In this powerful and personal episode, I share my postpartum journey—how intense stress, sleep loss, and a colicky newborn triggered a sudden interstitial cystitis (IC) flare. I walk you through the science behind stress, gut dysbiosis, and oxalate overload—and how they impact the bladder. Most importantly, I reveal the exact steps I took to stop my symptoms before they became chronic. From PEMF and probiotics to biofilm disruptors and custom formulas, this is a must-listen if you're navigating IC, chronic UTIs, or flare recovery. You are not alone—healing is possible. 💛
