Barrier Breakdown Series: Chronic Stress & Toxic Burden Overload
Description
Most people think health problems start in the gut — but what if the real first domino falls even further north?
In this episode of The Coach Debbie Potts Show, we begin our Barrier Repair series with Part One: The Root Cause Cascade.
You’ll learn how stress, sleep disruption, toxins, and trauma dysregulate the brain and nervous system, flipping the body into fight-or-flight mode. This subtle shift weakens digestion, shuts down bile flow, and sets off a domino effect:
👉 Gut lining breaks down → LPS endotoxins leak
👉 Bile stagnates → toxins recirculate & nutrients go missing
👉 Endothelial glycocalyx thins → sticky blood & high BP
👉 Blood–brain barrier falls → brain fog & neuroinflammation
We’ll explore why the nervous system is the true “root cause lever”, how vagus nerve tone sets the stage for barrier integrity, and why patching one barrier at a time never works.
This is the start of a step-by-step roadmap to repair your barriers north-to-south — so you can restore resilience, protect your brain, and build your Future You.
