[Diagnosis] Severe vascular condition via Oriental pulse examination

Beyond simple weight gain, chronic fatigue, stress, and gastritis, the patient also had palpitations (chest pounding). The pulse diagnosis revealed a weak heart pulse, prompting further testing. The Oriental pulse examination result showed significantly decreased vascular elasticity (Type F), and her vascular health age was measured as 39 years older than her actual age. It was a dangerous state that could have worsened into hypertension or cardiovascular issues if left unattended.

[Result] Significant improvement in just 2 months

We prioritized improving unhealthy eating habits and started treatment with a goal of losing 10% of body weight in 3 months. After 2 months, InBody results showed a 7.7% weight loss (a 5.6kg loss in body fat alone, with a 0.5kg increase in skeletal muscle), shifting her body type from obese to plump.

The most surprising change was in her vascular health. The vascular health type improved from F to C, and her vascular health age improved significantly from +39 years to +11 years. As she is in the transition to menopause, it is not easy to reduce abdominal fat and manage blood vessels; however, through diet herbal medicine and lifestyle correction, this mid-40s office worker was able to achieve excellent improvements in her vascular health.

Because she had symptoms of 'blood deficiency' due to menopause, we avoided short-term crash diets that could strain her body and instead provided consistent coaching to help her adopt long-term, sustainable habits. Being diagnosed with a 93-year-old vascular age served as a 'reality check' that encouraged her to take responsibility, leading her to start active exercise voluntarily alongside taking the herbal medicine.

After 5 months, her weight decreased from 72.3kg to 65kg, a reduction of over 10%, and the body fat and lower-body edema that were widespread across her body returned to the normal range.

The results of the Oriental pulse examination also changed dramatically. Her vascular health type improved from E to B, and her vascular health index improved to be 10 years younger than her actual age (-10 years). Her efforts to overcome lethargy and move consistently led directly to the recovery of her vascular health.
