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.  Links:  Connect with Nicole Cozean Instagram: @nicolecozeandpt Pelvic Sanity Instagram: @pelvicsanity  Podcast for Patients: Finding Pelvic Sanity Facebook Group: Finding Pelvic Sanity Work with me: Take my FREE QUIZ to learn what's holding you back from relief from IC!

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.  Links:  Connect with Lindsay Dorka Instagram: @wellbeing_with_lindsay Work with me: FREE MASTERCLASS April 23 and 24: Discover IC Relief  Take my FREE QUIZ to learn what's holding you back from relief from IC!

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.
