Which foods can help prevent pre-diabetes and diabetes?When you eat, the food you take in is stored as energy so that you have enough "get up and go" to make it through the day. But, when you've stored too much energy and you're not expending enough, this creates insulin resistance and your blood sugar levels go up. This is important to understand, because insulin resistance, pre-diabetes and diabetes are becoming huge health concerns in modern-day society. And, the number-one cause of heart disease and cognitive decline is elevated blood sugar levels and insulin resistance.If you're not exercising regularly or eat too many carbohydrates/sugars, you're not utilizing your energy stores.You can also tailor your diet so that you use energy more efficiently.For instance, eat more smart fats (avocado, nuts, seeds, olive oil). Eat carbohydrates with more fiber and a lower glycemic load (beans, lentils, legumes, leafy greens, asparagus). Avoid carbohydrates like flour-based foods and traditional potatoes.Listen in as Dr. Steven Masley joins host Lisa Davis to explain why foods play a crucial role in preventing diabetes and other insulin-related health conditions.

How can you create your own kitchen ecosystem?Seasoned cooks know that the secret to great meals is this: the more you cook, the less you actually have to do to produce a delicious meal. The trick is to approach cooking as a continuum, where each meal draws on elements from a previous one and provides the building blocks for another. That synchronicity is a kitchen ecosystem.For the farmers market regular as well as a bulk shopper, for everyday home cooks and aspirational ones, a kitchen ecosystem starts with cooking the freshest in-season ingredients available, preserving some to use in future recipes, and harnessing leftover components for other dishes.Author of The Kitchen Ecosystem, Eugenia Bone, joins host Lisa Davis to share more about her philosophy on cooking.

Vitamin D is so essential for optimal health, but many individuals are simply not getting enough and are considered deficient.Vitamin D is so essential for optimal health, but many individuals are simply not getting enough and are considered deficient.The only way to know if you actually are deficient is to get a blood test. You can get too much, so make sure to get a test before you start supplementing.

If you have normal levels of vitamin D, you need approximately 600-800 IUs daily. However, if you're severely deficient, you may need to take thousands of IUs each day.Make sure to take your vitamin D supplements with some sort of fat.To get enough D from the sun, you need to be exposed to direct sunlight (no sunscreen) for 15-20 minutes twice per week.Listen in as Michelle Dudash, Chef & Clean Eating Expert, joins host Lisa Davis to explain the benefits of vitamin D and the best ways to get the nutrient.

Mostly shop the perimeter of the supermarket ("mostly" because things like brown rice, quinoa, and beans are in those middle aisles). 

Color code your veggies. Think of your shopping cart as a Crayola Crayon box. Every color has something that will benefit your health. For example, red foods (strawberries, cherries) are great for heart health. White foods (cauliflower) boost immunity. Orange foods (carrots) contain beta carotene and are full of antioxidants. 

Get some healthy cookbooks (either purchase or at your local library). Look through the recipes and make your list from there. Do your week's meal shopping and preparation on Sunday (or whatever day is your "day off").

Make sure you have certain staples in your pantry, particularly healthy grains (brown rice, quinoa).

Rotate your greens/veggies every day.
