Kidney transplant recipient Charlie Cloninger and nephrologist Nauman Shahid discuss their article "How early care saved my life from silent kidney disease." Charlie shares his personal story of being diagnosed with kidney disease while feeling healthy, making lifestyle changes with the help of his care coordinator, and ultimately receiving a transplant before dialysis. Nauman explains how early detection, coordinated care, and proactive treatment models are transforming nephrology and giving patients better outcomes. Together they highlight the importance of patient education, lifestyle support, and health care systems that reward prevention over crisis management. Listeners will take away both a patient's perspective and a physician's insights into how kidney disease care can save lives. Our presenting sponsor is Microsoft Dragon Copilot.

Annie Grenon has strong ties to The Ottawa Hospital.  She was a patient for kidney care years ago and, more recently, for a pulmonary embolism. She's also seen both of her grandchildren born at the Civic Campus, and her late husband received cancer care. It was when her husband was diagnosed with a rare cancer that their family came together to discuss leaving a gift in their will to The Ottawa Hospital. It was about helping other families in the future — forward-thinking to create a healthier tomorrow. (25:31)

Mom Jen Strouse and her hero/son EJ have faced more health challenges in his 10 years than most families will face in a lifetime. Born with just one kidney that wasn't fully functioning, he eventually received a kidney transplant that unfortunately came with even more complications. Through it all, Jen has remained resilient and works hard to create some normalcy for her son. Follow EJ's journey on Facebook here.

In this conversation, Professor Clare Collins speaks with Associate Professor Kelly Lambert about the increasing prevalence of kidney disease, the risk factors, like high blood pressure and diabetes, and the importance of nutrition in managing kidney health. They discuss chronic kidney disease, the significance of protein in urine, blood tests for kidney function, the role of medications and the important role of nutrition for kidney health. A/Prof Kelly emphasizes the benefits of plant-based diets and how they help improve the microbiome and also reduce the production of toxins by gut microbes that can damage the kidneys. They discuss how dietary recommendations for kidney disease vary by stage and focus on managing other health condition as well and how plant-based diets can help manage kidney disease and improve overall health. They also cover acid-base balance and the double-edged sword of potassium because both are affected by diet and impact on kidney function. A/Prof Lambert highlights the need for regular nutrition reviews to help people with kidney disease adapt to any changes in their kidney function and health conditions in order to optimise kidney health and wellbeing.Medicine Today Diabetic kidney disease: the four pillars of therapy https://medicinetoday.com.au/mt/2024/december/feature-article/diabetic-kidney-disease-four-pillars-therapyTry Kelly's Baked Marinated Chicken recipe: https://nomoneynotime.com.au/healthy-easy-recipes/kellys-baked-marinated-chickenTo access the Healthy Eating Quiz: Click on the top right hand 'green button' called 'How healthy is my diet' https://nomoneynotime.com.au/Want a more Personalised Food, Nutrient Assessment Report?

Today, I'm joined by the remarkable Dr. Robin Rose—a pioneering physician, author, and survivor who refused to accept a devastating kidney disease diagnosis as her fate. Instead of waiting for dialysis, Robin dove deep into the world of diet, detoxification, peptides, and bioregulators, turning her health crisis into a calling and culminating in her groundbreaking new book on chronic kidney disease. In our conversation, Robin shares why kidneys are often the “forgotten organ,” the real reasons so many cases of kidney decline go undetected, and how lifestyle choices—from protein intake to environmental toxins—can be both the problem and the path to healing. We get personal about the subtle symptoms, practical lab markers, and actionable steps you can take right now to protect your kidney health for the long term.   FREE GIFT: I made a free gift to thank you for listening: a quick list of my Top 5 Peptides.

Parents are asking a fair question: is what's on the school tray really food? In this episode of the Nutritional Therapy and Wellness Podcast, host Jamie Belz and guest Shari Gilford, NTP (Full Table Nutrition) open the lunchbox and get practical about raising healthier kids—at school and at home. The conversation swings from frustrations to solutions. Listeners will hear why many “kids' foods” are hyper-processed, hyper-palatable, and nutrient-void—and how families can pivot to real, brain-fueling meals without perfectionism or overwhelm. Shari Gilford is a Nutritional Therapy Practitioner who helps children and families build nutrition habits for lifelong health. Through Full Table Nutrition, she educates and inspires families to enjoy fresh, whole foods and be nourished for life. Diagnosed with hereditary kidney disease at age 11, she understands how poor health can disrupt childhood—and why preventing obesity and type 2 diabetes (a leading cause of kidney disease) matters. Her mission is to help transform the health of an entire generation. In this episode, expect: Clear, compassionate guidance on sugar, dyes, and ultra-processed “food-like products,” including why kids average ~17 teaspoons of added sugar/day, how that relates to focus, mood, and classroom behavior, and why protein-first breakfasts change the school day. Practical lunchbox wins: muffin frittatas; meatball “muffins”; leftover taco meat with crunchy chips; tuna or salmon salad for omega-3 brain power; beef sticks; hard-boiled eggs; colorful produce that packs and keeps. Picky-eater strategies that actually work: involve kids in choosing veggies (beet or grated carrot salads, jicama “dippers”), taste-training away from constant sweetness, and fun “compare & prepare” nights to find favorite veggie textures. Smart swaps & step-downs: the sugar-cube visual (4 g = 1 cube), gradual transitions from sweetened to unsweetened peanut butter and yogurt, and moving from juice to whole fruit. A simple at-home experiment kids love: three days of protein-strong breakfasts vs. one high-sugar morning—then track energy, mood, focus, and “battery level.” Parent empowerment: how to teach kids the “why,” build a two-week rotation of packable meals, and make real food doable on busy school mornings. This conversation is hopeful and hands-on—less about guilt, more about doing the next right thing with real food that steadies minds, builds bodies, and sets kids up to thrive.

Diagnosed with juvenile insulin dependent diabetes at age four, Daja Weathers had no idea how her future would look. Although complications later in life led her to a kidney and pancreas transplant, advocating for organ donor awareness and transplantation has now become her mission. 

Dr. Jeanine Cook-Garard learns about chronic kidney disease — a serious condition that affects more than 1 in 7 adults in the U.S., often without any early symptoms. We'll talk about what causes it, who's at risk, and how it can be detected and managed before it leads to kidney failure.  Let's learn how to protect your kidneys and take control of your health from her guest, Dr. Stephen Fishbane, Chief of Division of Medicine for Kidney Diseases and Hypertension, at Long Island Jewish Medical Center and North Shore University Hospital, part of Northwell Health. He is also a Professor at the Donald and Barbara Zucker School of Medicine at Hofstra/Northwell.

In Episode 142 of Diary of a Kidney Warrior Podcast, host Dee Moore sits down with Dr. Vikram Talaulikar—menopause specialist and Associate Professor in Women's Health—to demystify menopause for people living with chronic kidney disease (CKD).   If you've ever wondered whether changing periods, brain fog, poor sleep, hot flushes, joint aches or low mood are “just stress,” menopause, or CKD—this conversation is for you. We explore the menopause transition (perimenopause → menopause → postmenopause), how symptoms can overlap with CKD, and what practical steps you can take right now.   You'll hear about: •Perimenopause vs. menopause—what's normal, what to track, and why one blood test often doesn't tell the full story. •Lifestyle strategies that genuinely help (sleep hygiene, movement, nutrition, supplements to discuss with your team). •Non-hormonal options (including CBT and certain medications) and when they may be considered. •HRT in CKD—safer formulations, delivery routes, and the “lowest effective dose” principle to discuss with your clinicians. •Bone and heart health during and after the transition—and what to raise at your next appointment. •Why timely support matters and how to build a joined-up plan with your GP, kidney team, or menopause specialist.   This episode is compassionate, practical, and designed to help you advocate for yourself. We're also preparing a listener-led Q&A with Dr. Talaulikar—send us your questions! Submission details are in the show notes.   Perfect for: Women with CKD (or their supporters) navigating menopause, perimenopause, postmenopause; anyone curious about evidence-based options—including HRT—in the context of kidney health.     Follow & Subscribe: If this helped you, follow the show, leave a review, and share with a fellow Kidney Warrior.

Nephrologist Timothy Pflederer discusses his article "How value-based care transforms chronic kidney disease management," highlighting how value-based care (VBC) is reshaping the treatment of chronic kidney disease and end-stage kidney disease. Timothy explains how VBC encourages continuity of care through interdisciplinary teamwork, empowers long-term patient engagement, and addresses health inequities that disproportionately affect minority populations. He emphasizes that shifting from a volume-based to a value-based approach supports prevention, improves outcomes, and enhances patient experiences. Listeners will walk away with actionable takeaways on how VBC supports whole person care, integrates support services, and builds a sustainable future for chronic disease management.

GLP-1 medications like Ozempic were designed to treat diabetes—but they're quickly becoming known for weight loss and possible kidney benefits. Kidney doctor Holly Kramer and kidney patients Patrick Gee, and Jane DeMeis, are here to break down what these medications are, how they work, and what people with kidney disease need to know.   In today's episode we heard from: Holly Kramer, M.D., MPH, is a practicing nephrologist who conducts research connecting nutrition and kidney health. Her connection to the National Kidney Foundation was inspired by her mom, who was a dialysis nurse and helped create some of the first dialysis units in Northwest Indiana. Dr. Kramer finds being on the NKF Board important, because it is the largest, patient-centered organization focusing on kidney disease. Her long-term goal is to increase national funding for kidney disease research and to heighten awareness about chronic kidney disease. Jane DeMeis  became involved with the National Kidney Foundation when she was diagnosed in 2018 with stage 4 kidney disease. She is currently on home hemodialysis and the transplant waitlist. Ms. DeMeis was the Director of Education and Organizational Development for U R Medicine Home Care. Part of her responsibilities was working with clinicians in teaching them how to present education to patients. She also was the Chairperson of the Patient Family Centered Care program and worked with improving home care through patient advocacy.  In 2018, Ms. DeMeis retired. She had been fighting CKD along with Psoriatic Arthritis for many years and needed to focus on her health.  She currently serves as a member of NKF's Kidney Advocacy Committee, as an Ambassador for NKF's online communities, and also as a NKF Peer mentor. Her other volunteer activities include being on the Board of the Perinton Food Shelf and working with clients as the Lead Verifier.  She and her husband sing with the Perinton Senior Chorus and enjoy working in their garden. Patrick Gee is a Community Activist, fighting against systemic issues such as poverty, social and racial injustices, criminal justice reform, and education reform. Patrick worked for the Virginia Department of Corrections and the Virginia Department of Juvenile Justice, where during his time in service, he acquired several awards and recognitions. In April 2013, Patrick was diagnosed with Stage 3b End-Stage Kidney Disease (ESKD). He began doing Peritoneal Dialysis (PD) in December 2013. On April 21, 2017, Patrick received a kidney transplant. Patrick has been very passionate in his pursuit to speak on behalf of the underserved, undervalued, and disenfranchised communities of color. Because of this, he serves as an advocate and kidney patient expert for a number of organizations including the NKF, CMS, FDA, KHI, AKF, AAKP and HDU.  Patrick was the 2025 winner of NKF's Celeste Lee Castillo Patient Engagement Award.    Additional Resources: GLP-1 Receptor Agonists NKF Supports Proposal to Expand Access to Weight-Loss Medications   Do you have comments, questions, or suggestions?

Dr. Thomas Weims, Professor at UC Santa Barbara, shares his revolutionary findings on treating polycystic kidney disease through ketogenic interventions. After 25 years of research, his lab accidentally discovered that ketosis dramatically halts and even reverses PKD progression—something previously thought impossible. The medical establishment had long maintained that PKD, a genetic disease affecting 600,000 Americans, was untreatable through dietary means. Yet Weims' research demonstrates that beta-hydroxybutyrate (BHB), the primary ketone produced during ketosis, shows more potent effects than any pharmacological intervention his team tested. In a groundbreaking clinical trial, patients on a ketogenic diet experienced improved kidney function and reduced kidney volume in just three months—the first time such reversal has ever been documented in PKD. Weims explains the science behind this therapeutic approach, how it challenges entrenched medical dogma, and why this metabolic therapy may benefit all forms of chronic kidney disease. This conversation exposes how decades of medical education about diet and kidney health have been based on hypothetical papers rather than clinical evidence, offering hope to millions suffering from progressive kidney conditions.BIG IDEA"What we found more recently is that the progression of polycystic kidney disease is not really driven by gene mutations as previously thought—a patient inherits a bad gene, but that doesn't necessarily mean they will have rapidly progressing PKD."Gary Taubes Contact InfoWebsite: https://uncertaintyprinciples.substack.com/Website: https://garytaubes.com/Send Dr. Ovadia a Text Message.

From Diagnosis to Artivism: Steve's Extraordinary Kidney Warrior Journey   In this powerful episode of Diary of a Kidney Warrior Podcast, Dee sits down with Steve — a passionate creative whose life was forever changed by an unexpected diagnosis of chronic kidney disease (CKD).   At just 30% kidney function and no warning signs, Steve's diagnosis came as a shock. He takes us through the moment his world shifted: a sudden phone call that catapulted him into the reality of dialysis. What follows is a deeply human story of resilience — navigating peritoneal dialysis, transitioning to haemodialysis, and balancing the demands of treatment with the challenges of self-employment in web design.   But this is no ordinary journey.   Steve opens up about receiving his first kidney transplant, the hope it brought, and the heartbreak when things took a turn — sending him back to dialysis and confronting the fragility of life with CKD. Throughout it all, he emphasises the critical importance of self-advocacy in the healthcare system, offering insights that every patient or caregiver needs to hear.   What truly sets Steve apart is how he channels pain into purpose. Through painting, he found not just therapy, but a voice — using art as activism to raise awareness about kidney disease. His work, featured in exhibitions supporting Kidney Care UK, is raw, reflective, and at times, joyfully humorous — a visual diary of his fight and spirit.   The episode builds to a beautiful full-circle moment as Steve shares the emotional story of receiving a second transplant — this time from his brother — and the freedom that followed. His message is clear: creativity can be healing, storytelling is powerful, and no one walking this journey is alone.   If you're living with CKD, supporting a loved one, or simply need a reminder of the strength of the human spirit, this episode will leave you inspired, informed, and deeply moved.   Follow Diary of a Kidney Warrior:

We started out with the Medicare Advantage Minute during which we learned that the "Final Rule" for MA and Part D drug plans for 2026 has been published. Learn 14 (or fewer) exciting things about what the future holds for those plans. In the "Your Medicare Benefits 2025" segment we learn exactly how Medicare would cover Kidney Disease Education. This is an awkward way of saying that Medicare will pay to educate people about the ravages of Kidney Disease. Did you know that Massachusetts is one of only three states that is allowed to design their own Medicare supplement plans? Well, they did a really bad job of it and they don't seem to care at all. Finally, when it comes to GLP-1 drugs fight diabetes and also happen to promote weight loss, they may not be as wonderful as hoped. Six out of 10 patients stop taking these drugs before seeing meaningful results and many health insurance companies have stopped covering them.   Contact me at: DBJ@MLMMailbag.com (Most severe critic: A+)                   Visit us on: BabyBoomer.ORG Inspired by: "MEDICARE FOR THE LAZY MAN 2025; Simplest & Easiest Guide Ever!" on Amazon.com.

Health care executive and patient advocate Aja Best discusses her article, "How early CKD diagnosis can save lives: a transplant survivor's journey." She shares her harrowing personal experience with a delayed diagnosis of IgA nephropathy during pregnancy, which led to a challenging path through dialysis and ultimately to a life-saving kidney transplant. Aja highlights the often-silent progression of chronic kidney disease (CKD), a growing global health crisis, and points to critical gaps in the health care system that prevent timely intervention. The conversation explores the importance of early screening, proactive and coordinated care, the potential of technology and predictive analytics to improve patient outcomes, and the power of patient advocacy. Aja passionately calls for systemic changes and greater awareness to ensure others don't face the same missed opportunities she did. The key takeaway is: Early CKD detection through routine screening and a more integrated, patient-centered health care approach can significantly alter disease progression, improve lives, and reduce the burden of this widespread condition.
