Managing weight involves more than just discipline or willpower. When an individual loses weight, their body perceives it as a threat to survival. For millennia, weight loss signified famine, not intentional dieting. This is why the body initiates a strong response to safeguard its fat reserves and recover any lost weight. Following weight loss, hormones that control appetite and satiety undergo significant changes. The hormones that stimulate hunger increase, while those that indicate fullness decrease.
This means that you often feel hungrier than before, even when you are eating healthily and “do everything right.” These hormonal shifts can persist for many months, occasionally for over a year. Concurrently, your body burns fewer calories than anticipated while at rest and operates more efficiently, requiring less energy to function. This metabolic adjustment serves as a protective mechanism: the body conserves energy under the belief that food is becoming limited.
Elevated weight is a highly prevalent issue in Germany. The most substantial weight gain for women typically occurs during the transition into perimenopause, after which being overweight becomes increasingly common. In parallel, for men, increased weight begins to present a serious problem as early as 25 years of age.
Beyond causing discomfort in daily activities, being overweight can pose a significant long-term health issue. 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 conditions such as osteoarthritis. These ailments lead to premature death and considerable disability. Consequently, it is vital to address obesity. There are numerous paths to achieve this, but the most crucial element is finding a sustainable method to maintain your target weight. The likelihood of weight regain after short-term diets or drastic interventions is extremely high. Therefore, having the correct strategy and support for adherence is very important.
If you are dealing with weight gain, sugar cravings, increased belly fat, emotional or binge eating, and other symptoms associated with being overweight, The Longevity Practice can assist you with:
The brief answer is: as soon as possible.
Research indicates that many vital health indicators already begin to change in early adulthood. The earlier you understand your personal risk factors and begin to monitor key transformations (hormonal, metabolic, cardiovascular, and others), the more effectively you can leverage adjustments to your lifestyle, nutrition, and physical activity.
However, it is never too late to start. Whether you begin in your 30s, 40s, or later, gaining insight into your baseline health and reacting to age-related changes can still result in significant improvements. Starting earlier just makes it more straightforward to sustain progress and foster long-term health.
At The Longevity Practice, our focus is on using early, precise diagnostics to identify risks before they develop into health problems. Rather than reacting to illness, we formulate clear, individualized plans to sustain long-term health. Our objective is to provide every patient with a thorough understanding of their body, accompanied by practical actions they can take right away. With prevention and clarity as our foundation, we guide patients toward building a longer, healthier life.
Our primary commitment is to help people feel their best at every stage of life and to support them in living longer, healthier lives. To realize this, we operate on several core principles:
• Scientific Precision
• Personalization
• Prevention First
• Clarity & Guidance

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:
