Medicine first, not willpower
Weight is regulated by hormones, metabolism, sleep and muscle mass, not by discipline alone. We begin with a precise diagnosis and build the therapy around what your body actually needs.
Weight Regulation
Sustainable weight regulation through medical expertise, the Lanserhof Concept and, where appropriate, advanced therapies such as GLP-1 treatments.
Lasting change
follows understanding.

Why weight regulation at Lanserhof
Medical diagnostics, the Lanserhof Concept and, where appropriate, GLP-1 therapy combined into one carefully supervised programme.
What the programme includes
- Metabolic diagnostics and body composition analysis
- GLP-1 therapy under medical supervision, where appropriate
- Nutrition, strength training and long-term planning
What to expect At Lanserhof
-
Weight Loss Injection Management is available in Lans and on Sylt, complemented by our Weight & Sports programme. Your doctor advises which setting and format suit you best.
-
Metabolic diagnostics, laboratory analysis and body composition measurement form the starting point. They show how your metabolism works and where fat mass, muscle mass and water are distributed.
-
GLP-1 therapy is only initiated after a thorough medical assessment and is monitored closely throughout. Dosage, tolerance and side effects are reviewed by your doctor at every stage.
-
Strength training under professional guidance protects and builds muscle while you lose weight. Preserving muscle is what keeps your metabolism active and your results stable.
-
Nutrition follows the Lanserhof Concept: protein-conscious, easily digestible and mindful. You learn portion awareness and eating rhythms that work in everyday life, not only during your stay.
-
Your progress is measured, not guessed. Follow-up diagnostics and a long-term maintenance plan ensure that the weight you lose stays off after you return home.

As individual as you Your programme
Together with our doctors, we define whether nutrition, training, GLP-1 therapy or a combination of these is the right path for you.
Weight regulation at Lanserhof treats body weight as what it is: the result of metabolism, hormones, muscle mass, sleep and daily habits. Instead of another diet, our programmes combine medical diagnostics, the Lanserhof Concept and, where medically appropriate, GLP-1 therapy under close supervision. The goal is a weight that you can maintain, together with a metabolism and a body composition that support your health for years to come.
Weight regulation begins with diagnostics
Every weight regulation programme starts with a medical check-up, laboratory analysis and body composition measurement. These show how your metabolism handles energy, how insulin, thyroid and other hormones are functioning, and how fat mass and muscle mass are distributed. Your doctor uses these findings to define realistic goals and the right combination of nutrition, movement and therapy. Because the plan is based on measurement, progress can be reviewed objectively and adjusted as your body changes.
GLP-1 therapy under medical supervision
GLP-1 based medications can be a valuable part of weight regulation for guests who meet the medical criteria. At Lanserhof, they are never used in isolation. Your doctor assesses suitability, initiates the therapy at an appropriate dose and monitors tolerance and side effects throughout your stay. Weight Loss Injection Management in Lans and on Sylt embeds the therapy in nutrition, strength training and medical follow-up, so that the weight you lose is predominantly fat rather than muscle.
Muscle, nutrition and long-term maintenance
Sustainable weight regulation depends on preserving muscle. Strength training under professional guidance keeps your metabolism active and prevents the loss of lean mass that often accompanies rapid weight loss. Nutrition follows the Lanserhof Concept, with protein-conscious, easily digestible meals and mindful eating rhythms. Before you leave, you receive a long-term maintenance plan with follow-up diagnostics, so that the change you have started continues in your everyday life.
