Episode 4: Living Kidney Donation: The Gift of Life (with guest Jill Green, PhD)

from Kidney Nutrition Nuggets · host Summer Van Arsdale, RD, CSR, CCTD, LD, FNKF

April is National Donate Life Month, and in this special episode, we’re shining a light on the powerful impact of living kidney donation. Summer sits down with Jill Green, a living kidney donor and Patient Advocacy Director at Otsuka Pharmaceuticals, to share her personal story, what inspired her to say “yes,” how life has changed since donation, and what she wishes others knew about the journey. We’ll also explore how post-donation nutrition plays a role in long-term health and how to start meaningful conversations with loved ones about becoming a donor.
