After seeing the intense struggles her mom went through after being diagnosed with interstitial cystitis over 20 years ago, Andrea was terrified to be diagnosed with IC last year. When going through a stressful time at the beginning of last year, she got a UTI out of nowhere and the symptoms never went away. After seeing a urologist and eventually a specialist, she was diagnosed and immediately began trying to find relief through medication, physical therapy, and bladder instillations.
Now, just one year later, she is almost completely symptom-free. And when she does have flares, she has the tools to get rid of them in a matter of days. We discuss how she has managed her symptoms, why focusing on her nervous system was the key to her recovery, and how Road to Remission helped her feel hope for the future for the first time. Andrea shares her story of hope for a normal life with IC by managing her symptoms to the point of being able to swim, go for long car rides, and enjoy almost all foods.

Many people with interstitial cystitis think they have a bladder problem and place a lot of the blame on the food they eat, but today Nicole Cozean debunks these common myths. As a pelvic floor therapist with almost 20 years of experience in the field, she takes an orthopedic approach to treating the pelvic floor. The most effective treatment for pelvic floor dysfunction is physical therapy, which has been proven time and time again.
We also dive into the misconception that the IC diet is the way to recovery, when in reality most people with interstitial cystitis arenât diet sensitive or only have a few diet triggers. Nicole shares how you can reach recovery and how to create a healthy environment along your journey.

Womenâs stress management and mindset coach, Lindsay Dorka, joins Callie this week to share her expertise on how stress affects the body, ways to deal with perfectionism, and how stress is related to interstitial cystitis. With a background in healthcare as as an occupational therapist, she found that the root of many of the issues patients were coming in with could be traced back to one thing: stress.
While stress is normal to a certain extent and helps us survive, chronic stress is not and can manifest through physiological symptoms like pain, issues with digestion, and trouble sleeping. The internal tension of suppressing emotions is more powerful than we may think and can create real problems. But luckily, there is also a solution. Lindsay and Callie discuss the ways we can retrain our brain during states of stress to reduce the physical symptoms and live a better life.

This week, Callie sits down with Dr. Robert Moldwin, a urologist who has worked in the field for over 30 years and specializes in interstitial cystitis and pelvic pain. Dr. Moldwin has witnessed an increase in awareness of interstitial cystitis over that time as more and more people have become aware of it and discusses what can be done to treat it.
Dr. Moldwin believes that every person is so different and there isnât just one solution for people who are experiencing pelvic pain. His treatment approach is to find the underlying cause of the issue and treat that first instead of assuming all pelvic pain is interstitial cystitis. He shares what people struggling with interstitial cystitis and other forms of pelvic pain can do to find solutions with their clinicians to truly make a difference in their lives.

On this weekâs episode, Callie talks to pelvic floor therapist Dr. Zarina Vitebsky. Zarina shares her knowledge and expertise on everything from TMJ, to what to expect when you see a pelvic floor therapist, to how you can handle the changes that come from menopause.
Zarinaâs educational background and studies have helped her develop pelvic floor therapy practices that get to the root of the issues by evaluating the entire body, instead of just one area. She has successfully helped patients find long-term relief by doing comprehensive evaluations that consider a wide range of factors to understand where the problem is actually originating from. Because as she shares on this episode, most of the time the one area causing pain is not the real cause.

Today Callie sits down with Andrew Hollar, the co-founder of Fig, an app designed to make living with food allergies and insensitivities easier and help people with dietary restrictions enjoy food again. After developing and struggling with health issues from 2014-2017, he found a functional medicine doctor who was the first to ask if he had thought about how food might be linked to his symptoms. Within weeks of testing out new nutrition guidelines, 90% of his symptoms were cleared up.
Now, he and his team are on a mission to make living with dietary restrictions easier by providing a way to plan your shopping trips by finding foods that fit your specific needs. They discuss what Fig can do, the power of the elimination and reintroduction diet, and how Fig is committed to creating the best app for its customers through consistent feedback and updates.

Dr. Curtis Nickel, a professor of urology and urologist at Queens University in Kingston, Ontario joins Callie to discuss his work studying and educating people about interstitial cystitis. Dr. Nickel discusses his career trajectory from microbiology to urology and his experiences along the way. As one of the pioneers in research on interstitial cystitis and chronic prostatitis, Dr. Nickel shares his findings and the evidence behind an individualized approach to treatments for IC and chronic prostatitis.
