This episode of "How Do You Keep Well?" with Dr. Jaiye and special guest Dr. Raymond Ladele, a GP specializing in diabetes and weight management, dives deep into the science and practicalities of blood sugar control, weight management, and the unique challenges women face especially around menopause. The conversation is rich with actionable advice, expert insights, and real-world strategies for prevention and sustainable health.

Blood sugar isn’t just a concern for those diagnosed with diabetes. As Dr. Raymond Ladele explains, glucose is the body’s primary fuel, impacting:

• Energy levels: Spikes and crashes can leave you feeling exhausted or irritable.
• Mood: Fluctuations in sugar level can trigger anxiety, low mood, or even depressive symptoms.
• Weight: High insulin levels promote fat storage, especially around the abdomen, increasing the risk of metabolic diseases.

Key Insight:
Managing blood sugar is foundational for overall wellbeing, not just for diabetes prevention.

“If your routine is a healthy one, you’ve already won half the battle when it comes to willpower.”
- Dr. Raymond Ladele.
