Nearly half of American adults have high blood pressure, over 70 million have high cholesterol and one in 10 has diabetes. According to IFHS Nurse Practitioner Greg Walter, these three diseases often go hand-in-hand as part of metabolic health. He said that one set of simple lifestyle changes can help tackle all three.

For this episode of "Island Interviews", KUCB’s Sofia Stuart-Rasi sat down with Walter to discuss practical, accessible changes Unalaskans can make at the grocery store, at home and in their daily routines to reduce their risk of these conditions.

Sofia was born and raised in the Rocky Mountains of Colorado. She’s reported around the U.S. for local public radio stations, NPR and National Native News. Sofia has a Master of Arts in Environmental Science and Natural Resource Journalism from the University of Montana, a graduate certificate in Documentary Studies from the Salt Institute and a Bachelor of Arts in Studio Arts from the University of Colorado Boulder. In between her studies, Sofia was a ski bum in Telluride, Colorado for a few years.
