Kidney disease often develops silently—with no symptoms until you've lost up to 90% of function. But that doesn’t mean it’s irreversible. Dr. Karen Dwyer, a kidney specialist with over 20 years' experience, reveals how most kidney disease, high blood pressure and diabetes share the same root cause: poor metabolic health. You'll learn why the old advice to limit protein with kidney problems is wrong, how insulin resistance drives kidney damage, and practical steps to protect your kidneys through nutrition, sleep and stress management. Dr. Karen shares practical advice and inspiring stories. This episode shows you how to spot the warning signs early and take control of your kidney health before it's too late.

Cardiac Cowboys
The heart was always off-limits to surgeons. Cutting into it spelled instant death for the patient. That is, until a ragtag group of doctors scattered across the Midwest and Texas decided to throw out the rule book. Working in makeshift laboratories and home garages, using medical devices made from scavenged machine parts and beer tubes, these men and women invented the field of open heart surgery. Odds are, someone you know is alive because of them. So why has history left them behind? Presented by Chris Pine, CARDIAC COWBOYS tells the gripping true story behind the birth of heart surgery, and the young, Greatest Generation doctors who made it happen. For years, they competed and feuded, racing to be the first, the best, and the most prolific. Some appeared on the cover of Time Magazine, operated on kings and advised presidents. Others ended up disgraced, penniless, and convicted of felonies. Together, they ignited a revolution in medicine, and changed the world.
