What they're saying

"Before I found Callie I had been severely restricting my diet for 2 years because no one explained to me that you should eventually add foods back in to your diet in order to find your triggers. Instead they make you feel like you had to be on this restrictive diet permanently. This made me extremely depressed, have major food fear, and I was not doing things I loved to do. On top of all that I was still having extreme pelvic pain, urinary frequency, and burning. I was just plain miserable.

Before I met Callie I was feeling hopeless that I was going to have such a poor quality of life for the rest of my life. I felt like I was so afraid to eat or do anything fun in my life.

While working with Callie I was able to figure out that I actually was not very food sensitive but had other non diet triggers that were causing my issues. This gave me the confidence to eat again. I started addressing my biggest triggers like stress, pelvic floor dysfunction, and hormones. Once I did that my pain levels came down and I started feeling normal again.

I really enjoyed working with Callie and Beverly. They encouraged and supported me the whole way, and whenever I ran into some hiccups they helped me figure out what the issue could be, and gave me excellent tips to continue healing and moving forward.

I almost didn’t join Road to Remission due to the cost because I wasn’t sure if it was just one more thing that I would spent money on and it end up not working. I’m so glad I decided that I was worth the money and that I could not be a good wife and mother if I was in constant pain.

My favorite part of Road to Remission is all the education videos and the support group calls. The videos helped educate me on things I had no idea could be problems and saved me so much time instead of hours and hours of googling. The support calls were amazing at helping me gain the help and support I needed. Everyone is always so kind and willing to listen and help in anyway they can. It was so nice to not feel alone.

If anyone is thinking about joining Road to Remission, I would say don’t hesitate one moment longer. You are worth the cost of this program and IF you put the effort and work into this program the way it’s intended, I do think you will get some relief and figure out your unique puzzle to recovery."

"In 2019, I went from being the girl that never had any bladder issues to having the worst frequency and urgency in the world. At 19 years old, my whole world got flipped upside down, and I just continued to spiral into the deepest hole of depression and anxiety. After so many medications and doctor's appointments, I had enough. I was tired of not knowing what was wrong with me. Every test would come back normal and every medication they would throw at me never worked. Because of this reason, my fight-or-flight was constantly at 100%. I started to work with Callie in October and after 3 weeks, I started to feel better and I was ready to start trying out new foods. I don’t really have the fear of trying new foods because, for the most part, I’m eating foods that I would never have touched two years ago. I can eat tomato sauce, and being Italian, tomatoes are basically in everything, and the fact that I can eat it is because of the Road to Remission program. I can now eat tomatoes, soy sauce, strawberries, barbecue sauce, most spices, black pepper, chocolate, and a few more. I can also drink soda, Powerade, and some alcohol! R2R has changed my life, and without Callie, I would probably still be very lost in trying to get my symptoms under control. I now rarely have symptoms, and I consider myself to be in remission!"

"Before starting the Road to Remission (R2R) program, my pain levels were consistently at an 8 to 10 daily, and I was using the restroom around 40 times a day. Most days, I was bedridden, feeling depressed and hopeless, convinced I’d be this sick for the rest of my life.

Now, my symptoms have improved drastically. I only wake up 2 to 3 times a night, compared to 10 or more before, and I’m no longer bedridden. I can start my day like a 'normal' person, with my pain levels now around 3 or 4, which is manageable. R2R helped me regain a sense of self-worth, and I no longer feel hopeless. I also have tools to manage flares—what used to last weeks now lasts just a day or a few hours. I’m living a healthy life again, something I never thought possible. I genuinely feel like I have my life back.

Before R2R, my mental health was in terrible shape. Now, it’s night and day. I don’t fear interstitial cystitis (IC) anymore; I feel confident and empowered. The program showed me IC isn’t just about diet, which gave me peace. I no longer let others’ opinions or outdated advice affect me because I know what my body needs. That clarity has been life-changing.

My root cause was related to nervous system regulation—stress had kept my body in fight-or-flight mode for most of my life. I also discovered a few food allergens, but far fewer than I had thought.

Now, I can sleep through the night, be there for my loved ones, and live my life without being bedridden. I can even manage flares quickly, without being stuck for weeks, and go out without worrying about bathroom lines because my pain is under control.

The R2R program helped me by providing online courses, tools, and support from Callie and Beverly. The documentation I kept helped me see patterns in my symptoms, and the program's focus on nervous system regulation changed everything. Callie’s experience with IC makes this program truly unique and effective. The combination of education, tools, and support worked together to transform my life. I’m now living with far less pain, better sleep, and a renewed appreciation for myself."
