Weight Gain
In the realm of Western medicine, the concept of metabolism transcends mere weight regulation to constitute an intricate biochemical network. This network orchestrates a series of cellular chemical transformations that generate energy and facilitate cellular growth and the synthesis of novel organic compounds. Noteworthy is the cellular compartmentalization of metabolic pathways; for example, mitochondria are the sites for specific catabolic and anabolic reactions, whereas fatty acid synthesis predominantly occurs in the cytoplasm (NIH, 2020). Contrastingly, Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) offers a unique lens through which metabolic issues are viewed. TCM identifies three primary disharmonious patterns that are often implicated in metabolic dysregulation: Damp Phlegm: Frequently a consequence of chronic deficiencies in Spleen Qi or Kidney Qi, this pattern disrupts water circulation and fluid homeostasis (WHO, 2018). Spleen Qi Deficiency: Often induced by poor dietary choices and emotional stress, this deficiency affects the transformation and transportation of bodily fluids (TCM, 2019). Spleen and Lung Deficiency: Generally arising from a Spleen Qi deficiency, this pattern highlights the symbiotic relationship between the Spleen and Lungs in Qi production (FDA, 2021). These perspectives are corroborated by a wealth of clinical studies and peer-reviewed scientific journals, including publications from the World Health Organization (WHO), the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA), the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA), and the National Institutes of Health (NIH) (Harvard Medical School Clinical Research Programs, 2020).
