Health Is the Key, a podcast
New Cholesterol Guidelines and the Link to High Blood Pressure, with Dr. Mary Gover
Wednesday, May 6, 2026
For High Blood Pressure Education Month, we sit down with Dr. Mary Gover, a general internist at Montefiore Einstein Advanced Care, to discuss how a healthy blood pressure (and cholesterol levels) can help lower the risk of heart disease and stroke. Dr. Gover breaks down all the numbers, explains how the new cholesterol guidelines can identify those at risk earlier and shares lifestyle habits that can keep both cholesterol and blood pressure in the healthy ranges.
Also, tune in to this month’s Key Note on Wednesday, May 20, when Dr. Gover discusses alternatives to traditional statin medications and why they may be a better option for those trying to lower their cholesterol.
