If you want to connect with Faith or explore her work, her links are in the episode description.]]></itunes:summary><itunes:duration>2857</itunes:duration><itunes:explicit>false</itunes:explicit><itunes:image href="https://d3wo5wojvuv7l.cloudfront.net/t_rss_itunes_square_1400/images.spreaker.com/original/50cf530536d83c163ef388d84bc4a1b8.jpg"/><itunes:episodeType>full</itunes:episodeType></item><item><title>Pelvicology: The Psychology-Infused Approach to Healing Interstitial Cystitis and OAB</title><link>https://www.spreaker.com/episode/pelvicology-the-psychology-infused-approach-to-healing-interstitial-cystitis-and-oab--74821391</link><description><![CDATA[In the past two seasons of IC You, you’ve heard me and my guests talk about the nervous system’s impact on bladder symptoms.

I offer practical advice on how to help, including validating your loved one's experiences, learning about the condition, and creating a supportive environment. Additionally, I highlight common triggers for IC symptoms and emphasize the need for empathy and encouragement while avoiding harmful behaviors.]]></itunes:summary><itunes:duration>2632</itunes:duration><itunes:explicit>false</itunes:explicit><itunes:image href="https://d3wo5wojvuv7l.cloudfront.net/t_rss_itunes_square_1400/images.spreaker.com/original/3af51aaff319d276ef0a0a1a8144ff2f.jpg"/><itunes:episodeType>full</itunes:episodeType></item><item><title>Pelvic Floor Physical Therapy Q&amp;A: What to Expect, What’s Normal, and When To Expect Results</title><link>https://www.spreaker.com/episode/pelvic-floor-physical-therapy-q-a-what-to-expect-what-s-normal-and-when-to-expect-results--74821388</link><description><![CDATA[If you’ve been avoiding pelvic floor PT because you’re scared, overwhelmed, or not sure it will help, episode 99 of the IC You podcast is a must-listen!<br /><br />In the episode, I sat down with Dr. Loren Carver, a pelvic floor PT, to ask her questions about:<br /> ➡️ How pelvic floor dysfunction can mimic IC and OAB<br /> ➡️ Why constipation is never “just a side issue”<br /> ➡️ What to expect in your first pelvic floor PT visit<br /> ➡️ Green flags and red flags when choosing a pelvic floor PT<br /> ➡️ How to avoid symptom flares after sessions<br /><br />We also talk about tools like pelvic wands vs. dilators, how long it actually takes to see results, and why bowel health is the real bladder health.]]></description><guid isPermaLink="false">https://app.pigeonpod.cloud/feed/2094979248303435778/episode/2094979254318067735</guid><pubDate>Tue, 12 Aug 2025 14:50:09 +0000</pubDate><enclosure url="https://api.spreaker.com/download/episode/74821388/2094979254318067735.mp3" length="61800460" type="audio/mpeg"/><itunes:author>hug</itunes:author><itunes:subtitle>If you’ve been avoiding pelvic floor PT because you’re scared, overwhelmed, or not sure it will help, episode 99 of the IC You podcast is a must-listen!

Remission, she had 8/10 pain and cried nearly every day because of it. <br /><br />She was struggling HARD with food fear and not knowing which foods were “safe” for her and wouldn’t throw her into a major flare. <br /><br />Her quality of life was nowhere near where she wanted it to be and had to miss out on countless experiences in college because of her IC.<br /><br />No meds, procedures, or doctors were helping her...with some even telling her there was nothing more they could do for her. <br /><br />She felt hopeless about her future.<br /><br />One day, she decided she wasn’t living the life she wanted and wasn’t going to let herself continue on that dark path, so she joined R2R.<br /><br />Here are some other major wins Gianna had inside R2R:<br />👉🏻She isn’t afraid to try new foods anymore...she reintroduced ketchup, chocolate, strawberries, bananas, onions, garlic, and gin back into her diet!<br />👉🏻She went out with some friends last weekend and had a couple of drinks<br />👉🏻She’s no longer afraid to have a flare. R2R gave her the tools to manage them confidently<br />👉🏻Her baseline pain levels have been cut in HALF<br />👉🏻She cut her trips to the bathroom in HALF and now urinates only 7-10x per day (compared to 15-20)<br /><br />While Gianna does not currently consider herself in remission, her symptoms have significantly reduced, and she wholeheartedly believes she will reach remission in the near future. <br /><br />Her favorite part of the program was the R2R community. Each week, she showed up to group calls to ask questions &amp; get support but to connect with the other R2R members who can relate to what she goes through.<br /><br />She actually realized through chatting with my team &amp; other members on group calls (in addition to the elimination diet) that her root causes were NOT food-related but were actually pelvic floor dysfunction &amp; nervous system dysregulation (yup, just like mine &amp; so many other R2R members).<br /><br />Her advice to anyone struggling with IC?<br /><br />“I hope that if you’re at the point where you don’t know how to continue with your life and what to do next, you choose to join Road to Remission...I wish I had joined sooner.”<br /><br />Head to https://www.callieknutrition.com/road-to-remission to apply!]]></description><guid isPermaLink="false">https://app.pigeonpod.cloud/feed/2094979248303435778/episode/2094979463122169975</guid><pubDate>Fri, 15 Sep 2023 11:20:52 +0000</pubDate><enclosure url="https://api.spreaker.com/download/episode/74821296/2094979463122169975.mp3" length="3312616" type="audio/mpeg"/><itunes:author>hug</itunes:author><itunes:subtitle>When Gianna first joined Road To Remission, she had 8/10 pain and cried nearly every day because of it.

Since she had significant relief from her syptoms due to the instillations, she wanted to delay the start of her elimination diet until her symptoms returned. <br /><br />Despite having that symptom relief, Jean has been on almost every group support call we've hosted since she joined the program.<br /><br />Why? Because she loves our community and the information she learns through attending these calls. <br /><br />As her symptoms recently returned, Jean has decided it's time to jump into the elimination diet process and feels very prepared for what the next few months have in store. <br /><br />With the support of my team and Road To Remission, Jean feels hopeful that she will be able to reach remission in no time. <br /><br />The new &amp; improved R2R program allows for flexibility if you are not ready to start the elimination diet process right away, like Jean.<br /><br />We now have 2 tracks in the program - one for those ready to start the diet, and one for those not ready to start the diet. <br /><br />If you are not ready to begin your elimination diet right away, but still want education and support, you can join NOW. <br /><br />No matter where you are at on your journey, Road To Remission can help you get relief ASAP. <br /><br />We have 10 spots left at the current price before the price of R2R goes up by $500.

Because she loves our community and the information she learns through attending these calls. <br /><br />As her symptoms recently returned, Jean has decided it's time to jump into the elimination diet process and feels very prepared for what the next few months have in store. <br /><br />With the support of my team and Road To Remission, Jean feels hopeful that she will be able to reach remission in no time. <br /><br />The new &amp; improved R2R program allows for flexibility if you are not ready to start the elimination diet process right away, like Jean.<br /><br />We now have 2 tracks in the program - one for those ready to start the diet, and one for those not ready to start the diet. <br /><br />If you are not ready to begin your elimination diet right away, but still want education and support, you can join NOW. <br /><br />No matter where you are at on your journey, Road To Remission can help you get relief ASAP. <br /><br />We have 10 spots left at the current price before the price of R2R goes up by $500.

Brittany helps people break free from yo-yo dieting and heal their relationship with food and body. We chat about food fear created by the IC diet.
