WHY AM I OVERWEIGHT? The TCM Body Type That Explains It

Have you ever wondered why some people seem to gain weight easily despite eating less, while others stay slim with little effort? According to Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), the answer goes far beyond calories, metabolism, or willpower. Your body type, internal balance, and the health of your organs all play a vital role in determining how your body stores and uses energy. In this video, we'll explore the overweight body type through the lens of Traditional Chinese Medicine. You'll discover how patterns such as Spleen Qi deficiency, Dampness accumulation, Phlegm retention, Kidney Yang deficiency, and Liver Qi stagnation can contribute to excess weight and make weight loss more challenging. Rather than treating weight as the problem itself, TCM seeks to uncover the underlying imbalance unique to each individual. By understanding these root causes, you'll gain valuable insights into why your body behaves the way it does—and how restoring internal harmony can support healthy, sustainable weight management. Whether you're a TCM practitioner, student, or simply curious about a holistic approach to health, this video will help you see excess weight from a completely new perspective. Let's uncover what your body has been trying to tell you all along.
