Uncover Your Personal Triggers
We help you connect the dots between what you do, eat, and feel—and how your body responds:

Your Custom Care Plan
Once we identify your top symptom triggers, we create a step-by-step, expert-backed symptom care plan for you. This includes:
Targeted strategies: focused on what's actually triggering your IC/BPS—whether it's gut health issues, nervous system imbalance, hormone fluctuations, pelvic floor tension or other factors
Bite-sized weekly action steps: you can actually follow without feeling overwhelmed (covering diet adjustments, habit changes, stress management, and more)
Science-backed approaches: drawn from research and real success stories of women who've improved their IC symptoms
Simple explanations: that help you understand why each recommendation matters for your body
