The risk starts earlier than you think

South Asians accumulate cardiovascular risk by their mid-40s—even with healthier diets and exercise habits than peers.1

Metabolic care built for South Asians

Physician-led. Research-backed.

South Asian Calibrated

Different biology needs different benchmarks. Built on the MASALA Study, the largest U.S. cardiovascular research on South Asians.

Beyond A1c

We track fasting insulin, HOMA-IR, ApoB, and visceral fat via DEXA scan—markers that predict risk years before standard tests show problems.

Direct Physician Access

No PAs. No handoffs. Your physician handles everything.

How it works

01

Initial Consultation

15-minute video call to understand your history, goals, and concerns.

02

Personalized Protocol

Based on lab results, we create a protocol covering nutrition, movement, sleep, and medication if appropriate.

03

Ongoing Support

Async messaging, regular check-ins, and adjustments as your body responds.

Most plans run 1–3 years, then transition back to primary care. We're not here forever — we're here to fix the problem.

“I lived it too. Despite being a physician, I found myself at 26% body fat—‘healthy’ by standard charts, but I knew better. I dropped to 12% through protocols calibrated for South Asian metabolism. That's why I built Agni.”

Dr. Sohan Japa

I earned my MD at Stanford and trained in internal medicine at Brigham and Women's Hospital. Over the past decade, I've practiced at some of the country's top academic medical centers—Mount Sinai, UCSF—caring for thousands of patients across New York and the Bay Area.

Throughout my clinical career as well as in my personal life, I kept noticing the same pattern: South Asian patients doing everything “right” and still developing diabetes. “Normal” BMIs hiding dangerous metabolic profiles. Standard guidelines missing the mark by years. Our biology is different, and the research is clear—but mainstream medicine hasn't caught up.

That's why I started Agni Health.

Frequently asked questions

Do you prescribe GLP-1 medications like semaglutide?
Yes—when clinically appropriate. We prescribe FDA-approved GLP-1s and manage them as part of your care plan. Dr. Japa will review your history and labs to determine fit.
Do you accept insurance?
We are a self-pay practice and do not bill insurance directly. Upon request, we can provide a superbill for potential reimbursement through your FSA or HSA.
Why do you include a DEXA scan?
Standard BMI and weight don't tell the full story — especially for South Asians, who accumulate visceral (organ) fat at lower BMI thresholds than other populations. A DEXA scan measures your exact body composition: visceral fat, subcutaneous fat, lean muscle mass, and bone density. It gives us a precise baseline and lets us track whether your protocol is actually working — not just what the scale says. It's one of the most clinically useful tools we have for metabolic risk assessment, and almost no primary care practice includes it.
Are the labs included in my membership?
Yes — labs are included in your membership. We order a comprehensive panel (CBC, CMP, lipid panel, ApoB, and fasting insulin) drawn at Quest or LabCorp. Lab costs are covered as part of your plan — no surprise bills. DEXA scans are included in the Executive tier.
Can I cancel anytime?
Yes. Your membership is billed monthly and you can cancel anytime, effective at the end of your current billing period. No long-term commitment, no penalties.
How quickly can I get an appointment?
Most new patients are seen within 2–4 weeks of signing up. After your initial visit, follow-up cadence depends on your plan — quarterly for Essential, bi-weekly for Executive. Async messaging is available between all appointments.
What if I need a prescription?
Dr. Japa can prescribe medications as clinically appropriate. Prescriptions are sent directly to your pharmacy and are not included in the membership fee — they're billed separately through your pharmacy, just like any other prescription.
What states are you licensed in?
We're currently accepting patients in California and Massachusetts. We're expanding to additional states — join the waitlist if you're outside these states.
Is this covered under my FSA or HSA?
Medical consultations and lab fees may be FSA/HSA-reimbursable. We provide a detailed superbill upon request — consult your plan administrator or tax advisor for your specific plan's eligibility rules.
