  By Dr. Shruthi Thennati | Kayakalpa Clinic, Vadodara   MBBS, MD, DipIBLM, PgDip Endocrine (UK)   General Physician | Metabolic Physician | Lifestyle Medicine Practitioner Lifestyle diseases are no longer conditions of old age. Today, diabetes, obesity, fatty liver, PCOS, thyroid disorders, hypertension, and metabolic syndrome are increasingly seen in young adults. Yet most patients receive fragmented care — one doctor for sugar, another for thyroid, another for weight, and separate advice for diet. At Kayakalpa Clinic, Vadodara , we follow an Integrated Care Model  — because lifestyle diseases are interconnected, and treatment must be too. What Are Lifestyle Diseases? Lifestyle diseases are chronic conditions strongly influenced by: Poor nutrition patterns Physical inactivity Sleep disturbance Chronic stress Hormonal imbalance Insulin resistance Common examples include: Type 2 Diabetes Obesity PCOS Fatty Liver Disease Hypertension Thyroid dysfunction Dyslipidemia Treati...

  By Dr. Shruthi Thennati | Kayakalpa Clinic, Vadodara MBBS, MD, DipIBLM, PgDip Endocrine (UK) General Physician | Metabolic Physician | Lifestyle Medicine Practitioner Diabetes management is not about temporary sugar reduction — it’s about long-term metabolic control . Many patients experience fluctuating sugar levels despite medication, leading to frustration, fear of complications, and dependence on higher doses over time. At Kayakalpa Clinic , diabetes care goes beyond prescriptions. The focus is on understanding why sugar levels are high and building a sustainable system that helps patients maintain control for years — not weeks. Here’s how Kayakalpa makes that possible. 1. Treating Diabetes as a Metabolic Condition, Not Just High Sugar Diabetes is a disorder of insulin, metabolism, hormones, muscle mass, sleep, and lifestyle.

The good news?  The same principle works in reverse. Lifestyle Medicine focuses on using simple, evidence-based daily habits to correct metabolism, improve insulin sensitivity, and support long-term reversal of diabetes and obesity — often with reduced medication dependence. What Is Lifestyle Medicine? Lifestyle Medicine is a medical approach that treats and reverses chronic diseases by targeting root-cause behaviours , not just symptoms. It focuses on: Nutrition Physical activity Sleep Stress management Circadian rhythm Emotional health Daily routines When practiced under medical supervision, lifestyle medicine becomes a powerful tool for metabolic heal...

  By Dr. Shruthi Thennati | Kayakalpa Clinic, Vadodara MBBS, MD, DipIBLM, PgDip Endocrine (UK) General Physician | Metabolic Physician | Lifestyle Medicine Practitioner Diet plays a powerful role in managing diabetes and obesity  — but only when it is personalised, practical, and medically sound . Many patients in Vadodara struggle because they follow generic diet charts, extreme calorie cuts, or internet trends that don’t address their metabolism. This guide explains what doctors actually recommend for long-term sugar control and sustainable weight loss. Why a “One-Size-Fits-All” Diet Fails Most diet plans fail because they ignore: Insulin resistance Hormonal imbalance Sleep and stress Body composition (fat vs muscle) Meal timing Cultural eating habits Managing diabetes and obesity requires metabolic correction , not starvation. Core Principles of a Doctor-Recommended Diet Plan 1. Focus on Blood Sugar Stability, Not Just Calories Sudden glucose spikes worsen insuli...
