Welcome to Gift of Life – The Organ Transplant Podcast. I’m your host, BJ Odom.

Today’s episode is a powerful reminder we all need: if something doesn’t feel right, don’t ignore it. Our guest, John Perkins, learned this lesson in the hardest way. What began as a nagging sense that something was wrong eventually led him down the road of needing not one, but two life-saving transplants—a liver and a kidney.

John’s journey was long and painful, filled with challenges not only for him but for his entire family. At one point, it would’ve been easy to give up. But thanks to the encouragement of a hospital employee, John found the strength to keep fighting for his life.

In this conversation, John shares his story of resilience, hope, and the importance of paying attention to your body—and why seeking medical help early can make all the difference. This is an episode you won’t want to miss.
