Welcome to a special episode of Diary of a Kidney Warrior podcast where our host, Dee Moore, interviews the inspiring Kay Allardyce. Kay, an osteopath Pilates instructor, author, and mom from Bromley, England shares her personal journey from kidney disease diagnosis to transplantation, and her quest for family planning while living with CKD.
This episode shines light on the issues surrounding CKD, fertility, and the impacts of pregnancy during and post kidney transplantation, offering vital insights on this commonly overlooked issue. Kay's transformative life post-transplant, from constant fatigue to London to Paris cycling enthusiast, presents a compelling snapshot of the transformative power of organ donation.
Join us, as we undertake a deep dive into Kay's inspiring journey with kidney disease, her experiences balancing dialysis, transplantation and planning a family, and her advice for other CKD patients contemplating starting their own families. Kay bravely battles CKD, while sharing the powerful tools she used: maintaining physical fitness and a healthy lifestyle.
Not only does she share her personal experiences, but Kay offers resources and contacts for others scouting for information and guidance on handling kidney transplants. Her motivating words bring hope and reassurance that a diagnosis of kidney disease isn't the end but a chance to open new doors with the effective management of kidney disease through communication.
