On this episode of Wellness Waves on a Wednesday, hosts Donovan Broussard and Tully Bennett sit down with patient advocate Pesh Patel to explore his dramatic kidney disease diagnosis, life on dialysis, and the realities of kidney transplant and living donation.

They discuss warning signs, prevention through diet and movement, the transplant process (including paired donations), mental health during treatment, and practical tips for monitoring kidney health and finding resources.

Healing occurs and wellness is maintained when a partnership of trust exists between a proactive patient and a caring doctor who educates and empowers.
