Overweight
Overweight has many possible causes – physical, soul-related and social. At the Kyborg Institute we consider above all the soul-related side – sensitively and expressly without attribution of blame. Our view is worldview-based and replaces no medical assessment.
Eating as comfort – our reading
In our reading, eating can sometimes be an attempt to fill an inner emptiness – to ease stress, grief, loneliness or dissatisfaction. Whoever finds more attention, meaning and joy of life needs such ways of comfort less often. That is a sensitive observation – no diagnosis, no judgement and no “self to blame”.
What really helps
Whoever wants to change something finds support in professional accompaniment: medical clarification of possible physical causes, dietary counselling, movement that does good, and – where helpful – accompaniment for the soul-related background. A friendly, patient handling of oneself is more important thereby than pressure.
What does that mean in practice?
- With a wish for change, use medical / dietary help.
- Attend to the soul-related background – without devaluing yourself.
- Understand the soul-related view as a supplement, not as a method.

Frequently asked questions
Does an energy pyramid help with losing weight?
No. This product-related claim of effect we have removed. There is no object that makes weight 'disappear'. Whoever wants to lose weight finds support with a doctor or dietary counselling.

A friendly handling of oneself and – if wished – professional accompaniment: medical clarification of possible causes, dietary counselling, movement and support with the soul-related background.
