** FREE Heart Health Event in Houston: Learn 5 Life Saving Heart Tests + Doctor Q&A & Win a Free Scan**

South Asians face a 4x higher risk of heart disease, often at younger ages — even if we’re slim, vegetarian, or don’t smoke. There are 5 essential medical tests that could save your life — but many doctors aren’t ordering them, and most South Asians don’t even know they exist.

### What You’ll Learn:

  • Why South Asians are genetically and culturally at higher risk
  • 5 critical tests (like ApoB, Lp(a), Calcium Score) that reveal hidden dangers
  • Why "normal" BMI doesn't apply to us — and what to watch instead
  • How common Indian foods affect heart risk
  • What bloodwork numbers really matter
  • How to ask your doctor the right questions
  • Family health planning for long-term prevention

### What’s Included:

  • Educational talk with visuals (in easy-to-understand terms)
  • Action plan handout with “Your Heart Numbers”
  • How to discuss South Asian-specific testing with your doctor
  • Networking with Houston’s first South Asian heart health community
