Managing weight involves more than just self-control or determination. When weight is lost, the human body perceives this as a danger to its survival. For millennia, a drop in weight signified famine, not a planned diet. This is why the body initiates a strong reaction to preserve fat stores and recover any lost weight. Following weight loss, hormones that control appetite and satiety undergo significant changes. Hormones that induce hunger rise, while those that communicate a sense of fullness diminish.
This means that despite eating a healthy diet and “doing everything right,” you may experience more hunger than before. These hormonal adjustments can persist for many months, and in some cases, for more than a year. Concurrently, your body uses fewer calories at rest than would be expected and operates with greater energy efficiency, meaning it requires less energy for its functions. This metabolic adaptation serves as a protective mechanism: the body works to conserve energy because it perceives that food is in short supply.
In Germany, elevated weight is a very widespread concern. The most significant weight increases for women tend to occur when they enter the perimenopausal stage, after which being overweight becomes progressively more frequent. Meanwhile, for men, increased weight begins to present a serious issue as early as 25 years of age.
In addition to causing discomfort in daily life, carrying excess weight can become a major issue over 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 conditions such as osteoarthritis. These conditions can lead to premature death and significant disability. Consequently, addressing obesity is crucial. There are various approaches to achieve this, but the most important factor is finding a sustainable method to maintain your target weight. The probability of regaining weight after short-term diets or radical interventions is extremely high. For this reason, the correct strategy and support for adherence are highly relevant.
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 can offer assistance with:
In short: the sooner, the better.
Studies indicate that numerous key health indicators start to change as early as young adulthood. The sooner you understand your individual risk factors and begin tracking important changes (such as hormonal, metabolic, and cardiovascular), the more effectively you can gain from making modifications to your lifestyle, diet, and activity levels.
Nevertheless, it is never too late to start. Regardless of whether you begin in your 30s, 40s, or later, comprehending your baseline health and responding to age-associated changes can still result in significant enhancements. Beginning at an earlier age just simplifies the process of sustaining progress and promoting health over the long term.

Rather than merely reacting to illness, we develop straightforward, individualized plans designed to preserve health over the long term.

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:
