Medical weight management. Peace with your metabolism.

Weight loss is often not a matter of lacking discipline, but a complex hormonal regulatory disorder. We put an end to the yo-yo effect and the constant thinking about food (“food noise”). In our private practice we do not offer quick online prescriptions, but a safe, multimodal treatment concept. We use modern active substances (GLP-1 agonists such as Wegovy or Mounjaro) as a medical tool, embedded in close medical supervision.

The goal: Achieve a healthy weight and maintain it long term.

Medical diagnostics & initial consultation according to GOÄ from €120.

Your medical master plan:

  • Safety first: Start only after thorough lab work and ultrasound check
  • Medication: Safe titration with modern GLP-1 receptor agonists
  • Coaching: Accompanying lifestyle and dietary adjustment

Description

Why we say “no” to quick online prescriptions

Medications such as GLP‑1 agonists are highly effective pharmaceuticals. They deeply intervene in blood sugar regulation and the hormonal system. Using them without a prior medical examination and without personal supervision is simply negligent. In my practice, I only prescribe this therapy when it is medically safe and makes sense for you. We assess your heart, thyroid, and pancreas before we start.

I am also at your side as your physician when it comes to dose adjustment or managing possible side effects (such as nausea in the initial phase). You will never be left on your own with us.

Our multimodal concept: The 3 pillars of success

An injection alone does not change long-term habits. To help you maintain your new weight and avoid the dreaded yo-yo effect, we build on a solid foundation:

  • 01. The medical check (safety first)
    Before we begin, we carry out a comprehensive “pit stop”. This includes an extensive lab panel (liver, kidneys, thyroid, blood sugar), an ultrasound (e.g. to rule out gallstones), and a detailed medical history to exclude contraindications.
  • 02. The GLP‑1 therapy
    We adjust you to the medication that suits you best. The effect: a strong, long-lasting feeling of satiety, a drastic reduction in food cravings, and stable blood sugar levels. Administration is conveniently done by yourself at home once a week (pen).
  • 03. Nutrition coaching
    The medication opens the window – you have to step through it. We work closely with specialized nutritionists. The goal is to learn a way of eating that leaves you satisfied and provides sufficient protein so that you lose fat without losing valuable muscle mass.

Weight management is a matter of trust

In my private practice, I combine the general practitioner’s perspective on your health with my aesthetic understanding. There is no stigma here. We talk openly about obesity as a chronic disease. Often, invisible factors such as chronic stress (cortisol) or sleep problems play a major role in weight gain. We always look at the full picture in order to support you holistically.

Frequently asked questions about weight reduction

+ Who can be treated with the “weight‑loss injection”?
The therapy is medically approved for people with a body mass index (BMI) over 30 (obesity) or a BMI over 27 with weight‑related comorbidities (e.g. high blood pressure or prediabetes). We explicitly do not treat patients who only want to “lose 2 kilos for their vacation” (no lifestyle use).
+ How much does the full treatment cost?
Medical supervision is a self‑pay service billed according to the German medical fee schedule (GOÄ). This includes the in‑depth medical consultation, laboratory diagnostics, ultrasound, and issuing the prescription. You also cover the monthly costs of the medication itself (pharmacy price). Private health insurers cover the costs in certain cases with a strict medical indication – we are happy to review this with you on an individual basis.
+ Do I have to inject the medication forever?
Not necessarily. Our primary goal is to use the time window during therapy to consolidate new, healthy habits. Those who permanently change their diet and physical activity under our guidance have very good chances of maintaining their new weight even after the medication is gradually tapered off. Without accompanying lifestyle changes, however, the weight often returns.
