Losing weight is about more than just willpower or discipline. When weight is lost, the body perceives it as a survival threat. For millennia, weight loss signified famine, not a diet. This is why the body mounts a strong reaction to preserve fat stores and regain any weight that was shed. Following weight loss, there are significant changes to hormones that regulate appetite and fullness. The hormones that stimulate hunger rise, while those that signal satiety fall.
This means that you often feel more hungry than before, even when eating healthily and “doing everything correctly.” These hormonal shifts can persist for many months, sometimes for over a year. Concurrently, your body burns fewer calories at rest than anticipated and operates with greater energy efficiency, requiring less energy to function. This metabolic adaptation serves as a protective mechanism: the body is conserving energy because it perceives a scarcity of food.
In Germany, having an elevated weight is a widespread issue. For women, the most significant increases occur when they enter the perimenopausal stage, after which being overweight becomes increasingly prevalent. Meanwhile, for men, increased weight begins to be a considerable problem as early as after they turn 25 years old.
Beyond causing daily discomfort, carrying excess weight can become a major long-term problem. Obesity is a factor in nearly 8% of cancer cases and elevates the risk for cardiovascular diseases (primarily heart disease and stroke), type 2 diabetes, and musculoskeletal conditions such as osteoarthritis. These issues lead to premature mortality and considerable disability. It is therefore crucial to manage obesity. While numerous methods exist, the most important thing is to find a sustainable way to maintain your target weight. The probability of regaining weight after short-term diets or drastic interventions is extremely high. For this reason, having the right strategy and support for adherence is essential.
If you are experiencing weight gain, sugar cravings, an increase in abdominal fat, emotional or binge eating, or other symptoms related to being overweight, The Longevity Practice is able to assist you with:
The simple answer: as soon as you can.
Studies indicate that numerous key health indicators already start to change in early adulthood. The sooner you develop an understanding of your individual risk factors and begin to track important changes (hormonal, metabolic, cardiovascular, and others), the more you can effectively gain from making adjustments to your lifestyle, nutrition, and physical activity.
Nevertheless, it is always a good time to start. Whether you begin in your 30s, 40s, or later, comprehending your baseline and addressing age-related shifts can still result in significant positive changes. Starting earlier just makes it simpler to sustain progress and promote your health in the long run.
At The Longevity Practice, our focus is on detecting risks before they develop into health issues by using early and precise diagnostics. We create clear, individualized strategies to preserve long-term health rather than reacting to illness. Our aim is to provide every patient with a thorough understanding of their own body and actionable steps they can implement today. With prevention and clarity as our foundation, we assist patients in creating a longer, healthier life.

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:
