A Genetic Bridge Across the Atlantic: Why APOL1 is the Key to Global Kidney Equity. In my work, I have seen the devastating impact of kidney disease on Black individuals across both the U.S. and sub-Saharan Africa. While the healthcare settings differ, the underlying biological driver is often the same: the APOL1 gene.
This gene is a remarkable example of an evolutionary trade-off. It developed to protect our ancestors from the deadly African Sleeping Sickness, but today, it has become a primary driver of the kidney disease epidemic in people of African descent.
The Global Data (2026 Update):
• In the United States: Approximately 15% of African Americans carry the high-risk genotype (two copies), while 50% carry at least one variant.
• In West Africa: In countries like Nigeria and Ghana, the risk is even more concentrated. High-risk genotypes can reach up to 23–28% of the population.
• The Regional Contrast: Interestingly, these variants are nearly absent (

This is a perfect representation of what life looks like for a woman struggling with Hypercompetence.

You are always in performance mode

You are managing your partner instead of relating to them

You are correcting them instead of connecting with them

You are anticipating everyone’s needs, but feeling unseen in yours

You are present physically, but emotionally, and mentally still “working”

You don’t need to become less driven or shrink your ambition
What you need is a new way to transition home.. to yourself

How do you go from high stakes decision maker at work
To present partner, soft mother, and available friend, or sister..

One day in a single shift, I pronounced three patients dead and held three end of life discussions. I stood by a young cancer patient as they refused life-saving treatment.

Back in the Lab, I fought to save patient samples from being discarded due to a bureaucratic nightmare, all while having four grant deadlines and three pending manuscripts.

But that was still not close to a breaking point for me.
The Breaking Point was when I got home, walked in the door, sat in and asked my husband a question.
That was when things hit the fan.

This is a conversation that I have always wanted to have to help women in medicine, because I’ve seen it.

This is a tip of Whats to come
In the full video, I will talk about

• What Hypercompetence really is
• The Signs and Symptoms
• How it Silently affects everyone around you
• How to Transition out of it Intentionally (not abruptly)

Kidney disease is about more than just genes!

Environmental factors like what we eat, pollution, heat stress, and other exposures can have a big impact on kidney health.

Social factors also matter, who has access to care, who faces systemic barriers, and who is most at risk.

Caring for kidneys means caring for people especially those from underserved and underrepresented communities and caring for the environments where they live.

Together, addressing biological, environmental, and social factors is the path to kidney care for all. ❤️

How are you supporting kidney health in your community or workplace?

I am excited to start the year with the announcement of this publication by the Diet CKD and Apolipoprotein L1 investigators, led by two of my amazing mentees in the Ilori lab.

This study examined beverage consumption patterns and their associations with blood pressure and proteinuria among adults with chronic kidney disease (CKD) in West Africa, using data from 494 participants in Ghana and Nigeria enrolled in the Diet, CKD, and APOL1 (DCA) Study.

One key finding:

Using data-driven methods, four distinct beverage patterns were identified, including sugar-sweetened beverage–based and milk-based patterns.
In adjusted analyses, adherence to a milk-and-milk-products beverage pattern was associated with higher systolic blood pressure, with exploratory evidence suggesting stronger associations among individuals with diabetes.

What makes this study especially meaningful is that it is one of the first studies to evaluate beverage consumption patterns specifically in CKD patients in sub-Saharan Africa, addressing a major gap in the literature. The findings highlight the importance of region-specific dietary research and the need for longitudinal studies to inform culturally relevant dietary guidance in CKD.

Thank you to the DCA investigators and are so proud of Tolulope V. Adebile, who started this work before beginning her PhD, and our outstanding medical student, Rayan Djelmami-Hani, who led this as the first author.

If your life stayed exactly the same for the next five years to ten years, what would that actually look like?

It’s an uncomfortable question, not because something is wrong with your life but most people don’t pause long enough to really ask the touch questions before creating plans, year in year out.

Where are you going?
What season of life are you actually in right now?
What do you see yourself outgrowing?
What still fits and what are you holding onto out of habit?

Planning your year shouldn’t be about having everything figured out.
It’s about creating direction so your days don’t keep deciding your life for you.

As a coach, I’ve learned that, in life, real change rarely starts with big moves, it starts with awareness. That awareness of finally realizing you don’t want to keep living on autopilot.

COVID was just 5 years ago.
Another five to ten years will pass either way.

The question is whether you’ll arrive there feeling grounded and aligned, or wondering how you got so far away from yourself, your goals, your values, and your dreams.

You don’t need a perfect plan this 2025. If you could just have clarity, intention, and the willingness to choose on purpose where your life is headed.

The most powerful plan you can make right now is deciding to get the 2.5.10 Workbook to create the direction of your life for the next 2,5,10 years with clarity and intentionality

It’s 50% for the next 30 days because everyone should get their hands on a copy

As a physician or woman in leadership you’ve mastered the art of force. You’ve been trained to operate in a high-testosterone, “push-and-grind” environment. It makes you a life-saver in the clinic, but at home? It makes you brittle.
When you’re stuck in “Doctor Mode,” your marriage becomes a logistical arrangement rather than a romance. You start resenting your partner for “not doing enough,” while simultaneously refusing to delegate because “it’s faster if I just do it myself.”
The Truth: When you over-function, you inadvertently force your partner to under-function.
Breaking the cycle of hypercompetence is the greatest gift you can give your relationship. It’s time to stop being the Manager and start being the Muse.

If you’ve ever sat in a massage chair and felt a quiet exhale you didn’t know you were holding… then you know this feeling: 😌

That relief doesn’t stop at your body, it frees your mind.

For busy professionals like me who carry responsibility, deadlines, and expectations daily, tension doesn’t live only in the shoulders or lower back. It lives in the mind that never fully powers down.

So when the massage chair began its rhythm, something deeper happened to my nervous systems. I felt a relief, and it’s something we all need to feel everyday.

This is what people looking for “stress relief techniques,” or “how to relax after long workdays” need in their life.

I really wanted to take the massage chair home with me 😂

The next time you find yourself around one of these massage chairs, try it! Your body and mind will thank you for it.

Save this for your reminder❤️
