Weight loss is not simply a matter of discipline or willpower. When a person loses weight, the body interprets this as a threat to survival. For thousands of years, weight loss meant famine—not dieting. That is why the body reacts strongly to protect fat reserves and regain lost weight. After weight loss, appetite and satiety hormones change significantly. Hormones that trigger hunger increase, and hormones that convey satiety decrease.
This means that even if you eat healthily and “do everything right,” you often feel hungrier than before. These hormonal changes can last for many months, sometimes longer than a year. At the same time your body burns fewer calories than expected at rest and becomes more energy efficient, which means that it needs less energy to function. This metabolic adjustment is a protective mechanism: the body conserves energy because it believes that food is becoming scarce.
The elevated weight is a very common problem in Germany. The highest jumps for women are happening while entering the perimenopausal age, after that point the overweight is becoming more and more common. At the same time, increased weight for men starts to be a serious issue already after turning 25 years old.
Besides causing discomfort in everyday life, being overweight might be a big issue in the long run. Obesity contributes to almost 8% of cancer cases and increases the risk for cardiovascular diseases (mainly heart disease and stroke), type 2 diabetes, musculoskeletal disorders like osteoarthritis. These conditions cause premature death and substantial disability. Therefore, it is key to address obesity. There are multiple ways to get there but most importantly you find a way to sustain your target weight. The risk of bouncing back from short term diets or radical interventions is very high. Therefore the proper strategy and adherence support is very relevant.
In the case if you suffer from weight gain, sugar craving, increase in belly fat, emotional / binge eating and other overweight-related symptoms The Longevity Practice could help you with:
Short answer: as early as possible.
Research shows that many important health markers begin to shift already in early adulthood. The earlier you gain insight into your personal risk factors and start monitoring key changes (hormonal, metabolic, cardiovascular and others), the more effectively you can benefit from adjustments in lifestyle, nutrition, and activity.
That said, it’s never too late to begin. Whether you start in your 30s, 40s, or beyond, understanding your baseline and responding to age-related changes can still lead to meaningful improvements. Starting earlier simply makes it easier to maintain progress and support long-term health.
At The Longevity Practice, we focus on identifying risks before they become health problems through early, precise diagnostics. Instead of reacting to disease, we create clear, personalized plans to maintain long-term health. Our goal is to give every patient a deep understanding of their body along with practical steps they can take today. With prevention and clarity at the core, we help patients build a longer, healthier life.
Our priority is helping people feel their best at any age and supporting them in living longer, healthier lives. To achieve this, we focus on several core principles:

In our practice, we rely exclusively on evidence-based methods and medical diagnostics that have been scientifically proven to make a difference. Our focus is on preventing the “four horsemen” of aging—cardiovascular disease, cancer, metabolic dysfunction, and neurodegeneration—rather than offering trends like epigenetic age tests or wellness drips. Our Prevention strategy addresses tailored exercises, nutrition, sleep, mental health and if necessary support by supplement and medication.
The cost for a Weight Loss Focus Session is based on the German healthcare pricing system (GOÄ – Gebührenordnung für Ärzte). We encourage you not to stop at consultation alone, but to begin your full Longevity Journey with us. Here is what our protocol looks like:
