Managing weight involves more than just self-control or determination. When an individual loses weight, their body perceives it as a survival risk. For millennia, weight loss signified starvation, not a conscious diet. This is the reason the body mounts a powerful response to preserve fat stores and recover any lost weight. Following weight loss, hormones regulating appetite and fullness undergo substantial shifts. The hormones that stimulate hunger rise, while those that signal satiety fall.
This explains why, despite eating nutritious food and following a correct regimen, you may frequently experience increased hunger. Such hormonal adjustments can persist for several months, occasionally extending beyond a year. Concurrently, your body's resting caloric expenditure decreases, and it operates with greater energy efficiency, requiring less energy to carry out its functions. This metabolic adaptation serves as a defense mechanism, where the body conserves its energy resources under the assumption that food availability is limited.
Excess weight is a widespread issue in Germany. For women, the most significant increases in weight occur around the onset of perimenopause, after which being overweight becomes increasingly prevalent. Meanwhile, for men, rising weight often becomes a considerable concern as early as age 25.
In addition to creating daily discomfort, carrying excess weight can become a major long-term problem. Obesity is a factor in nearly 8% of cancers and elevates the risk of cardiovascular conditions (primarily heart disease and stroke), type 2 diabetes, and musculoskeletal issues such as osteoarthritis. Such conditions can lead to premature mortality and significant disability. For this reason, addressing obesity is crucial. While numerous methods exist, the most vital aspect is discovering a sustainable approach to maintaining your goal weight. The likelihood of regaining weight after short-term diets or extreme measures is considerable. Consequently, having the right strategy and support for adherence is extremely important.
If you are experiencing weight gain, intense sugar cravings, an increase in abdominal fat, emotional or binge eating, or other symptoms associated with being overweight, The Longevity Practice can assist you with:
The short answer is: as soon as you can.
Studies indicate that numerous crucial health indicators start to change as early as young adulthood. The sooner you understand your individual risk factors and begin tracking important developments (hormonal, metabolic, cardiovascular, and more), the more effectively you can profit from making changes to your lifestyle, diet, and physical activity.
Nonetheless, it is never too late to start. Regardless of whether you begin in your 30s, 40s, or later, comprehending your baseline health and addressing age-related shifts can result in significant enhancements. Commencing at an earlier age just simplifies the process of sustaining your progress and fostering long-term well-being.

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:
