Episode 46: AAKP Ambassador Gail Glasser's 5th Kidney Transplant Anniversary Special

Épisode 46

samedi 28 novembre 2020 • Durée 32:37

Welcome back! In today's episode, Kent speaks with AAKP's Ambassador, Gail Glasser. We join in celebrating Gail's 5 year Kidney Transplant Anniversary! Gail has lived with kidney disease since she was 18 years old when an undiagnosed strep throat impacted her kidney. Gail's nephrologist was ahead of his time and believed in a treatment plan that was supplemented with specific diets and vitamins. This made it possible for Gail to go 30+ years without requiring dialysis or a transplant. She ultimately received her kidney transplant in November 2015 from a deceased donor and has since been actively involved in awareness building for kidney patients. In addition to her business, Gail works actively with kidney transplant patients to ensure they feel as though they have the tools necessary to take control and live healthy, long lives.

Episode 45: Edward Drake II, Founder and CEO of The YNOTT? Foundation

Épisode 45

lundi 2 novembre 2020 • Durée 37:29

Welcome back! In today's episode, Kent speaks with Edward Drake, II. "Why me?" Ed asked himself when he was suddenly and unexpectedly diagnosed with renal failure at age 20. Then he asked himself "Why not me?" This prompted him to use his negative experience in a positive way—to spread the word that while it is true certain people are at an increased risk, kidney disease can happen to anyone, at any time, and that's why it's so important to get checked early.

Edward received a kidney transplant from a deceased donor in October of 2008, and continues to spread the word about organ donation and early detection through his own charity, the YNOTT? Foundation (Youth Needing Organ & Tissue Transplants), and as a field ambassador for the American Association of Kidney Patients. He frequently visits kidney disease and dialysis patients of all ages, especially young ones like him, mentoring and comforting them with his own story and positive outcome. He also advocates for policies that improve the lives and treatments of those with kidney disease and expand patient choices.

Episode 41: Jennifer Jones - Retired Marine & Active Duty Kidney Warrior

Épisode 41

lundi 12 octobre 2020 • Durée 43:47

Welcome back! In today's episode, Kent speaks with AAKP's Ambassador, AAKP Ambassador Jennifer Jones. A retired Marine Veteran Jennifer's life changed drastically in a matter of months due to kidney disease. Her kidneys began to fail while deployed to Afghanistan which resulted in immediate medical evacuation to Germany to receive a diagnosis of Nephrotic Syndrome. Upon returning to the states, she was immediately admitted as a patient at Walter Reed National Military Medical Center in Bethesda, Maryland. After months of testing and multiple medications, she was diagnosed with Membranoproliferative Glomerulonephritis (MPGN) shortly after her 28th birthday. The cause is unknown and there is very limited information on MPGN Type 1 Idiopathic. Jennifer was medically retired after almost 12 years of service as a Combat Camera Videographer including 3 tours to Iraq and the 1 to Afghanistan which ended her career. Facing physical and mental challenges while living alone with limited assistance from friends and family caused isolation, depression, and even suicidal ideations. She knew that she had to make a decision, is she going to become her own advocate in order to take charge of her health and well-being, or is she going to give up and succumb to this disease?

Jennifer is an incredibly inspirational person and provides some great insights throughout the episode.
