Struggling with chronic urinary tract infections (UTIs) or interstitial cystitis (IC)? You are not alone — and there is real hope. With advanced training in natural and functional treatment approaches for chronic bladder conditions, I am passionate about providing deeper, root-cause solutions to help you heal.
Understanding Chronic Bladder Pain Differently
In conventional medicine, recurring urinary symptoms are often misunderstood or dismissed. Standard urine cultures can miss up to 90% of underlying infections. Using more advanced testing methods like DNA PCR urine analysis, we can detect hidden infections, biofilm-protected bacteria, and even fungal pathogens that traditional labs often overlook.
Many individuals diagnosed with IC may actually be dealing with undiagnosed infections, biofilm-related microbes, mast cell activation, or immune dysregulation — all contributing to chronic bladder pain.
My Comprehensive Healing Plan
My treatment approach combines clinically proven protocols with years of experience supporting individuals with chronic UTIs and interstitial cystitis. The healing process begins with advanced testing, including DNA PCR urine analysis to detect hidden pathogens, organic acid profiles to assess metabolic and microbial imbalances, mold toxin and Lyme screening, and genetic testing. To address persistent infections, we use specialized biofilm-disrupting supplement that helps expose bacteria and fungi protected within biofilms. Based on test results and clinical presentation, we implement targeted antimicrobial therapies—both herbal and pharmaceutical—tailored to your unique needs.
Since immune reactivity often plays a role in chronic bladder symptoms, we incorporate mast cell stabilization strategies to reduce inflammation and histamine-related flares. We also focus on immune and nutritional support by correcting deficiencies and rebuilding resilience through diet, targeted supplements, and lifestyle adjustments. Holistic detoxification protocols are used to gently support the clearance of mold toxins, heavy metals, and other environmental stressors that may burden the system. Finally, for those with muscular tension or nerve involvement, pelvic floor therapy is integrated to address structural contributors to chronic bladder pain.
Functional Medicine for Chronic UTI and IC
If you’ve been told “there’s nothing more to be done,” it’s time for a new perspective. This root-cause, functional medicine approach doesn’t just mask symptoms — it seeks to resolve the underlying drivers of inflammation, infection, and immune imbalance.
My goal is to help you break the cycle of antibiotics, flare-ups, and frustration — and move toward true restoration and relief.
