Managing weight involves much more than just discipline or willpower. When an individual loses weight, the body perceives it as a threat to its survival. Throughout millennia, weight loss was a sign of famine, not of dieting. This is the reason the body has a strong reaction to protect its fat stores and recover any lost weight. Following weight loss, there are significant changes in the hormones that control appetite and satiety. The hormones that induce hunger become more prevalent, while those that signal fullness diminish.
This signifies that you may often feel more hungry than before, even when you are eating a healthy diet and “doing everything correctly.” These hormonal shifts can endure for numerous months, and in some cases, for more than a year. Concurrently, your body begins to burn fewer calories at rest than would be expected and operates with greater energy efficiency, meaning it requires less energy to function. This metabolic adaptation serves as a protective measure: the body is conserving energy based on the belief that food is scarce.
Elevated weight is a highly common issue in Germany. For women, the most substantial weight increases occur upon entering the perimenopausal stage, after which being overweight becomes progressively more frequent. In parallel, for men, an increase in weight starts to become a significant problem from the age of 25 onwards.
Beyond causing daily discomfort, being overweight can pose a major problem in the long term. Obesity is a factor in nearly 8% of all cancer cases and elevates the risk for cardiovascular conditions (chiefly heart disease and stroke), type 2 diabetes, and musculoskeletal issues like osteoarthritis. Such conditions can result in premature death and significant disability. Consequently, it is essential to address the issue of obesity. Multiple methods are available, but the crucial element is discovering a sustainable way to maintain your goal weight. The probability of weight regain following short-term diets or radical measures is exceptionally high. This is why an appropriate strategy combined with adherence support is particularly relevant.
If you experience weight gain, sugar cravings, an increase in abdominal fat, emotional or binge eating, or other symptoms associated with being overweight, The Longevity Practice can offer help with the following:
The simple answer is: as early as you can.
Evidence indicates that many vital health metrics already start to change during early adulthood. The sooner you understand your personal risk factors and begin to monitor key changes (hormonal, metabolic, cardiovascular, and others), the more efficiently you can take advantage of lifestyle, nutritional, and activity adjustments.
With that in mind, it is never too late to start. Whether you begin in your 30s, 40s, or even later, comprehending your baseline and reacting to age-related changes can still yield significant improvements. Beginning at an earlier stage simply makes maintaining your progress and supporting your long-term health easier.
At The Longevity Practice, we concentrate on identifying risks through early, precise diagnostics before they can evolve into health problems. Rather than reacting to an illness once it has occurred, we formulate clear, personalized strategies to uphold long-term health. Our objective is to equip every patient with an in-depth understanding of their body, along with practical actions they can implement immediately. With prevention and clarity as our core tenets, we guide patients in building a longer and healthier life.
Our foremost priority is to assist people in feeling their best at any age and to support them in achieving longer, healthier lives. To realize this goal, we center our work on several core principles:
• Scientific Precision
• Personalization
• Prevention First
• Clarity & Guidance
• Long-Term Healthspan
• Trust & Transparency

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:
