You CAN Write a Book!

Confident Choices was founded by a registered dietitian who has the unique perspective of knowing what it is like to live with interstitial cystitis!

Julie Beyer is a graduate of Michigan State University (MSU) with a Bachelor's Degree in Dietetics and a Master's Degree in Health and Risk Communications. She has over 20 years experience educating, entertaining, and motivating her audiences to make healthy lifestyle choices.

Drawing from personal experience with interstitial cystitis and her professional expertise as a registered dietitian, Julie wrote her first book for IC patients in 2005. Confident Choices: Customizing the Interstitial Cystitis Diet provided valuable information about diet, stress management, and exercise, quickly becoming a popular resource for interstitial patients around the world. Confident Choices: A Cookbook for Interstitial Cystitis and Overactive Bladder is the long anticipated companion of that first book.

Active in the interstitial cystitis community for over ten years, Julie provides dietary counseling to individuals and speaks at IC Support Groups around the country. She volunteers as a lead moderator for the Interstitial Cystitis Network, writes the �All Things Diet and IC� column for the Interstitial Cystitis Association�s monthly newsletter, Caf� ICA, and publishes the Confident Choices Newsletter.
