A lot of Black men don’t talk about their health. Not with friends, not with family, not with anyone. LaVon and Tony break down why—and why that needs to change.
This is what Barbershop Talks is about. Real conversations about men’s health - no filter, no fluff.

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.

A blood clot comes with a diagnosis. It also comes with a hundred questions.
So does AFib. So does high blood pressure. So does high cholesterol.
After any vascular diagnosis, clarity matters. That’s why we built a free community where patients and clinicians talk openly about vascular health.
No Google rabbit holes. Just answers. Join us at the link in bio.
Blood clots aren’t always random. �Sometimes there’s a genetic predisposition called thrombophilia — and understanding it can help you make smarter decisions.
We’re talking about what it is (and what it isn’t) in our next Ask the Expert group.

Valentine’s Day is all about hearts ❤️ Which is funny, because the brain is technically running the show.
For most of history, we believed the heart was the center of love, emotion, and heartbreak. �Science has since corrected us — feelings start in the brain. �But here’s the part we don’t talk about enough:��
Strong emotions still affect your heart in very real, physical ways.
So this #HeartHealthMonth, consider it a reminder: romance is poetic, stress is physical, and your heart definitely knows the difference.�
Living with a vascular condition comes with real questions — and they don’t all fit into a doctor’s visit.
The VLN Community is a free, welcoming space where people connect, share experiences, and learn from clinicians and each other along the way.
