About this area of care
Personalised support for weight, appetite and fitness
Regaining weight after dieting can leave you feeling that you have put in a great deal of effort without finding a sustainable plan. At CALENDULA, obesity treatment begins with understanding the factors affecting your particular body weight: appetite regulation, metabolism, sleep, medicines and usual routines.
Obesity is a chronic condition, not simply a matter of willpower. Fat tissue is linked with hormonal and metabolic processes; assessing abdominal fat accumulation and associated risks is particularly important. At the same time, caring for muscle strength and mobility remains part of weight management.
Our approach combines medical care, personalised nutrition, physical rehabilitation and suitable Ayurvedic restorative methods. The goal is a manageable weight-control strategy that can be maintained after the course.
Who this care is for
- For obesity or excess weight with associated risks.
- For repeated weight regain after restrictive diets.
- For difficulties with appetite and a need to review eating habits.
- For reduced activity, disturbed sleep or hormonal concerns alongside weight changes.
- For those needing nutritional and movement support while receiving prescribed obesity treatment.
Medical assessment and strategy
Weight history. The doctor discusses previous attempts at weight loss, eating behaviour, sleep, activity and medicines. Movement limitations and possible eating disorders are considered.
Metabolic assessment. Weight and body composition, waist circumference, blood pressure, carbohydrate and lipid metabolism are considered together. Additional endocrine, liver and kidney investigations are selected according to the clinical goal.
Medical care. Modern obesity treatments, including medicines affecting appetite, are discussed when indicated. The plan may require long-term support; timing and treatment changes are determined individually.
Personal priorities. Weight loss is not the only concern: preserving muscle function, tolerating the diet and being able to follow the chosen routine in everyday life also matter.
A programme tailored to you
Nutrition. A diet tailored to you considering glycaemic load, food tolerance and daily routine. Attention is given to sufficient protein, dietary variety and achievable changes to habits at home.
Movement. Therapeutic exercise and suitable activity for strength and mobility. Yoga and qigong are adapted to fitness and joint condition.
Medical support. Monitoring wellbeing, appetite, treatment tolerance and changes in body composition. Treatment and the follow-up plan are adjusted where necessary.
Herbal medicine and digestion. Individual Calendula Pharma formulations are selected with regard to current medicines and digestive tolerance. Reviewing your diet and how you respond to different foods helps you find a way of eating you can maintain.
Ayurvedic care. Suitable elements of Panchakarma, oil treatments and massage, with preparation and recovery. The traditional concepts of Agni and Ama describe the Ayurvedic view of digestion and metabolism; treatments are used as additions, not as stand-alone obesity treatment.
Sleep and physical recovery. Work on rest routines, gentle practices, massage and suitable physiotherapy. Metameric and other local methods are considered for separate concerns.
Course content and duration are determined after the initial examination, considering indications, contraindications and current treatment. Weight changes are assessed alongside body composition and wellbeing, without promises of a specific number of kilograms lost.
Course goals and final consultation
You receive a personalised nutrition, activity and medical support plan, self-monitoring criteria and review dates. The course provides a well-founded strategy for ongoing weight management, not short-term dietary restriction that is difficult to maintain at home.
