Join host Peter Jones, MD, MNLA for a conversation on the evolving landscape of metabolic health in youth. In this episode, Dr. Jones is joined by two leading pediatric experts—Don Wilson, MD, FNLA and Amy Shah, MD, FNLA—to explore practical strategies and emerging research on managing lipids and metabolic syndrome in younger populations.

The discussion highlights key findings from their recently published special issue in the Journal of Clinical Lipidology, offering listeners evidence-based insights and clinical pearls to improve outcomes in pediatric and adolescent care. Whether you’re a clinician, researcher, or simply passionate about preventive cardiometabolic health, this episode delivers expert perspectives you won’t want to miss.

Rewriting the Risk Equation: The Expanding Role of Lp(a) in Atherosclerotic Disease

Hosted by Dr. Underberg, the Rewriting the Risk Equation: The Expanding Role of Lp(a) in Atherosclerotic Disease podcast is designed to equip clinicians with the latest evidence on Lp(a) biology, screening strategies, and current and emerging therapeutic options. Along with Drs. Soffer, Kulkarni and Wilkinson, they will explore the integration of Lp(a) assessment into routine practice, implications for high-risk populations including those with familial hypercholesterolemia (FH), and strategies to mitigate cardiovascular risk until targeted therapies become available.
