Losing weight is more complex than a simple exercise of discipline or willpower. When an individual loses weight, their body registers this change as a threat to its survival. For thousands of years, a reduction in weight signaled famine—not a deliberate diet. This is why the body reacts with a strong defense to protect its fat reserves and regain any weight that was lost. After weight loss, hormones regulating appetite and fullness undergo significant shifts. Hormones responsible for stimulating hunger increase, while those that signal satiety decrease.
This hormonal imbalance means that even if you are eating a healthy diet and “do everything right,” you will frequently feel more hungry than you did before. These hormonal adjustments can persist for many months, and in some cases, for more than a year. Simultaneously, your body burns a smaller number of calories than expected while at rest and becomes more efficient with its energy use, meaning it requires less energy to carry out its functions. This metabolic adjustment serves as a protective mechanism: the body is conserving energy because it perceives a scarcity of food.
In Germany, elevated weight is a very prevalent problem. The most substantial weight gains for women occur as they enter the perimenopausal age, and from that point on, being overweight becomes increasingly common. Meanwhile, for men, an increase in weight begins to pose a serious issue as early as after they turn 25 years old.
Beyond causing discomfort in day-to-day life, carrying excess weight can be a significant issue in the long term. Obesity is a contributing factor in nearly 8% of cancer cases and elevates the risk for cardiovascular diseases (primarily heart disease and stroke), type 2 diabetes, and musculoskeletal disorders such as osteoarthritis. These health conditions result in premature death and considerable disability. For this reason, addressing obesity is essential. There are numerous paths to achieve this, but the most crucial aspect is finding a method to maintain your target weight sustainably. The probability of rebounding from short-term diets or drastic interventions is extremely high. Therefore, having the correct strategy and support for adherence is highly important.
In situations where you contend with weight gain, sugar cravings, an increase in abdominal fat, emotional or binge eating, and other symptoms related to being overweight, The Longevity Practice is able to assist you with:
Short answer: as early as possible.
Research demonstrates that a number of vital health markers already start to change in early adulthood. The sooner you acquire insight into your unique risk factors and begin monitoring key shifts (hormonal, metabolic, cardiovascular, and others), the more effectively you can reap the rewards of adjustments to your lifestyle, diet, and activity levels.
With that in mind, it is never too late to make a start. Whether you commence in your 30s, 40s, or even later, comprehending your baseline and reacting to age-associated changes can still produce meaningful improvements. Beginning earlier simply facilitates the process of maintaining progress and fostering long-term health.
At The Longevity Practice, we concentrate on identifying potential risks before they develop into health problems by using early, precise diagnostics. Rather than reacting to an existing disease, we formulate clear, personalized strategies to uphold long-term health. Our objective is to furnish every patient with a profound understanding of their own body, complemented by practical steps they can implement today. With prevention and clarity as our central tenets, we assist patients in cultivating a longer, more healthful life.
Our main priority is to help people feel their best at every age while supporting them in leading longer, healthier lives. To realize this, we center our work on several fundamental principles:
• Scientific Precision
• Personalization
• Prevention First
• Clarity & Guidance
• Long-Term Healthspan

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:
