Today, I’m joined by the remarkable Dr. Robin Rose—a pioneering physician, author, and survivor who refused to accept a devastating kidney disease diagnosis as her fate. Instead of waiting for dialysis, Robin dove deep into the world of diet, detoxification, peptides, and bioregulators, turning her health crisis into a calling and culminating in her groundbreaking new book on chronic kidney disease.
In our conversation, Robin shares why kidneys are often the “forgotten organ,” the real reasons so many cases of kidney decline go undetected, and how lifestyle choices—from protein intake to environmental toxins—can be both the problem and the path to healing. We get personal about the subtle symptoms, practical lab markers, and actionable steps you can take right now to protect your kidney health for the long term.

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.
