Do you ever feel as though your metabolism is stuck in standby mode? Then find out here how to crack your ‘hunger code’ by giving your body what it really needs, rather than depriving it of everything.
👉 Please note: Most weight-loss and detox products only make the problem worse.
Trust scientifically backed studies to show you not only how to solve this problem, but also how to increase your chances of success.
Perhaps you’ve been there: you’re paying closer attention to your diet again. You’re buying extra healthy food, looking up suitable recipes, or ordering supposedly healthy ‘ready-to-go’ meals in jars.
On top of that, you’re exercising more than before: in the mornings or evenings, you force yourself to go for an extra run – and you can really feel it: this is doing me good.
But the scales seem to have frozen in place. Or worse still: those dreaded cravings strike just when you’re actually trying to relax.
When I come home tired and exhausted after a hard day, I’m particularly vulnerable.

👉 From our mid-30s onwards, our hormonal balance begins to change.
Everyday stress, little time for yourself, and a metabolism that isn’t as forgiving as it was when you were 20. Often, what we call ‘lack of willpower’ is actually a desperate signal from our body: a cry for the right nutrients.
If you notice the following symptoms whilst trying to lose weight, you may be suffering from a micronutrient deficiency:
-
⚡ Constant tiredness despite getting enough sleep.
-
🚨 Hair loss or brittle nails (often due to a lack of zinc, biotin or iron).
-
💥 Weight stagnation (the metabolism needs vitamins to act as ‘spark plugs’; if they’re missing, it slows down).
-
🔥 Increased cravings, as the body tries to obtain the missing nutrients from food.
Why traditional diets often fail
You may have noticed: in the past, all it took was a week without sweets and your favourite jeans would fit again. But from your mid-30s onwards, your body seems to start playing by its own rules. This isn’t down to a lack of discipline, but to a biological change.
If we impose radical diets on our bodies during this phase, something disastrous happens: the body becomes frightened. As the hormonal balance (keywords: oestrogen and progesterone) is already more sensitive, your brain interprets a calorie deficit as a ‘famine’.
The result? It clings tenaciously to every fat cell and sends you uncontrollable cravings to force you to eat. And you feel tired, listless and unable to concentrate.
‘Just three days after starting my diet, I began to feel a creeping sense of tiredness and a lack of energy.’ – Sophie, 36, office assistant
As a nutritionist, it is therefore particularly important to me that you ensure your diet has a high nutrient density whilst you are losing weight.
👉 You need to break this cycle – not by saying ‘You’ll get less’, but by saying ‘I’ll give you what you really need’.
By filling the nutritional gaps caused by stress and modern-day life, you signal to your metabolism: “It’s safe. You can relax.” It marks the shift from a metabolic blockage to a smooth, active metabolism.
A number of scientific studies show that targeted supplementation during weight loss not only prevents nutrient deficiencies but can also alleviate specific symptoms such as cravings, low energy and a slowed metabolism.
1. Reducing hunger and appetite
-
Result: Women who took a multivitamin supplement reported feeling significantly less hungry and experiencing fewer cravings compared with the placebo group.
-
Mechanism: it is thought that when there is a micronutrient deficiency, the body sends hunger signals to demand the missing substances (such as zinc or B vitamins). If this requirement is met through supplements, this ‘nutrient hunger’ subsides.

2. Maintaining the metabolic rate
-
Result: In a study of overweight women published in the International Journal of Obesity, taking multivitamins over a 26-week period led to a significantly higher resting energy expenditure compared with the placebo group.
-
Meaning: The female participants burned more calories at rest, which can help mitigate the typical yo-yo effect.

3. Improving energy levels and mental well-being
-
Result: Supplementation with B vitamins and iron in people with suboptimal levels reduced fatigue and improved cognitive performance.

Most studies emphasise that supplements do not replace a balanced diet, but rather complement it. That is also my clear recommendation based on my daily experience in nutritional counselling.
The 3 pillars of your well-being
Imagine if you could ‘wake up’ your metabolism by flooding it with high-quality vitamins, minerals and other nutrients!
❌ No nasty weight-loss drinks.
❌ No complicated regimes.
❌ No pill-popping chaos.
Instead, a simple morning ritual consisting of cold water and a nutrient powder – ready in just 30 seconds – to drink straight away or take with you.
✅ That’s exactly what BIOGENA ONE, an all-in-one supplement drink, does.
Pillar 1: Metabolic Reactivation & Cell Energy
From the age of 35 onwards, the number of mitochondria – the powerhouses of your cells – often begins to decline. You may feel ‘foggy-headed’ and physically sluggish. BIOGENA ONE provides a precise blend of B vitamins, coenzyme Q10 and essential minerals.
The benefit for you: you wake up in the morning with real energy, rather than relying on one coffee after another. When your cells are optimally nourished, your body has the strength it needs to effectively convert fat into energy.
Pillar 2: Hormonal Balance & Stress Resistance
Stress is the biggest enemy of fat burning. High cortisol levels signal the body to store fat, particularly in the abdominal region. BIOGENA ONE contains adaptogens and specific micronutrients that support your nervous system.
The benefit for you: you stay calmer, even when the demands of daily life with work and family take their toll. This protects you from emotional eating and helps tackle that stubborn ‘stress fat’ around your waist.
Pillar 3: Microbiome care for a flat tummy
A bloated tummy and sluggish digestion are often signs of an imbalance in the gut. As 80% of your immune system and key metabolic processes are located in the gut, BIOGENA ONE contains valuable probiotics and prebiotics.
The benefit for you: no more unpleasant bloating after meals. A healthy gut microbiome not only aids nutrient absorption but also regulates your natural sense of fullness. You’ll be able to tell when you’re truly full again.
“I always thought I just needed to try harder. With BIOGENA ONE, I realised for the first time that my body doesn’t need to be punished, but supported. I have energy for my children and finally feel good about myself again.” – Sabine, 42, entrepreneur
👉 You take supplements, and that helps you mentally too – namely, to stay focused on your new, healthy lifestyle!
All-in-one supplement as the ideal addition
As a nutritionist, I have tried various dietary supplements myself, but none have impressed me more than BIOGENA ONE.
BIOGENA ONE offers an all-in-one solution designed to help as many people as possible lead a healthy life.
What makes it special is that, instead of swallowing pills, you receive a daily dose of powder that you mix with water to make a drink. This means you start the day with a good dose of water first thing in the morning.
✅ all 13 Vitamins
✅ 12 Minerals – including magnesium, zinc and iron
✅ Lacto- and bifidus bacteria
✅ 5 Antioxidants
✅ 4 Carotinoids
✅ 3 essential Amino Acids
What has impressed me right from the start is the radical commitment to transparency at BIOGENA. It clearly states exactly what’s in the product and in what quantities. And you can even visit the production facility in Koppl near Salzburg yourself at any time on weekdays.
MY TIP: Only those who have nothing to hide will voluntarily provide transparency regarding ingredients, dosage, the origin of raw materials, bioavailability and production. So do your research into the suppliers behind the products, check the legal notice or company register – and choose manufacturers who have been doing this for a few years...
GOOD TO KNOW: From my own experience, I can wholeheartedly recommend BIOGENA ONE. However, consistency is key here too – you should use it daily for at least 2–3 months so that you can properly assess its effects on your body.
