Kidney
Grateful for This Conversation....
This week, I had the honor of recording a new TransplantLyfe podcast episode with Tim Andrews, and wow… this conversation really stayed with me.
Tim made history by receiving a genetically modified pig kidney that worked for nine months. He’s now back on dialysis and waiting for a human kidney, but his willingness to step forward and move science ahead has already made a huge impact on the transplant community.
We talked openly about hope, resilience, and what it means to keep going when the journey isn’t easy. It was honest, emotional, and incredibly meaningful — and a powerful reminder of why sharing patient stories matters so much.
I’m really grateful to Tim for trusting me with his story and for everything he continues to do for future transplant recipients.
I’ll add the episode link here — I hope you’ll take a listen. The episode is available on Spotify, Apple Podcasts, and wherever you usually listen to podcasts.

Great podcast!! Cannot way to hear what others thought. I was in awe by you @Jeanmarie and how you handled it but of course also Tim being so open and honest. About innovation as a source of hope, the brutality of dialysis and the reality of being in end stage disease…
Thank you for sharing this.
It was a really hope-filling episode and such a fascinating case!
