The Coach Debbie Potts Show Powered by The FutureYou Blueprint™

What if your metabolism isn't broken—but responding to the signals it's receiving?
Welcome to The FutureYou Blueprint™ PNOĒ Metabolic Patterns™ Series, where Debbie Potts explores the five common metabolic patterns identified through advanced PNOĒ Metabolism Testing.
In each episode, you'll discover how stress, nutrition, muscle health, hormones, blood sugar, digestion, sleep, recovery, and lifestyle all influence how your body produces and uses energy. Learn why two people can follow the same diet or exercise plan and experience completely different results—and why identifying your unique metabolic pattern is the foundation of a personalized strategy for improving metabolism, performance, healthy aging, and longevity.
Whether you're an athlete, health enthusiast, or practitioner, this educational series will help you better understand the science of metabolism and the power of personalized metabolic testing.

What if your gut issues aren't just about what you eat—but how well you digest, absorb, and actually use what you eat?
In this episode of The Coach Debbie Potts Show, Debbie sits down with Steven Wright, founder of Healthy Gut, to explore why digestive function may be one of the most overlooked foundations of energy, recovery, immune health, metabolism, and resilience as we age.
Steven brings an engineer's mindset to gut health, helping us look beyond symptom chasing and ask a better question: What conditions does the body need to properly digest, absorb, repair, and rebuild?
In this episode, Debbie and Steven dive into:
• Why stomach acid (HCl) is essential for protein digestion and nutrient absorption
• Why reflux symptoms may not always mean too much stomach acid
• Digest → Absorb → Build: why eating the right foods isn't enough if you can't properly break them down and use them
• How restrictive diets such as low-FODMAP, carnivore, keto, and SCD can be useful tools—but may not be long-term solutions
• Why gut health is about much more than probiotics and adding more bacteria
• What butyrate is and why it matters for the intestinal barrier, immune regulation, metabolism, and whole-body health
• How diet and the gut environment influence our natural production of butyrate
• The connection between the gut mucus layer, butyrate, and Akkermansia
• Why the parasympathetic nervous system and vagus nerve matter for digestion
• How eating while stressed, rushing, working, or driving can interfere with digestive signaling
• Where to start when you've tried diets, probiotics, supplements, and gut protocols but still feel stuck
This conversation connects directly to Debbie's FutureYou Blueprint™ philosophy:
Foundations create the signals.
Signals drive adaptation.
Adaptation builds resilience.
Resilience shapes your FutureYou.
Gut health isn't simply about eliminating symptoms. It's about rebuilding the foundations that allow your body to digest, absorb, repair, recover, and adapt.
And we're not finished! Steven will return for Part 2, where we'll go deeper into the nervous system, immune system, microbiome, and gut-brain connection.

Carbon 60, Mitochondria and Recovery: Can C60 Support the Aging Athlete? | Ken Swartz
Could Carbon 60 support mitochondrial function, cellular energy, exercise recovery and healthy aging—or are some of the claims ahead of the human research?
In this episode of The Coach Debbie Potts Show, I sit down with longtime C60 researcher and C60 Power co-founder Ken Swartz, also known as "Ken the Scientist."
Ken explains what Carbon 60 is, why its soccer-ball-shaped molecular structure is unique and how C60 is proposed to interact with oxidative stress at the cellular and mitochondrial levels.
We explore:
What Carbon 60 is and how it may work

Oxidative stress, free radicals and mitochondrial health

Why oxidative stress can be both damaging and an essential biological signal

The proposed role of C60 as an SOD and catalase mimic

Exercise-induced oxidative stress, peroxynitrite and muscle soreness

Potential applications for energy, performance and recovery

Whether C60 could interfere with beneficial exercise adaptations

Proposed connections to cellular aging, senescent cells, stem cells and telomeres

Reported effects on hormones and endocrine function

Animal research frequently cited in discussions about C60 and longevity

The difference between laboratory findings, animal research, personal reports and proven human outcomes

Product purity, oil carriers, third-party testing, timing and safety

Why supplements cannot replace nutrition, sleep, movement, stress regulation and recovery

This conversation is especially relevant for middle-aged athletes and high performers who are training hard but experiencing slower recovery, persistent soreness, reduced energy or declining resilience.
The bigger question is not simply, "How do we eliminate oxidative stress?"
We need some oxidative stress to create the signals that stimulate repair and adaptation. The real goal is to improve our capacity to respond to stress, recover from it and return to balance.
Foundations create the signals.
Signals drive adaptation.
Adaptation builds resilience.
Resilience shapes your FutureYou.™
