  • 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 aren’t 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.

  • Women’s 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 talks to Laura Santurri, a board chair of the Interstitial Cystitis Association. Laura is an IC warrior of 25 years with a background in public health, and is passionate about patient education on managing chronic diseases, like interstitial cystitis. Laura discusses the importance of making decisions about our health care including taking into account your preferences and needs, the expertise of your interdisciplinary healthcare team, and the best evidenced-based data or research. Laura emphasizes that a provider and patient relationship should be open to communication, trustful, and makes you feel like your needs are heard, which has been shown to tremendously help with positive health outcomes! Callie and Laura also explain the difference between evidenced-based and non-evidence-based information on the internet, social media, support groups, and literature and how we can decipher what information is credible.

  • 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 isn’t 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 week’s 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.

    Zarina’s 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.

  • 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. Dr. Nickel, as a professor, also sees how little discussion of IC happens in medical school and training. He talks about his approach to educating urologists to better treat IC. Being a physician in Canada is much different in practice than in the United States, especially treating IC and Dr. Nickel discusses these differences, from treatment approaches and reimbursement for physicians to guidelines for diagnosis and treatment. Dr. Nickel also breaks down the “phenotype system” approach to treatment he developed. The episode wraps up with Dr. Nickel discussing other aspects of treating IC he utilizes including mental exercises, patient education, and elimination diets. Tune in to hear from a physician and IC expert and his advice for patients!
