes never address the underlying causes, leading to frustrating yo-yo patterns and a continuing struggle with weight. If you’re fed up with temporary solutions and ready for real, lasting transformation, it’s time to discover Dr. Yu Kang’s pioneering approach.

By masterfully combining acupuncture, clinical nutrition, and traditional Chinese medicine, Dr. Kang provides a fully individualized, holistic path to sustainable weight loss and optimal well-being. Her programs don’t relied on extreme diets or excessive exercise. Instead, she gets to the root of each patient’s imbalances through comprehensive diagnostics and tailors treatments to restore balance.

With over 25 years of education and clinical experience from top institutions across the U.S. and Asia, Dr. Kang is uniquely qualified to guide you through this profound healing journey. Her exemplary credentials include a doctorate in Oriental medicine, a master’s in nutrition from Penn State, licensure in acupuncture, dietetics, and herbology, and multiple diplomas in Oriental medicine disciplines. This unparalleled expertise allows Dr. Kang to shed light on your weight struggles from both Eastern and Western perspectives – and finally help you break the cycle to reclaim your health and vitality.

An Integrated Mind-Body Approach for Lasting Results

From the Western medical viewpoint, weight gain often results from factors like poor nutrition, sedentary lifestyles, genetics, and hormonal imbalances that disrupt the body’s metabolism. But there’s another lens that yields deeper insights – the ancient wisdom of traditional Chinese medicine. Through this holistic perspective, Dr. Kang identifies imbalances in the flow of vital energy (qi) and accumulation of dampness and phlegm as major contributors to obesity. Organ system disharmonies, particularly with the spleen and liver, can impair digestive function and emotional equilibrium.

Dr. Kang’s multi-pronged approach to weight loss is designed to retrain your physiology and resolve the underlying energetic imbalances that contribute to weight gain. Your customized treatment plan will combine:

  • Acupuncture to suppress appetite, boost metabolism, and balance emotions
  • Herbal formulas to eliminate dampness, phlegm, and stagnation
  • Nutrition plans with specific food properties to support weight loss
  • Mind-body practices like meditation, qi gong, and tai chi to reduce stress
 

By integrating Eastern modalities with Western nutrition science, Dr. Kang addresses the root issues behind weight gain, facilitating lasting change through a holistic perspective. Acupuncture stimulates the vagus nerve and raises serotonin levels, suppressing appetite and reducing emotional eating. Dr. Kang also combines nutritional interventions, such as low energy density foods, with herbs that clear damp heat in the spleen and liver meridians to reduce cravings naturally.
