Shift Your Fate: Life-changing Wisdom for Proactive Kidney Patients (Volume 1) Risa Simon First edition

The Ultimate "How To" Book For Proactive Kidney Disease Patients Seeking Inspiration, Guidance and Hope For A Better Future. Transplant eligible Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD) patients who fear a life-sentence on dialysis now have an opportunity to bypass the machine and live their best life possible. Author and preemptive kidney transplant recipient, Risa Simon is living proof that dreams do come true for those who are proactively determined to secure your best outcome. After defying her own doctor?s ?get sicker first? advice, the author's ability to bypass dialysis was actualized when she received a live-donor kidney transplant in 2010 from one of the most unexpected volunteers. Call it luck or call it fate, Risa knows the key is in self-advocacy. Not once was Risa daunted after a handful of potential donors were disqualified. Setbacks only made her that much more determined to stay the course and stand up her best shot at a better life. In this book the author?s journey is shared with dauntless candor, inspired wisdom, astonishing (untold) truths?and life-saving facts that kidney patients are rarely, if ever, told. The book was written to empower all CKD patients to insist on seeking the quality of life they deserve, by proactively engaging in their best life plan ?before illness advances and prevents transplant eligibility. This insightful one-of-a-kind resource is chalked full of instructional steps, scripts and tips?and the wildly successful Donor Magnet® system. Even if the reader is already on dialysis waiting for a transplant, they?ll find powerful tools, tips and scripts to become their own best advocate and end-their-wait by pursuing a live-donor kidney transplant.
