If you’ve been dealing with recurring UTI symptoms, bladder pain, burning, urgency, or frequent urination, only to have your urine cultures come back normal, this episode is for you.

I’m joined by Heather Florio, CEO of Desert Harvest and a leading advocate for women’s pelvic and sexual health, to unpack the difference between recurrent UTIs, interstitial cystitis, and bladder pain syndrome.

Tune in to discover why recurring UTI symptoms aren’t always caused by infection and how to better advocate for yourself when you know something isn’t right.
