They have the highest cardiovascular risk, cardiac events for any sort of minority group that's there.

Absolutely.

And there's a lot of things that play in.

You tend to be a lot of doctors, computer programmers, engineers, a lot of people who are sitting, they're not very active.

You know, my dad was pretty active, but I didn't grow up seeing a lot of... I didn't grow up seeing nobody in my community really regularly working out.

It was not a thing.

Instead, it was, you know...

how well can you do on your SATs and what's the best job and university you can get into.

And then I also understood that a lot of Indians also too, there's a higher risk of certain genetic aspects that are related to cardiovascular disease.

There's many people that are hyperproducers of cholesterol and might have familial hypercholesterolemia.

And then I found this to this other bucket, which I was a hyperabsorber.

of cholesterol.

These are people that tend to recirculate high level from what I understood from my cardiologist, cholesterol in their gut, and they have a harder time getting rid of it inside of the system.

And very simple tools can actually help with that.

And sometimes medication could be useful.

And I did end up deciding a few years ago to start on Zetia, a Zetamide, which made a huge difference in my ApoB.

I think I was hovering around like 160, you know, 170.

My highest, I think it was even like 180.

And being on-

just increasing my fiber content and going on Zetia and using a paper coffee filter.
