Health conversations don’t usually happen in a barbershop, but maybe they should.

Barbershop Talks is built on real talk and real stories - because this stuff hits different when it’s coming from someone who’s actually lived it.

Tony’s story is first. It starts with a number he didn’t know—and ends with a completely different way of thinking about his health and his family.

Most people have never heard of Lp(a). But it’s one of the biggest hidden risks for heart disease.

Tony shares what it was like being diagnosed with high Lp(a) and cholesterol, and the moment he realized this was something he’d likely been living with his whole life.

This is Barbershop Talks, a new series featuring real conversations about real health.

🧪 You only need to test once.
👉 Ask your doctor about an Lp(a) test. It’s a quick add on to your annual physical. Know your numbers.
