Episode 145 — Healthy Heritage Series: African Foods & Kidney Health (Part 1)
African food is filled with memory, flavour, culture and community — and Kidney Warriors deserve to enjoy the dishes they love with confidence. In this Black History Month special, brought to you in partnership with Kidney Care UK, Dee is joined by renal dietitians Timi and Tadala, contributors to the Kidney Kitchen African & Caribbean Recipes magazine.
Together, they share practical tips for adapting traditional African meals for kidney health, including reducing potassium, salt and phosphate, choosing herbs and spices wisely, and preparing dishes such as Jollof rice, greens and cornmeal without losing cultural identity or flavour. Whether you are living with CKD, on dialysis, post-transplant, or supporting a loved one, this episode will empower you to enjoy heritage foods with knowledge and balance.

The Brothers Ortiz
The Brothers Ortiz is the story of two brothers–both successful, but in very different ways. Gabe Ortiz becomes a third-highest ranking officer in all of Texas while his younger brother Larry climbs the ranks in Puro Tango Blast, a notorious Texas Prison gang. Gabe doesn’t know all the details of his brother’s nefarious dealings, and he’s made a point not to ask, to protect their relationship. But when Larry is murdered during a home invasion in a rented beach house, Gabe has no choice but to look into what happened that night. To solve Larry’s murder, Gabe, and the whole Ortiz family, must ask each other tough questions.
