Nanette Zumwalt & Mary Beth Barry, Chair, CORE Kidney Foundation

Deborah Kobylt LIVE

Did you know you could have kidney disease and not even know it? It happened to a family member of mine, and it nearly took his life. Please join me in speaking with Nanette Zumwalt and Mary Beth Barry, kidney recipients and ambassadors of the CORE Kidney program, which raises awareness about kidney disease as well as organ donation. Nanette received her kidney from a living donor, while Mary Beth’s donor was deceased. Both women were in dire need of a kidney transplant, and they talk about their unique journeys with us. They also want to educate people about getting screened for kidney disease when they go for their yearly physical through a simple blood test. Kidney disease is a leading cause of death in the U.S., with an estimated 35-million people estimated to have chronic kidney disease. It’s critical to know about your kidney health, how and what to eat to keep your kidney functioning, and well discuss that during our interview. This is a topic a lot of people don’t think about, so we’re here to learn more and get the conversation going. Please join #DeborahKobyltLIVE on all video and audio podcast platforms, and invite your friends, too. I’m your host, #DeborahZaraKobylt, and it’s my pleasure to have you join us.
