Health Is the Key, a podcast
A User’s Guide to Kidney Health, with Dr. Kristin Meliambro
Wednesday, March 4, 2026
Joining us this month to shed light on the vital work our kidneys perform is Dr. Kristin Meliambro, an associate professor in the Department of Medicine at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai. Dr. Meliambro breaks down just what the body’s “cleaning crew and inventory managers” do for us every day, discusses the various causes of kidney disease and shares steps we can take to prevent illness. She also explains how regular visits to your doctor and healthy lifestyle habits can keep your kidneys going strong for years to come.
Tune in to this month’s Key Note on Wednesday, March 18, when Dr. Meliambro walks us through the process of dialysis and updates us on the latest innovations, including support that can make treatment more manageable.
