When two past NLA Presidents and seasoned podcast hosts sit down together, the conversation is bound to be something special. In this Industry Innovations episode, Peter H. Jones, MD, MNLA is joined by fellow lipidologist Alan S. Brown, MD, MHA, MNLA for an in-depth discussion on one of the most clinically nuanced topics in lipid management: statin intolerance.

Together, these two experts bring a combined wealth of experience to the table — tackling statin-attributed side effects head-on, exploring how the latest guidelines address intolerance, and walking through how to navigate patient concerns with confidence. From practical strategies for managing statin-related symptoms to the growing role of non-statin therapies in achieving LDL-lowering goals, this episode is packed with actionable insights for any clinician managing patients with dyslipidemia.
