The 10 Dialysis Commandments

By Tifiro Cook

Tifiro Cook is a two-time kidney transplant recipient who has also thrived on dialysis for over a decade. Learn the essential commandments that everyone should know if they are or have a loved on on dialysis.

Meet Your Coach

Tifiro Cook is a two-time kidney transplant survivor who spent over a decade on both hemodialysis and peritoneal dialysis — all while maintaining a healthy, fit lifestyle. Through that journey, he recognized a critical gap: patients need clear, practical guidance to truly take control of their health.

As an American Association of Kidney Patients certified kidney coach, Coach Cook brings over 30 years of lived and professional experience to every client relationship. As a keynote speaker at National Kidney Foundation Symposiums for over five years, he has collaborated with the National Kidney Foundation, Ohio State University, and Johns Hopkins University Hospital to advance the standard of care for kidney disease patients across the country.

Author of The 10 Dialysis Commandments, Coach Cook walks alongside patients with Stage 3–5 kidney disease — giving them the tools to not just survive, but to thrive!

Feeling overwhelmed on dialysis?

Dialysis Coach

We will coach you on how to thrive on dialysis.

Coach Cook knows exactly how overwhelming dialysis can feel — because he has lived it for nearly 20 years. While going through this, he researched what helped and refined his mindset to develop techniques that allowed him to maintain a healthy, active lifestyle — and even run his own personal training gym! Eager to share this life-changing perspective with the world, he became a kidney disease coach, and has become a sought-after keynote speaker at the National Kidney Foundation's Dialysis Symposiums. Now, his goal is to bring this knoweldge directly to you.

He used this knowledge he worked with YNOTT, working with children on dialysis for 15 years, helping to motivate and inform them on how to eat.
