In this episode, we are diving into a topic that—quite literally—gets people's blood pumping! We are looking at the brand new, 2025 American Heart Association and American College of Cardiology Hypertension Guidelines (AKA The PREVENT Standard), and to help us decode this massive document, we've got Dante DiMatteo (PharmD) in the hot seat.

The medical community is calling this a "watershed moment." We're moving from just looking at a number on a cuff to understanding the whole system—heart, kidneys, and metabolism. So what changed? What does it mean for you and your health? Generation Health explains it all!
