If you’re dealing with interstitial cystitis, overactive bladder, pelvic floor dysfunction, pudendal neuralgia, or just stuck in the chronic symptom spiral, this episode ft Dr. Howard Schubiner is a must-listen.

We dig deep into how your brain and nervous system play a huge role in symptoms like urgency, frequency, pain, burning, fatigue, dizziness... you name it. And no, that doesn’t mean it’s “in your head.” It means your brain and body are in constant conversation, and when your nervous system’s on high alert, your symptoms follow.

Here’s what we get into:

• What neuroplastic pain actually is and why it matters
• Why the traditional way interstitial cystitis is diagnosed and treated is flawed
• What the research says (including the Boulder back pain study)
• Why having Hunner’s lesions or “angry bladder” findings doesn’t rule out neuroplastic symptoms
• How to use the FIT criteria to evaluate your own symptoms
• Emotional patterns like perfectionism, people pleasing, and needing to fix it ASAP
• What Pain Reprocessing Therapy (PRT) and Emotional Awareness and Expression Therapy (EAET) actually look like in practice
