Nearly 20 million Americans have high blood pressure. Even with multiple medications and healthy lifestyle changes, many patients continue to struggle to get their numbers under control… putting them at greater risk for heart attack, stroke and other serious complications.  But a newly FDA-approved treatment is drawing attention because it works in a completely different way than traditional blood pressure medications giving patients with uncontrolled hypertension more options.  To explain further, we’re joined by cardiologist Dr. Payal Kohli.

Then, postpartum depression is commonly associated with new moms, but it can affect new dads, too. To discuss this and offer some guidance on recognizing symptoms and seeking help, we’re joined today by Dr. Sheehan Fisher, PhD, a psychologist with Northwestern Medicine.
