| 24 May 2023 | Ep 58. Are Kegels REALLY The Enemy For Someone With Interstitial Cystitis? | 00:54:25 | |
Pelvic floor health is critical in managing interstitial cystitis for some people, but how do Kegels fit in (or not)? This week, Callie is joined by Darla Cathcart, a pelvic floor physical therapist with over 20 years of experience to talk about kegels and how they fit into pelvic floor health. Dr. Cathcart demystifies Kegels by talking through what they are, why they are used, and who they are appropriate for. Callie and Dr. Cathcart also talk about the intersections of IC, stress, and pelvic floor dysfunction as well as strategies to move stress through the body. Irritants can affect pelvic floor dysfunction as well trigger an IC flare, so callie and Dr. Cathcart talk through how to approach reducing the impact of irritants. Getting in to see a pelvic floor physical therapist can be hard, so Dr. Cathcart also shares some tips on what to do at home to help your pelvic floor. So why might some people need to do kegels and some not? Tune in to find out!

| 07 May 2024 | Ep 72. Is it Interstitial Cystitis, Pelvic Floor Dysfunction, or both? Ft Dr. Nicole Cozean | 01:11:36 | |
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.

| 23 Apr 2024 | Ep 71. Stress-Reduction Techniques and Perfectionism | 00:46:05 | |
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.

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.

We talk about the stigma around men’s pelvic health, the confusion between pelvic floor issues and prostate problems, and how hard it can be for guys to find the right provider—or even feel comfortable enough to ask for help. Lance also explains what chronic pelvic pain syndrome really is, why internal exams can be helpful (but aren’t always necessary), and what men should know if they’re dealing with bladder or bowel issues. Whether you’re struggling with symptoms yourself or know someone who is, this conversation is packed with important insights—and reminders that pelvic health is not just a “women’s issue. About Dr. Lance Frank, PT, DPT, MPH (He/Him) He’s certified in dry needling, trained in Redcord and mat Pilates, and now primarily focuses on pelvic health for all bodies—including men, trans, and intersex individuals.

| 28 Jun 2023 | Ep 62. Interstitial Cystitis Phenotypes with Dr. Curtis Nickel | 00:51:26 | |
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!

| 13 Feb 2024 | Ep 66. The App You Need For IC Diet Restrictions | 00:50:44 | |
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. If you’re looking for a way to feel normal again and not have to stress about grocery shopping, listen to today’s episode and learn more about the journey of Fig. Links: Connect with Fig Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/foodisgoodco/ TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@foodisgoodco Download Fig (Use code “CALLIEK”): https://foodisgood.com/ Sign the Ingredient Transparency Pledge: https://foodisgood.com/ingredient-transparency-pledge/ Work with me: Take my FREE QUIZ to learn what’s holding you back from relief from IC!

This week, Callie is joined by one of her clients, Amy, to talk about her journey with interstitial cystitis and her experience working with Callie. Amy shares her journey to getting a diagnosis, her symptoms, and different therapies and treatments she has tried along the way. Callie and Amy also discuss the lack of education about the IC diet when you’re diagnosed and the impact of following the IC diet long-term. When she started working with Callie, Amy saw the light at the end of the tunnel. Amy started in the IC Collective, then later joined Road to Remission. Now, Amy’s learned her specific diet and non-diet triggers, has go-to flare management and prevention techniques, and how her symptoms and quality of life have changed after joining the Road to Remission.
