Welcome back!

In this episode of The Pelvic Power Podcast, I sit down with Marry Cotter, a chronic UTI and interstitial cystitis (IC) survivor turned nutritionist, for an open and honest conversation about bladder health.

Mary shares her personal journey of being told her symptoms were “normal,” navigating confusing diagnoses, and eventually discovering a different path forward.

Together, we talk about:

• the overlap between chronic UTIs and IC
• why so many people feel dismissed or misunderstood
• the role of the urinary and vaginal microbiome
• how nutrition can support healing (instead of being something to fear)
• and what it looks like to take a more personalized approach to bladder symptoms

This episode is a mix of personal experience, education, and real conversation — for anyone who has ever felt confused or alone in their bladder health journey.
