The heal your bladder podcast with Mary Cotter Nutrition

IN THIS EPISODE…

In this episode, I’m sharing the four biggest lessons I learned from healing my own IC/chronic UTI naturally - the real cost of continuing with the same mistakes, what changes when we stop making them, and why so many people struggle to take these crucial steps.

I’ll also walk you through a real client case study, breaking down the dietary approach I use to support bladder healing. Because true healing isn’t just about cutting out endless foods - You want freedom, not restriction. If you’re looking for a whole-body solution that gets to the heart of the issue, this episode is for you.
