Losing weight involves more than just self-control or determination. When an individual sheds pounds, their body perceives it as a survival risk. For millennia, weight reduction signified famine rather than a controlled diet. This is why the body mounts a robust defense to preserve fat stores and recover any lost weight. Following weight loss, there is a notable shift in the hormones regulating appetite and fullness. Hormones that stimulate hunger rise, while those that signal satiety fall.
This means you may frequently feel hungrier than before, even when you eat healthily and “do everything right.” These hormonal fluctuations can persist for many months, and sometimes for over a year. At the same time, your body's resting caloric expenditure decreases, and it becomes more adept at conserving energy, requiring less fuel for its basic functions. This metabolic adjustment serves as a protective mechanism, with the body saving energy because it assumes food is becoming limited.
Excess weight is a widespread issue in Germany. The most significant increases in weight for women tend to occur when they enter the perimenopausal phase, after which being overweight becomes increasingly common. In parallel, for men, rising weight can start to become a serious concern from the age of 25 onwards.
In addition to causing daily discomfort, being overweight can develop into a significant long-term problem. Obesity is a factor in nearly 8% of cancer cases and elevates the risk for cardiovascular conditions (primarily heart disease and stroke), type 2 diabetes, and musculoskeletal issues like osteoarthritis. These health problems often lead to premature mortality and considerable disability. It is therefore essential to manage obesity. While many methods exist, the most crucial element is to find a sustainable way to maintain your target weight. The probability of regaining weight after short-term diets or extreme interventions is very high. Consequently, the right 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 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 changes (such as hormonal, metabolic, and cardiovascular), the more effectively you can benefit 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, gaining an understanding of your baseline health and addressing age-related shifts can still result in significant improvements. 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:
