The Coach Debbie Potts Show

In this episode, Coach Debbie reveals why your thyroid isn't the problem — your cellular environment is. Learn how vagus nerve dysfunction, LPS, H. pylori, low stomach acid, sluggish bile, and mitochondrial stress block T4 → T3 conversion and prevent T3 (even medication!) from entering your cells. Debbie shares her personal case study connecting GI-MAP, MEScreen mitochondrial testing, blood chemistry, HRV, and vagus nerve suppression to low T3 activation, slow metabolism, and performance plateaus. Key topics: • Why T3 meds don't always work • How LPS blocks thyroid hormone • Gut–vagus–thyroid connection • Bile flow + fat-burning • Mitochondria + metabolism • How stress shuts down thyroid activation Pulsetto Vagus Nerve Stimulation: 👉 https://pulsetto.sjv.io/YRQyQP Learn more or begin your FutureYou Blueprint™ investigation: 👉 www.debbiepotts.net

In this FutureYou Blueprint™ deep-dive episode of The Coach Debbie Potts Show, we explore one of the most overlooked truths in functional health: 👉 Protecting your brain begins in the gut. 👉 Up to 70–80% of neuroinflammation is driven by digestion, blood sugar, and lifestyle—not age. If you want sharper memory, better focus, emotional resilience, and long-term cognitive health, you must understand how your daily choices directly affect your gut, mitochondria, nervous system, and blood-brain barrier. Today, I break down the four most powerful lifestyle levers you can start using immediately to reduce neuroinflammation and build a stronger brain from the inside out. 🔍 In This Episode, You'll Learn: 🛏️ 1. Why Sleep Is the #1 Brain Detoxifier How 7.5–9 hours of sleep activates the glymphatic system, repairs the blood-brain barrier, calms microglia, improves gut motility, and regulates inflammation. 🏋️‍♀️ 2. How Strength Training Boosts BDNF and Insulin Sensitivity Why lifting weights 2–3 times per week supports brain plasticity, improves mood, and stabilizes blood sugar—the biggest driver of neuroinflammation. 🚶‍♀️ 3. The Role of Aerobic Training in Cerebral Blood Flow How Zone 2 cardio improves oxygen delivery, enhances mitochondrial function, supports gut motility, and reduces stress on the nervous system. 🧲 4. Why Reducing EMFs and Neurotoxins Matters More Than You Think How everyday exposures—like Wi-Fi at night, fragrance, plastics, pesticides, and mold—affect brain inflammation, sleep, and BBB integrity. 🧠 Why This Matters Brain aging is not random. Brain fog is not normal. Cognitive decline does not start in the brain — it starts in your gut, your environment, and your lifestyle signals. By adjusting these four non-negotiable foundations, you lower neuroinflammation, strengthen your gut-brain axis, and build long-term cognitive resilience. This is how you train the WHOLE you… to become your strongest, sharpest FutureYou. 💬 Connect with Debbie Website: www.DebbiePotts.net FutureYou Blueprint Sessions: https://DebbiePottsCoaching.as.me/futureyoublueprint PNOĒ Metabolism Testing & Coaching: www.DebbiePotts.net

Are you doing all the right things—clean eating, daily workouts, supplements—yet feeling tired, inflamed, or stuck in a midlife plateau? On today's deep-dive episode of The Coach Debbie Potts Show, we unravel the hidden biology behind slow metabolism, stubborn fat gain, chronic fatigue, and the loss of muscle as we age. Coach Debbie Potts—FDN-P, FNTP, NASM-CPT, and certified PNOĒ Metabolic Analyst—guides you through the interconnected systems that determine how you age, burn fat, build muscle, and generate energy from the inside out. This is not your typical "eat less, move more" conversation. This is FutureYou Biology—the science of rebuilding metabolism, rewiring resilience, and restoring cellular safety so you can thrive, not struggle, in midlife. In This Episode, You'll Learn: PNOĒ Metabolic Testing — Your Real-Time Metabolic Blueprint How RER, VO₂ Max, FatMax, and ventilatory efficiency reveal whether your metabolism is stuck in sugar-burning mode or capable of efficient, flexible fat oxidation. AMPK — The Fat-Burning, Repair, and Longevity Switch Why Zone 2, fasting windows, cold exposure, and specific nutrients activate AMPK to improve mitochondria, reduce inflammation, and enhance metabolic flexibility. The Cell Danger Response (CDR) — When Mitochondria Hit the Brakes Based on Dr. Robert Naviaux's research, we explore why chronic stress, toxins, infections, or trauma push your mitochondria into "protection mode"—slowing metabolism, lowering energy, and blocking fat loss. The Vagus Nerve — The Hidden Root of Weight Loss Resistance If your nervous system doesn't feel safe, your metabolism won't unlock. Learn how vagal tone affects digestion, hormones, inflammation, and fat-burning—and how to train the vagus for better metabolic outcomes. mTOR + Protein After 40 — How to Rebuild Muscle & Strength Why women and men after 40 need higher protein, targeted leucine, and heavy strength training to overcome anabolic resistance and maintain metabolic rate and longevity. Cortisol, Hormones & Aging The stress-metabolism connection: how elevated cortisol suppresses thyroid function, blocks fat burning, and accelerates aging—and how to fix the rhythm. The FutureYou™ Formula How AMPK, mTOR, the vagus nerve, and mitochondrial health integrate into a personalized, test-not-guess blueprint for metabolic harmony. Featured Framework: FutureYou™ Meal Method Protein-forward, leucine-optimized meals to turn on muscle protein synthesis, maintain metabolic health, and improve fat-burning—especially for midlife women and men. "Protein is the ignition switch for metabolism. Leucine is the spark plug." — Coach Debbie Takeaway Aging well isn't luck—it's strategy. When you retrain metabolism, restore cellular safety, and rebuild vagal resilience, your body becomes capable of fat-burning, muscle building, and long-lasting energy again.

5If you've ever wondered why your CoQ10, NAD, or PQQ stack isn't giving you more energy — this episode will change the way you think about fatigue forever. Your mitochondria aren't just little powerhouses. They're safety sensors — constantly asking one question: "Am I safe enough to make energy right now?" In this solo deep-dive, Coach Debbie Potts unpacks the cutting-edge science of the Cell Danger Response (CDR) — based on Dr. Robert Naviaux's research — and why forcing energy production before your cells feel safe can actually make things worse. You'll learn: 🔬 Why your mitochondria slow energy output on purpose — and how that's a protective response, not a failure. ⚙️ Why supplements like CoQ10, NAD, or PQQ often backfire when used too early. 💡 The six "safety signals" from Ari Whitten's Energy Blueprint that naturally restart energy production. 🧠 How chronic stress, the vagus nerve, and hormones all tie into the same mitochondrial story. 🧘 The three-phase strategy Debbie uses to rebuild energy — from drainage and nervous system repair to targeted mitochondrial support. 📊 How to measure true recovery with PNOĒ Metabolic Testing, HRV, and functional labs.

What if your histamine reactions, skin rashes, and perfume sensitivities aren't allergies at all — but signs of bile backup? In this deep-dive episode of The Coach Debbie Potts Show, Debbie unpacks the powerful yet overlooked connection between choline, bile flow, and histamine balance — and how restoring this triad can transform your energy, digestion, and hormone harmony. 💡 The One-Line Bottom Line: Low choline → low phosphatidylcholine → sticky bile → toxin & estrogen congestion → fatigue, PMS, and chemical sensitivity. Restore choline → restore bile → restore flow → restore YOU. 🧬 What You'll Learn: How your liver turns cholesterol into bile acids — your body's natural "soap." Why phosphatidylcholine (PC) from choline keeps bile fluid and prevents fatty liver. How bile stagnation leads to detox traffic jams, histamine overload, and hormone recirculation. The key roles of taurine, glycine, folate, and B12 in bile and methylation support. Why sluggish bile = dysbiosis + histamine-producing microbes + inflammation. Step-by-step strategy to restore drainage, open detox pathways, and calm sensitivities. 🔁 Fast "Symptom-to-Step" Cheatsheet: Greasy stools or nausea after fat → support PC + bile flow PMS or breast tenderness → bile + methylation nutrients Brain fog after meals → vagus priming + PC Elevated liver enzymes → PC + TUDCA + taurine/glycine Perfume or wine sensitivity → bile stagnation + microbiome hygiene ✨ Key Analogy: If your body's plumbing is clogged, spraying air freshener won't fix it. You don't fix chemical sensitivity by masking the smell — you fix it by unclogging the drain. 🧭 The Takeaway: Chemical sensitivity and histamine intolerance aren't random. They're your body's way of saying: "Drain me before you detox me." 🎙️ Tune in to learn how to: ✔️ Support bile flow naturally ✔️ Calm histamine reactions ✔️ Rebuild your microbiome ✔️ And reclaim your energy, mood, and metabolism 🌐 Learn more at: www.debbiepotts.net #FutureYou #LiverHealth #BileFlow #MetabolicHealth #FunctionalMedicine #Detox #HistamineIntolerance #CoachDebbiePotts ⚠️ Disclaimer: Educational only.

 Detox isn't a juice cleanse — it's a biochemical process your liver runs 24/7. In this deep-dive episode, Coach Debbie Potts unpacks how choline, bile, and cholesterol form the ultimate metabolic trio that determines your fat-burning, hormone balance, and brain health. Learn how sluggish bile flow, low choline intake, or poor drainage can stall detoxification, drive estrogen dominance, and create that "toxic fatigue" so many midlife women experience. You'll discover: 💥 The 3 Phases of Liver Detox — and what nutrients each requires 🥚 Why choline is the missing link in detox, methylation, and brain health 💧 How bile flow impacts hormones, digestion, and fat metabolism 🩸 Why "high cholesterol" isn't the enemy — but a signal to look deeper ⚗️ The truth about TMAO and why you shouldn't fear eggs or choline 🌿 How to restore metabolic flow with real food, movement, and targeted nutrients When you optimize choline and bile, you ignite your mitochondria, clear toxins efficiently, and unlock your body's natural rhythm of repair. ✨ Learn how to test, not guess, using PNOĒ Metabolic Testing and your FutureYou Functional Review at www.DebbiePotts.net #FutureYou #WHOLESTICMethod #CoachDebbiePotts #LiverDetox #BileFlow #Choline #HormoneBalance #FunctionalHealth #MetabolicTesting #PNOE #Mitochondria #FatMetabolism #Longevity  

Setting the Stage — The North-to-South Root Cause Map: How Inflammation Really Starts "Inflammation isn't random — it's routed." In this first Root Cause Deep Dive episode, Coach Debbie Potts reveals how inflammation follows a predictable north-to-south pathway—from your brain all the way down to your gut barrier. If you've ever felt bloated, foggy, or fatigued and been told it's "just inflammation," this episode explains why—and where it truly begins. You'll learn how stress, low stomach acid, sluggish bile, and a weak gut lining quietly sabotage your metabolism and immunity… and how to fix it step by step. Coach Debbie walks you through how your vagus nerve, stomach acid, bile, enzymes, and glycocalyx work together to keep digestion smooth, detox flowing, and inflammation calm. 🧠 In This Episode, You'll Learn: How the vagus nerve sets the "traffic light" for digestion. Why low stomach acid and enzyme output fuel dysbiosis and fatigue. The hidden role of bile as an antimicrobial, hormone balancer, and gut anti-inflammatory. How the glycocalyx acts as your gut's velvet rope—deciding what gets in and what stays out. How to use real-world "clues" like bloating, stool changes, or post-meal fatigue to find where your system is breaking down. ⏱️ Timestamps 00:00 – Welcome + The Root Cause Map Explained 03:15 – How Stress Turns Off Digestion 06:30 – Stomach Acid: Your First Firewall 10:10 – Bile Flow & Detox Connection 14:20 – Enzymes, Fermentation & Endotoxins 18:00 – The Glycocalyx: Your Forgotten Shield 22:40 – Simple Self-Audit: Where's Your Breakdown? 25:30 – Key Takeaway & The Future You Framework 💬 Key Analogy "Your digestion is like a highway running north to south. The brain is the traffic light, the stomach is the toll gate, bile is the car wash, and the glycocalyx is the velvet carpet at the end. When one signal fails, traffic backs up—and that's what drives inflammation." 🧩 Takeaway Inflammation doesn't happen to you — it happens through you.

In this solo deep-dive, Coach Debbie maps the North-to-South flow of health—from brain and vagus nerve to stomach acid, bile, liver, gut, and mitochondria—so you can see how fatigue, belly fat, restless sleep, brain fog, and hormone chaos are often communication problems, not willpower problems. You'll learn how to restore safety signals, open drainage, support bile and choline, and retrain mitochondria from defense to performance. We connect the dots with real testing—PNOĒ RMR/AMR, GI-MAP, DUTCH, Total Tox, MRT, genetics, and Nutritional Therapy Analysis—so you can stop guessing and start rebuilding your Future You™. In this episode, you'll learn: The North-to-South Map: why vagal tone, stomach acid, and bile set the stage for metabolism. Mitochondrial intelligence & the Cell Danger Response (OAT and PNOĒ clues you can measure). Drainage before detox: Phase 1–2–3 in plain English—what to do first. Bile & choline: how to make/keep bile flowing (foods, nutrients, signs of stagnation). Cholesterol & bile: why bile is your main cholesterol exit route. The Brain–Bile–Barrier Loop: how gut/BBB permeability drives neuroinflammation. Muscle as metabolic medicine: training & protein targets that signal repair. Testing, Not Guessing: how your data becomes your roadmap. Ready to see what your metabolism is really doing?
