Losing weight involves more than just discipline or willpower. The human body perceives weight loss as a survival threat. Historically, losing weight signaled famine, not a controlled diet. Consequently, the body has a powerful response to defend its fat stores and restore any lost weight. Following weight loss, there is a notable shift in the hormones that regulate appetite and fullness. Hunger-inducing hormones rise, while those that signal satiety fall.
This explains why, even when you eat healthily and “do everything right,” you may experience increased hunger. Such hormonal shifts can persist for several months, occasionally for more than a year. Concurrently, your body’s resting metabolism slows, burning fewer calories than anticipated and operating with greater energy efficiency, thus requiring less fuel to function. This metabolic adaptation serves as a protective measure, as the body works to save energy under the assumption that food sources are dwindling.
Excess weight is a widespread issue in Germany. For women, the most significant increases in weight occur around the onset of perimenopause, after which being overweight becomes increasingly prevalent. Meanwhile, for men, rising weight often becomes a considerable concern as early as age 25.
In addition to creating daily discomfort, carrying excess weight can become a significant long-term problem. Obesity is a factor in nearly 8% of all cancer diagnoses and elevates the risk of cardiovascular conditions (primarily heart disease and stroke), type 2 diabetes, and musculoskeletal issues such as osteoarthritis. Such health problems can lead to premature mortality and considerable disability. It is therefore crucial to manage obesity effectively. While various methods exist, the most critical factor is discovering a sustainable approach to maintaining a target weight. The likelihood of regaining weight after short-term diets or extreme measures is substantial. 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 can offer assistance 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 to track important shifts (such as hormonal, metabolic, and cardiovascular changes), the more you can gain from making adjustments to your lifestyle, diet, and physical activity.
However, it is never too late to start. Whether you begin in your 30s, 40s, or later, comprehending your baseline health and addressing age-related developments can still result in significant enhancements. Commencing at an earlier age just simplifies the process of sustaining progress and promoting long-term well-being.

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:
