Obesity Treatment and Metabolic Health

Multidisciplinary Evaluation

Effective obesity treatment requires a holistic understanding of the underlying causes.
Our partner centers provide complete diagnostic work-ups including:

• Endocrine & Hormonal Testing: Thyroid, cortisol, insulin, and sex hormone analysis

• Metabolic Screening: Blood sugar, HbA1c, lipid profile, and inflammatory markers

• Body Composition Analysis: Fat and muscle ratio, visceral fat measurement

• Nutritional & Behavioral Assessment: Eating patterns, psychological factors, and lifestyle review

• Cardiovascular & Hepatic Evaluation: Echocardiography, liver ultrasound, and steatosis assessment

• Genetic & Bariatric Risk Profiling: For personalized therapy selection

All evaluations are conducted by endocrinologists, internists, and metabolic specialists according to DAG and DGE guidelines.

 

Conservative (Non-Surgical) Treatment Programs

PrimeHealthGermany coordinates individualized, medically supervised weight management programs emphasizing lifestyle modification and medical monitoring.

Components include:

• Nutritional Counseling: Personalized, evidence-based diet plans (Mediterranean, low-carb, intermittent fasting)

• Exercise & Physiotherapy Programs: Tailored activity regimens for gradual and safe physical conditioning

• Behavioral Therapy: Addressing emotional eating and motivation with certified psychologists

• Pharmacotherapy: Modern weight management medication (GLP-1 analogues, SGLT2 inhibitors, etc.) under medical supervision

• Metabolic Optimization: Hormone balancing and management of comorbidities such as hypertension, diabetes, and dyslipidemia

These conservative programs form the cornerstone of long-term obesity and metabolic management.

 

Bariatric & Metabolic Surgery

For patients where conservative measures are insufficient, we offer coordination with certified German obesity surgery centers (DGAV-Zertifizierte Adipositaszentren) performing all modern bariatric procedures under strict safety and quality standards.

Available surgical options:

• Sleeve Gastrectomy

• Roux-en-Y Gastric Bypass

• Omega-Loop / Mini Gastric Bypass

• Gastric Banding (selective cases)

• Biliopancreatic Diversion and Duodenal Switch

• Endoscopic Sleeve Gastroplasty (ESG) — minimally invasive, scar-free alternative

Benefits of bariatric surgery:

• Sustainable weight loss

• Improvement or remission of type 2 diabetes and hypertension

• Reduction in cardiovascular risk

• Enhanced mobility, sleep quality, and fertility

• Increased life expectancy and psychological well-being

Each patient’s case is discussed by a multidisciplinary obesity board (surgeon, endocrinologist, dietitian, psychologist) to determine the most appropriate and safe approach.

 

Postoperative & Long-Term Follow-Up

After surgical intervention, structured follow-up is essential for success.
Our partner centers provide:

• Regular nutritional and metabolic check-ups

• Vitamin and micronutrient monitoring

• Psychological and behavioral support

• Body contouring and reconstructive surgery (if needed)

• Rehabilitation programs for lifestyle reintegration

Continuous aftercare ensures weight stability and sustained metabolic improvement.

 

Specialized Programs for Metabolic Health

Beyond obesity, PrimeHealthGermany also provides targeted management for:

• Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus

• Insulin Resistance & PCOS

• Metabolic Syndrome (obesity, hypertension, dyslipidemia)

• Non-Alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease (NAFLD)

• Endocrine Disorders impacting weight (thyroid, adrenal, pituitary dysfunctions)

By integrating endocrinology, nutrition, and behavioral medicine, our programs achieve long-term stabilization of metabolic function and hormonal balance.
