I nearly didn’t share this.
But this is the reality of protecting my transplant chance.
I’ve spoken openly about weight loss, GLP-1, and the questions people ask...even behind your back!
If you’re navigating kidney disease, dialysis or transplant eligibility… this is for you.

This vlog is a personal one.
I’m opening up about my health journey and sharing something I’ve taken time to process before speaking about it openly.
Sometimes you need that space.

Today is World Kidney Day.
Kidney disease is often called a silent condition, and many people do not realise they have it until kidney function has already been affected.
In this episode of Diary of a Kidney Warrior Podcast Pat Simoyi BEM and I discuss 10 signs that could indicate kidney disease.
Raising awareness of these warning signs could help someone seek testing and protect their kidney health.

Did you know this about kidney transplant eligibility?
For every 1 point increase in BMI, there may be around a 9–11% reduction in the likelihood of receiving a kidney transplant.
But BMI doesn’t tell the whole story.
In this episode of Diary of a Kidney Warrior Podcast, I speak with Dr Adrian Brown about:
• How transplant teams assess BMI
• Why BMI alone isn’t enough
• What dialysis patients need to know about transplant eligibility
This is an important conversation for the kidney community.
