Managing weight involves more than just self-control or determination. When weight is lost, the human body perceives it as a danger to its existence. Historically, losing weight signified famine, not a voluntary diet. Consequently, the body has a powerful response to safeguard its fat stores and restore any weight that has been shed. Following a period of weight loss, there are notable shifts in hormones that regulate appetite and fullness. The hormones that signal hunger become more active, while those that indicate satisfaction are reduced.
As a result, you might experience increased hunger, even when adhering to a healthy diet and following all the correct steps. This hormonal imbalance can persist for several months, and in some cases, for over a year. Simultaneously, your body's resting metabolism slows down, burning fewer calories than anticipated and operating with greater energy efficiency, requiring less fuel to operate. This change in metabolism is a defense mechanism, as the body works to conserve energy under the assumption that food sources are limited.
Excess weight is a widespread issue in Germany. For women, the most significant increases in weight typically occur during the transition into perimenopause, after which being overweight becomes increasingly prevalent. Meanwhile, for men, rising weight can become a considerable concern as early as the age of 25.
In addition to creating daily discomfort, carrying excess weight can pose a significant long-term problem. It is a factor in nearly 8% of cancer cases and elevates the likelihood of developing cardiovascular conditions (primarily heart disease and stroke), type 2 diabetes, and musculoskeletal issues such as osteoarthritis. Such health problems can lead to an earlier death and considerable long-term disability. For this reason, addressing obesity is essential. While there are many approaches, the most critical aspect is discovering a method to maintain your goal weight sustainably. The probability of regaining weight after temporary diets or extreme measures is substantial. Consequently, having the right strategy and support for compliance is extremely important.
If you are experiencing weight gain, cravings for sugar, an increase in abdominal fat, emotional or binge eating, or other symptoms related to excess weight, 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 key developments (hormonal, metabolic, cardiovascular, and others), the more you can gain from making modifications to your lifestyle, diet, and activity.
However, it is never too late to start. Regardless of whether you begin in your 30s, 40s, or later, grasping your health baseline and adapting to age-associated changes can result in significant enhancements. Beginning at a younger age just simplifies the process of sustaining progress and fostering enduring health.
At The Longevity Practice, our emphasis is on detecting risks with early and accurate diagnostics before they develop into health issues. Rather than responding to illness, we develop straightforward, individualized strategies designed to preserve health over the long term. We aim to provide each patient with profound insight into their own body, complemented by actionable steps they can implement immediately. Centered on prevention and clarity, we guide patients in constructing a longer, more healthful 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:
