Losing weight involves more than just self-control or determination. When weight is lost, the body perceives this as a danger to its survival. For millennia, a reduction in weight signified starvation, not a conscious diet. This is why the body mounts a robust defense to preserve its fat stores and recover any lost weight. Following weight loss, the hormones governing appetite and fullness undergo significant changes. Hormones that stimulate hunger increase, while those that signal satiety decrease.
This means that even when you adhere to a healthy diet and “do everything right,” you are likely to feel more hungry than before. These hormonal shifts can persist for many months, sometimes for over a year. At the same time, your body begins to burn fewer calories at rest and operates with greater energy efficiency, meaning it requires less energy to function. This metabolic adaptation serves as a protective response: the body is conserving energy because it perceives a scarcity of food.
Excess weight is a widespread issue in Germany. The most substantial increases for women occur as they enter the perimenopausal stage, after which being overweight becomes increasingly common. In contrast, for men, increased weight can become a serious concern as early as age 25.
Beyond causing daily discomfort, being overweight can present a major long-term health issue. Obesity is a contributing factor in almost 8% of cancer cases and elevates the risk for cardiovascular diseases (primarily heart disease and stroke), type 2 diabetes, and musculoskeletal conditions like osteoarthritis. These health problems can lead to premature death and significant disability. Consequently, it is essential to address obesity. While there are numerous approaches to do so, the most crucial element is finding a method to maintain your target weight sustainably. The probability of regaining weight after short-term diets or radical interventions is extremely high. Thus, having the right strategy and support for adherence is of great importance.
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 significant changes (such as hormonal, metabolic, and cardiovascular), the more effectively you can gain from making modifications to your lifestyle, diet, and physical activity.
Nevertheless, it is never too late to start. Whether you begin in your 30s, 40s, or later, grasping your personal baseline and adapting to age-related shifts can still result in significant health improvements. Commencing at a younger age just simplifies the process of sustaining progress and fostering 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:
