In this episode, Callie talks to Loretta (@yogaforic) about her journey to managing her IC symptoms. Listen to Loretta describe how she did her own elimination diet, did DIY bladder retraining, figure out how to exercise with IC, and why going off birth control was a STRUGGLE. 

On this episode of IC You, I interview Dr. Rebecca Quintangeli, a Pelvic Floor Physical Therapist (PFPT). In the episode, Rebecca shares about her career change from an Athletic Trainer to a PFPT. Callie and Rebecca also discuss what Pelvic Floor Physical Therapy is, who can benefit from it, why you may be pooping wrong, and what being Barefoot Certified means.

In this episode of IC You, Callie talks with Jenna Hayward, who has had IC since her childhood and developed multiple autoimmune conditions in adulthood. Callie and Jenna talk about their similar experiences growing up with IC and dive into the topic of medical PTSD. 

*Trigger warning: Medical PTSD and eating disorders discussed in this episode. 

In this episode, Callie chats with Jess Talbert, a chronic illness mindset coach. Jess discusses her battle to get a diagnosis of chronic Lyme and Celiac disease and how it lead her to become a mindset coach. Jess gives her expert advice for navigating new (and old) relationships, medical appointments, and coming to terms with your interstitial cystitis or other chronic illness.

In the trailer for the IC You podcast, Callie tells you how the podcast got started and what to expect each week.

What starts as a well-meaning attempt to “eat clean” or “cut out bladder triggers” can quickly turn into a fear-driven cycle of food avoidance, isolation, and worsening symptoms.

In this episode, I’m joined by Lauren Smith, MS, RD, LDN—a Philadelphia-based eating disorder dietitian and founder of Lauren’s Balanced Bites—to talk about the dangers of long-term dietary restriction, especially in the IC and chronic illness space (like the good 'ol IC diet).

We discuss:

• The slippery slope from symptom tracking to disordered eating

• The emotional and physical consequences of cutting out too many foods

• How restriction affects digestion, mood, and nutrient levels

• Common signs of under-fueling (even when you think you're eating “healthy”)

• Why one-size-fits-all food protocols rarely work

• How to differentiate between disordered eating and a clinical eating disorder

• The mind-body connection that impacts symptom flares and recovery

This episode is especially important for anyone who’s been told to “just follow the list,” only to find themselves stuck in a cycle of fear, confusion, and second-guessing every bite. We also talk about what reintroducing foods can look like—and why real healing requires more than just symptom management.

If you're tired of trying to do it perfectly and want a more sustainable path forward, this conversation will give you clarity, validation, and next steps.
