Understanding Metabolic Pathways and Weight Management: An Integrative Approach The field of weight management is a complex interplay of metabolic processes, which are a series of intricate biochemical reactions occurring within cellular compartments. In Western medicine, these processes are primarily understood to occur in specialized cellular organelles such as mitochondria for ATP synthesis and the cytoplasm for fatty acid metabolism. On the other hand, Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) offers a different perspective, categorizing metabolic imbalances into three primary disharmonious patterns: Damp Phlegm, Spleen Qi Deficiency, and Spleen and Lung Deficiency. These patterns are often a result of prolonged deficiencies in Spleen Qi or Kidney Qi, poor diet, and emotional stress, affecting fluid transformation and transportation (World Health Organization, 2019; U.S. Food and Drug Administration, 2020; United States Department of Agriculture, 2018; National Institutes of Health, 2021).
