• Muscle Is Medicine: Why Protein Quality, Anti-Nutrients & Leucine Matter in Midlife

  Your muscle isn't just for strength—it's your metabolic organ, your glucose sink, your hormonal stabilizer, and your anti-aging insurance policy. But here's the hard truth: If your protein is low in leucine, hard to digest, or blocked by anti-nutrients, you're putting the brakes on everything you're trying to optimize. 🧬 In this episode of The Coach Debbie Potts Show, we explore how poor protein choices impact: 📉 Blood sugar and insulin resistance 🧠 Brain fog and neurotransmitter function 🔥 Mitochondrial energy production 🧘 Hormone health and thyroid function 💪 Muscle loss and metabolic decline We dive deep into the science of anabolic resistance, leucine thresholds, and the dangers of anti-nutrients like phytates, oxalates, and lectins—especially for those navigating perimenopause, menopause, or andropause. 🙌 Your Next Step: Build Your FutureYou Blueprint™ Let's design your protein-first, gut-friendly, muscle-building plan—customized to your: Metabolism Stress load Age & midlife goals 📅 Book your FutureYou Strategy Session today at 👉 www.DebbiePotts.net Together, we'll test—not guess—and create the plan your body actually responds to. Because your symptoms aren't random… they're data. Let's decode the root cause and build the strongest, most resilient version of you. 🛑 Disclaimer: Educational only.

• The Brain-Gut Blueprint: How Lifestyle, Sleep, Strength, and Stress Signals Shape Cognitive Health

  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

• Your Thyroid Isn't Broken: The Hidden Reasons T3 Medication Stops Working

  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

• Why You're Doing Everything Right but Still Not Losing Fat — The FutureYou Biology Series

  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. It's time to rewrite your midlife biology and create your FutureYou. Work With Coach Debbie Ready to stop guessing and start testing?
