50 Peaks, One Kidney: Dr. Matthew Harmody’s "Ascending America"

Show Notes: We sit down with retired physician, Dr. Matthew Harmody, whose life took on new purpose after becoming a living kidney donor in 2017. What began as a personal decision to give the gift of life has grown into a powerful mission of advocacy, and his advocacy has reached new heights, literally. Dr. Harmody, alongside four fellow living donors, set out to climb the highest peak in every U.S. state in just 41 days. Dr. Harmody is proving that organ donation is the beginning of a bold new chapter. His book, Ascending America chronicles breathtaking summits, and the science behind why living donors often thrive after donation. In our Mental Health Moment, we discuss how to prioritize rest and hone in on the type of rest that is restorative, and then, honor hero Dexter Landry.
