She's on Dialysis and Loving Life - Her Strategy and How Probiotics Helped

Описание: Episode 375: She’s on dialysis and still camping, traveling, laughing, and living life loud. In this Dadvice TV interview, Christina and Michael share the mindset and real-world system that helped them stop “living to do dialysis” and start doing dialysis to live, including how they made home dialysis work even when doctors told them “no.”

Christina walks through her journey from kidney disease as a teen to transplant challenges, then fighting for independence on Peritoneal Dialysis (PD) and later home hemodialysis, including the “think outside the box” tricks that helped her safely do PD as a legally blind patient.

Michael shares what it really looks like being a dialysis caregiver / care partner, the stress behind the scenes, and why he created a community when he couldn’t find support. They also break down why nocturnal home hemodialysis gave them their days back, and how consistency and discipline can change everything for both the patient and the caregiver.

You’ll also hear Christina explain how gut issues can become a daily battle in kidney failure and dialysis, and how she found a routine that helped her feel more steady and energized. She shares her experience with probiotics and a renal multivitamin made for kidney patients, plus why it mattered to her that the multivitamin had no potassium and no phosphorus.

They are living proof that you can still chase life while on dialysis, even off-grid, and that advocacy matters. Ask the questions. Push for answers. Build a plan that fits your life.

In this episode we cover:
Home dialysis vs in-center dialysis
PD (Peritoneal Dialysis) and Home Hemodialysis
Nocturnal home hemodialysis and how it frees up your day
Dialysis caregiver teamwork and support
Travel and living fully on dialysis
Probiotics, renal multivitamins, and gut health support (their personal experience)

Important: Dialysis and travel plans should always be discussed with your nephrologist and dialysis team first.
