If you’ve been living with interstitial cystitis (IC), you know how exhausting—and expensive—it can be to piece together a healing plan. Maybe you’ve tried diet changes, pelvic floor PT, supplements, or hours of online research—only to end up with conflicting advice and no clear roadmap.
What if, instead of juggling multiple appointments and guesswork, you had a complete, physician-designed framework in one place?
That’s exactly why I created the Happy Bladder Program.
IC Is Multifactorial—Your Plan Should Be, Too
In my clinical experience, single fixes rarely create lasting change. IC symptoms are shaped by several interacting drivers—nutrition, pelvic floor tension and coordination, bladder conditioning, stress reactivity, and sleep. When you address them together, in the right order, they reinforce each other.
This program is clinically designed to integrate:
- IC-specific nutrition to identify personal triggers and lower irritation
- Pelvic floor education and bladder retraining (home-based, video-guided; no internal care via telehealth)
- Neuro-pelvic and nervous system tools to calm urgency and reduce pain patterns
- Sleep and lifestyle supports to stabilize progress
- Smart supplement strategy (optional; tailored to budget and response)
If you’ve “tried diet,” you likely haven’t tried this coordinated sequence with bladder retraining and neuro-pelvic tools working in concert.
What You’ll Learn (and Do) Inside the Program
- Nutrition, the IC way: How to spot your unique triggers, build bladder-friendly meals, and reintroduce foods with confidence.
- Bladder retraining: Step-by-step methods to reduce frequency/urgency and rebuild bladder confidence.
- Pelvic floor education: Gentle, home-based techniques to improve relaxation, coordination, and breath mechanics.
- Neuro-pelvic tools: Practical strategies to calm the brain-bladder alarm loop and reduce flares.
- Supplement know-how: Evidence-informed guidance to use supplements strategically (or not at all).
- Sleep + stress support: Restorative practices that help your system settle so healing can stick.
“This course is everything I wish I had when I was at rock bottom with IC.”
Two Ways to Participate
1) California Telehealth Program (medical care)
For established patients physically in California during each visit. Includes the full curriculum plus 1:1 medical care (60-min initial visit + eight 25-min check-ins over ~12 weeks). Clinical decisions are made in visits; email is for scheduling/administrative needs.
2) Self-Paced Course (education-only; available anywhere)
The complete pre-recorded 12-week curriculum with 4 months of access to lessons, tools, and downloads. No live Q&A or community—designed for independent learners who want a clear, step-by-step plan.
Why This Is a Smart Investment
- Saves time and reduces overwhelm: You get a curated, start-to-finish framework instead of cobbling together advice from five different providers.
- Addresses the whole picture: Diet alone or PT alone often isn’t enough. This program integrates the key pillars so your efforts build on each other.
- Adaptable to you: Tools are practical and scalable; supplements are optional and budget-aware (some people don’t need them).
- Designed by a clinician: Built from peer-reviewed research and years of clinical care for women with IC.
“I’ve had IC for years and tried everything. How is this different?”
Most people try helpful tactics one at a time. The Happy Bladder Program integrates IC-specific nutrition, bladder retraining, pelvic floor education, and neuro-pelvic tools in a specific sequence so they reinforce each other. If supplements are used, they’re optional and targeted—never “throw everything at it.”
Supplements:
Supplements are not required. Many women improve with the core pillars alone; others benefit from targeted support for a season. If used, selections are individualized (in telehealth) or taught as general education (in the self-paced course). You’ll learn when they help, which ones are most relevant, and how to use them without overspending.
Ready to Stop Guessing?
Whether you choose the self-paced curriculum or add medical telehealth (for California residents), the Happy Bladder Program gives you a real plan—not random tips. Clear lessons, actionable tools, and a coordinated framework to help you move forward.
Next step: Explore the program version that fits you best and take the first step toward steadier, more confident days.
*Note that results vary.
- The Self-Paced Course is educational and is not a substitute for individualized medical care.
- Telehealth visits are available only when you are physically in California and are not for emergencies. If you have red-flag symptoms (fever, visible blood in urine, inability to urinate, new severe pain), seek in-person medical care or call 911.
