Podcasts about future you

Send us Fan MailHave you ever caught yourself describing the same frustrating circumstance over and over again?Maybe it's your health.Your finances.Your business.Your relationships.Your energy.You talk about it. You explain it. You track it. You think about it all day long.And then one day, you realize: If I don't shift this, I may keep creating more of the very thing I don't want.That happened to me recently.I had been feeling physically exhausted, and I found myself talking about it constantly. I was tracking my sleep, watching my readiness scores, and explaining to people why I felt the way I felt.Then I heard one clear phrase:“Let the weak say, ‘I am strong.'”And honestly? It felt like a wake-up call. There are moments when we have to stop rehearsing the problem and start speaking the promise.The Bible says that life and death are in the power of the tongue. That means our words matter. We cannot speak exhaustion, defeat, lack, and confusion every single day and then expect to wake up energized, hopeful, and ready to move forward.This isn't about pretending the pain doesn't exist.It isn't about denying reality.It's about refusing to let the circumstance write the script for your future.If you don't know what to do in your business, stop repeating, “I have no idea what to do.” Instead, remind yourself: God gives wisdom liberally. I have the mind of Christ. My steps are ordered.If your health feels depleted, stop constantly declaring that you're tired and worn out.Start saying: Every day, I'm getting stronger. My body is renewing. I'm taking the steps that support the future I want.If your finances feel tight, don't let lack become your language. Speak provision. Speak wisdom. Speak increase. Then take the action steps that line up with those words.Your spirit is always listening. And your words have a way of shaping what your mind notices, how you act, and the path you begin to walk.So here's my challenge for you:Go seven days without grumbling and complaining.When you catch yourself repeating the old narrative, stop.Flip the script.Say what God says.Speak life over the barren places.Speak wisdom over confusion.Speak strength over weakness. Speak provision over lack.Don't get sloppy with your words. Because eventually, you will eat the fruit of what you keep speaking. And I want that fruit to be good.

If you're training consistently, eating healthy, and still struggling with muscle loss, slower recovery, stubborn body composition changes, or feeling like your metabolism simply doesn't work like it used to… this episode is for you. In this deep-dive conversation, I sit down with Dr. David Minkoff, physician, endurance athlete, and founder of BodyHealth, to explore what is really happening beneath the surface as we age—and why muscle health may be one of the biggest missing pieces in longevity, metabolism, and performance. We discuss: • Why muscle loss accelerates after 40—even if you exercise consistently • What anabolic resistance is and why building muscle becomes harder with age • The difference between AMPK (survival mode) and mTOR (build mode) • What muscle protein synthesis (MPS) actually means and how to stimulate it • Why simply "eating more protein" may not solve the problem • The importance of digestion, stomach acid, and protein utilization • Why reaching the leucine threshold matters for muscle repair and growth • The science behind essential amino acids (EAAs) and recovery • How under-fueling, overtraining, poor recovery, and chronic stress can keep you stuck • Why muscle is critical for blood sugar regulation, energy, metabolism, and healthy aging If you're a high performer, endurance athlete, active adult, or someone navigating midlife changes and wondering why your body no longer responds the way it used to—this conversation will help connect the dots. Because many active adults are not undertrained.  They are under-muscled.  And the solution may not be working harder. It may be learning how to send a stronger signal.

Welcome back to another Rabbit Hole Deep Dive episode of The Coach Debbie Potts Show. In this solo episode, Debbie explores the science behind healthy aging, metabolism, performance, recovery, resilience, and longevity for middle-aged athletes, endurance athletes, and high performers. Each Rabbit Hole episode is designed to connect the dots between exercise physiology, functional health, gut health, hormones, metabolism, nervous system regulation, and healthy aging so you can improve how you age from the inside out. In this episode you'll discover: • The science behind today's topic • Why it matters for performance, recovery, and healthy aging • How your body adapts to stress, exercise, nutrition, and lifestyle habits • The hidden physiological patterns that often impact middle-aged athletes and high performers • Practical takeaways to help you build a stronger, healthier Future You Debbie also shares how she combines PNOĒ Metabolic Testing, blood chemistry analysis, functional lab testing, genetics, symptom assessment, and lifestyle evaluation to uncover patterns and create personalized strategies for long-term health and performance. Remember: The goal is not simply to stay fit on the outside. The goal is to improve how you age from the inside out.

What if fatigue, inflammation, poor recovery, hormone issues, bloating, brain fog, and "feeling stuck" are not simply about doing more… …but about impaired FLOW inside the body? In Part Three of The Terrain First Series: Flow, Signals & the Future You, Debbie Potts dives deep into the physiology behind her F.L.O.W. Foundation™ and explains why healing depends on movement, communication, oxygen delivery, drainage, and nervous system safety. In this episode, you'll learn: What F.L.O.W. stands for: Neural FLOW Lymphatic FLOW Oxygen FLOW Waste & Bile FLOW Why the nervous system controls digestion, recovery, and repair How chronic stress physiology may impair stomach acid, bile flow, motility, and mitochondrial function Why the lymphatic system is one of the most overlooked systems in modern health The connection between oxygen delivery, nitric oxide, mitochondria, and metabolic resilience Why "Drainage Before Detox" matters How sluggish bile flow may contribute to hormone recirculation, inflammation, and digestive dysfunction Why high performers often stay stuck in survival physiology despite "doing everything right" How the body constantly asks: Am I safe? Can I recover? Should I build or defend? Debbie also connects the dots between: The Cell Danger Response Vagal tone Mitochondrial communication Inflammation signaling Metabolic flexibility PNOĒ metabolic testing Terrain First physiology The FutureYou Blueprint™ This episode is a deep dive into why the body cannot heal efficiently when information, oxygen, nutrients, hormones, immune signals, and waste cannot move through the system properly. Because healing is not about forcing the body. It's about creating the conditions where the body finally feels safe enough to repair.

Episode 1: Terrain First — Why Your Body Won't Heal Until It Feels Safe What if your symptoms are not the real problem… but the body's protective response? In this first episode of The Terrain First Series, Debbie Potts dives deep into one of the most important missing conversations in health, metabolism, gut healing, and longevity: The body must feel safe before it can fully heal. If you've been doing all the "right things" — eating healthy, exercising harder, fasting more, taking supplements, trying to lose weight, improve hormones, or heal your gut — yet still feel stuck, exhausted, inflamed, or overwhelmed… this episode explains WHY. You'll learn: What "Terrain First" really means Why symptoms are often communication, not failure How the nervous system controls digestion, inflammation, metabolism, hormones, and recovery Why chronic stress changes physiology The connection between survival mode and stubborn health issues Why more effort can backfire in a depleted body The meaning behind: Energy Before Effort Safety Before Fat Loss Capacity Before Intensity Why healing depends on safety, signaling, and resilience Debbie also explains how the body constantly interprets internal and external signals through the nervous system, immune system, microbiome, hormones, and mitochondria — and why the brain prioritizes survival over repair when it perceives danger. This episode lays the foundation for the entire series as Debbie connects together: nervous system physiology vagus nerve signaling inflammation metabolism gut-brain communication mitochondrial health resilience and the foundational terrain required for long-term health optimization. If you're ready to stop fighting your body and start understanding it, this series is for you.

What if your menopause symptoms aren't just about hormones—but your gut? In this episode of The Coach Debbie Potts Show, I'm joined by Cynthia Thurlow, nurse practitioner and author of the new book The Menopause Gut, to unpack the powerful connection between your microbiome, immune system, and hormones in midlife. After a personal health crisis revealed how perimenopause impacted her immune resilience, Cynthia shifted her focus to what many women are missing: Declining estrogen doesn't just affect hormones—it impacts the gut and immune system. Because nearly 70% of your immune system resides in the gut, menopause becomes a turning point for inflammation, metabolism, and overall health. In this conversation, we discuss: Why menopause symptoms go beyond hormones How gut health influences immune resilience and inflammation The connection between estrogen, the microbiome, and metabolism Why high-performing women feel stuck despite doing "everything right" How restoring gut health supports hormone balance and vitality Practical strategies from The Menopause Gut If you're navigating midlife and feel like your body has changed the rules—this episode will help you understand why and what to do next.

You make six figures. You should feel ahead. So why does it still feel like you're barely getting by?

Charlotte landed one of its biggest job announcements in years this week, with Japanese banking giant Sumitomo Mitsui Banking Corporation (SMBC) planning a major hub that could bring up to 2,000 jobs. It's a significant win not just for the sheer number of jobs, but for what it signals: Charlotte continues to draw global financial firms looking for talent, lower costs and room to grow. The deal also reflects a broader trend — even as the city diversifies, finance remains at the core of its economic engine.In this bonus breaking-news episode of The Charlotte Ledger Podcast, Ledger editors Ashley Fahey and Tony Mecia unpack how the deal came together, what it tells us about Charlotte's place in the national banking landscape, and what stood out from the announcement. They also dig into the types of jobs expected, how quickly they might arrive, and what this could mean for everything from hiring to office space — including the possibility of filling one of uptown's most prominent vacant towers. They also explore the bigger picture: why Charlotte keeps winning these projects, how it stacks up against competitors like Dallas, and what may still be in the pipeline.We discussed:Why this deal is unusually large for Charlotte — and how it compares to past announcements What kinds of jobs are coming (and where they may come from) How fast hiring could ramp up — and when to expect openings The behind-the-scenes recruitment effort, including an international push Where the new hub might land — and what it could mean for uptown real estate Why Charlotte continues to attract financial firms — and what that says about the city's futureYou can find out more about The Charlotte Ledger at TheCharlotteLedger.comThis episode of The Charlotte Ledger Podcast was produced by Tony Mecia.

Understanding the Signals That Control Your Metabolism If you feel like your body isn't responding the way it used to… you're not alone. You may be eating well, training consistently, and doing everything you've been told should work—yet your energy is off, recovery is slower, and body composition is changing. This series explains why. In this multi-part deep dive, Debbie Potts—Functional Diagnostic Nutrition Practitioner and Metabolic Health Coach—walks you through what is really happening beneath the surface. This is not a conversation about eating less or exercising more. It is about understanding how your body communicates. Because your metabolism is not just about calories or hormones. It is controlled by a network of signals between your brain, gut, muscles, mitochondria, and nervous system. When those signals become disrupted, the body adapts in ways that can feel frustrating and confusing. Fatigue, weight gain, hormone imbalances, and poor recovery are not random. They are clues. Debbie refers to this as "Metabolic Chaos"—a state where the body is no longer communicating efficiently. Throughout this series, you will learn how to recognize the patterns behind metabolic dysfunction and how to begin restoring balance by improving communication within the body. Topics covered in this series include: Why metabolism changes in midlife and what is actually driving those changes How stress, sleep, and the nervous system influence fat metabolism and energy The connection between gut health, inflammation, and hormone balance Why cell membrane health and receptor function are critical for results The role of muscle in long-term metabolic health and aging How mitochondrial function influences energy, endurance, and recovery This series also introduces a more personalized, data-driven approach to health. Rather than guessing, Debbie explains how functional testing can reveal where your body is struggling, including: Functional blood chemistry DUTCH hormone testing GI-MAP stool analysis 3x4 genetic insights PNOĒ metabolic testing Mitochondrial and oxidative stress markers You will also be introduced to the key signals that regulate metabolism, including blood sugar control, cellular health, energy production, gut function, inflammation, detoxification, and recovery. When these systems are aligned, the body works more efficiently. When they are not, progress can feel stalled—even when effort is high. This series is designed to help you connect the dots, understand your body at a deeper level, and begin creating a strategy that works with your physiology instead of against it. If you are ready to stop guessing and start understanding your unique physiology, you can learn more and schedule a FutureYou Blueprint Discovery Call at: www.debbiepotts.net Your body is not working against you. It is responding to the signals it receives. When you understand those signals, you can begin to change your trajectory and build your FutureYou from the inside out.

What if your metabolism isn't broken—but your body's communication system is? In this multi-part deep dive, Debbie Potts—Functional Diagnostic Nutrition Practitioner, Metabolic Health Coach, and host of The Coach Debbie Potts Show—explores why so many high-performing individuals feel stuck despite doing everything "right." This series goes beyond calories, workouts, and surface-level hormone advice. Instead, it uncovers the deeper physiology of metabolic health by focusing on how the body functions as an integrated system of signals. Your metabolism is not just about food or exercise. It is about communication between your cells, hormones, gut, brain, and nervous system. When that communication becomes disrupted, the body adapts in ways that feel like dysfunction—fatigue, weight gain, hormone imbalance, and poor recovery. Debbie calls this state "Metabolic Chaos." In this series, you will learn how to shift from metabolic chaos to metabolic harmony by understanding and restoring the key signals that drive energy, fat metabolism, and resilience as you age. In this series, you will learn: What metabolic dysfunction really is—and why it often shows up in midlife How hormones, mitochondria, muscle, and the nervous system are interconnected Why cell membrane health and receptor sensitivity determine whether your body responds to signals The role of gut health in fat metabolism, inflammation, and energy production How chronic stress, overtraining, and under-recovery disrupt metabolic signaling Why traditional approaches stop working after 40 This series also introduces Debbie's "test, not guess" approach to health optimization. Rather than relying on generic protocols, she uses functional lab testing and metabolic analysis to identify where your system is breaking down. You will learn how tools such as functional blood chemistry, DUTCH hormone testing, GI-MAP stool analysis, 3x4 genetics, PNOĒ metabolic testing, and mitochondrial markers can provide insight into your body's internal communication system. At the core of this series are the nine key signals that restore metabolic harmony, including blood sugar stability, cell membrane health, mitochondrial function, hormone signaling, gut microbiome communication, oxygen utilization, inflammation control, detoxification pathways, and recovery. After age 40, the body becomes more sensitive to disruptions in these systems. When signals are out of alignment, fat loss becomes more difficult, muscle is harder to maintain, energy becomes inconsistent, and hormones feel imbalanced. The goal is not to fight your body, but to understand how it works. Debbie's core message is simple: you do not fix metabolism by working harder—you fix it by improving how your body communicates. If you are listening and recognizing that something feels off despite your best efforts, the next step is not more guessing. It is gaining clarity. To learn more or schedule a FutureYou Blueprint Discovery Call, visit: www.debbiepotts.net Your body is not broken. It is adapting to the signals it is receiving. When you change the signals, you change your future.

In this meeting of The Late Diagnosis Club, Dr Angela Kingdon welcomes Amy Kriewaldt, a late-diagnosed Autistic, ADHD, and PDA mother of three neurodivergent children.Amy grew up a hyperlexic piano prodigy, praised for talent and performance while quietly navigating sensory overwhelm, situational mutism, perfectionism, and crushing internal expectations. It wasn't until her children began receiving diagnoses that she started to recognise herself in their traits, and ultimately heard the words that changed everything: “Oh, I think you're Autistic.”Together, Angela and Amy explore hyperlexia, auditory processing differences, late self-recognition, self-compassion, memoir writing as a reframing, ADHD medication, self-medication through alcohol and caffeine, and the shift from compliance-based education to connection-centred learning.This is a conversation about reframing failure, advocating fiercely, rewriting your past, and building systems that support autistic people across the lifespan.

We're in the thick of a Virgo Full Moon eclipse … and if you've been feeling like the last two weeks have been intense, you're not alone. This isn't your typical lunation it's a cosmic reset and course correction. From the Aquarius New Moon Solar Eclipse on February 17th/18th to the Virgo Full Moon Lunar Eclipse happening right now, we've been moving through a powerful two week portal. This episode helps you personalise it to your natal chart to see where this eclipse season has happened for you and what The Universe is wanting to illuminate for you. Eclipses don't ask for your permission. They plant seeds for you. Your job isn't to act, it's to observe, surrender, and let the greater powers show you what needs to shift. In this episode, I'm breaking down exactly what this eclipse portal means and how to personalize it for yourself to use as a powerful self awareness tool. In this episode, we dive into: Chapters 00:00:00 Welcome to the Eclipse Portal Energy Forecast 00:01:26 Why We Don't Set Intentions During Eclipses 00:03:00 The Aquarius New Moon Eclipse: Innovation and Breaking Rules 00:04:24 The Science of Solar Eclipses: When the Sun Disappears 00:06:26 The Virgo Full Moon Lunar Eclipse: What's Being Illuminated 00:07:47 Personalizing This Eclipse Using Your Natal Chart 00:09:31 Chani's Personal Eclipse Axis: Communication Meets Career 00:11:54 The Perfectionism Trap: Virgo's Shadow Side 00:15:27 Breaking the Overwhelm Cycle 00:18:10 The Future You vs. What's Holding You Back 00:19:26 Virgo's Not-Self Themes and Self-Awareness Work 00:21:10 Destiny is Interrupting Your Self-Sabotage I'm also sharing my personal experience with this eclipse axis (Aquarius in my 3rd house of communication and Virgo in my 10th house of career), and how it's been showing me where my perfectionism has been sabotaging my creative flow. If you've been feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or like you're working so hard but not seeing the results you want… this might resonate deeply. The Aquarius eclipse is showing you who you're becoming. The Virgo eclipse is showing you what habits, patterns, and behaviors need to be released in order for that future version of you to emerge. If your current life cannot support your next chapter, this eclipse portal is here to show you what needs to be cleaned up, Virgo style. Destiny is interrupting whatever little routine you're in that's been self sabotaging, and it's time to pay attention. ——————-

In this deep dive rabbit hole episode of The Coach Debbie Potts Show, we unpack the science behind cardiovascular health- and why it matters for high performers, endurance athletes, and driven midlife men and women who want to age strong — not slower. This isn't surface-level wellness advice. You'll learn how Cardiovascular health impacts: ✔ Metabolism ✔ Hormones ✔ Muscle & Mitochondria ✔ Brain & Nervous System ✔ Gut Health ✔ Insulin Sensitivity ✔ Inflammation & Longevity And most importantly — how to connect this to your own FutureYou Blueprint™ using a "Test, Not Guess" approach. If you've been doing all the "right" things but still feel stuck with fatigue, weight gain, brain fog, muscle loss, or metabolic chaos — this episode is for you. This is about understanding your terrain. This is about building resilience. This is about restoring metabolic harmony from the inside out.

Is cancer prevention really about destroying abnormal cells — or restoring immune surveillance before disease ever develops? In this Part Two deep dive, Coach Debbie Potts explores the emerging paradigm shift in longevity medicine: enhancing Natural Killer (NK) cell intelligence and activated NK cell–derived exosomes to support immune rejuvenation, reduce senescent "zombie" cells, and protect long-term health. If you're 45–60 and doing everything "right" but feeling inflamed, slower to recover, or less resilient, this episode will help you understand why immune precision matters — and why advanced regenerative tools must be layered in the right order. In this episode, you'll learn: • What Natural Killer (NK) cells actually do in daily immune surveillance • What "zombie cells" (senescent cells) are and how they accelerate aging • How NK cells help clear damaged and dysfunctional cells • What activated NK cell exosomes are — and how they function as immune signaling amplifiers • The potential anti-aging and healthspan benefits of improving immune precision • Why immune rejuvenation is about restoring intelligence, not boosting indiscriminately • When advanced regenerative therapies make sense — and when they don't Anti-aging is not about reversing time. It's about preserving adaptive capacity. For high performers, that means: Maintaining muscle. Preserving metabolic flexibility. Protecting cognitive function. Supporting immune intelligence. Not pushing harder — but sequencing smarter. Because advanced therapies are not first-line. They are precision amplifiers once the terrain is ready. Safety first. Then flow. Then rebuild capacity. That's how you create your FutureYou.

If you're 45, 50, or 60 and doing all the "right" things — training hard, eating clean, optimizing your health — but your body isn't responding the way it used to… this episode is for you. In this solo deep dive, Coach Debbie Potts breaks down what it really means to become fit and healthy from the inside out — at a cellular level. Before we talk peptides, exosomes, stem cells, or advanced regenerative therapies, we need to understand one thing: Your body cannot regenerate in stagnation. Safety turns digestion back on. Flow clears inflammatory noise. And when waste moves, mitochondria increase output. In this episode, you'll learn: • What "restoring cellular trust" actually means • Why mitochondria are the decision-makers of your metabolism • How chronic stress keeps you stuck in protective adaptation • The real role of bile flow, lymphatic drainage, and gut motility • Why immune resilience declines in midlife • The difference between adding more stress vs. rebuilding capacity • The correct order of operations: Safety → Flow → Capacity • How to create your FutureYou Blueprint™ without burning out If you're a high performer who feels inflamed, resistant, or metabolically stalled, this episode will help you understand why pushing harder isn't the solution — and what to do instead. Because your FutureYou isn't built by adding more stress. It's built by restoring cellular trust — in the right order. ✨ Ready to build your personalized FutureYou Blueprint™?

Where do you draw strength when you feel pressured to stay silent about Jesus?In today's episode of the MY Devotional Podcast, Dr. Michael Youssef points to the apostle Paul's unwavering confidence in the Gospel: “The righteous will live by faith” (Romans 1:17). From Habakkuk to the New Testament, God's message remains the same—faith isn't a one-time decision; it's the way God's people live.Dr. Youssef walks through how faith anchors every part of the believer's life:Past: You trusted Jesus and were saved by grace—rescued from hell to heaven.Present: You rely on Christ daily for provision, wisdom, victory over sin, and strength to obey.Future: You live with confidence that when you leave this world, you will be with Jesus forever.And then comes the challenge: Are you ever tempted to be ashamed of the Gospel? When someone calls your faith narrow-minded—or labels the exclusivity of Christ as offensive—this devotional will remind you to return to your true power source and move forward in obedience, love, and faith.Scripture Focus: Romans 1:17Listen now and rediscover the awe-inspiring grace that saves, sanctifies, and secures you for eternity. The voice you hear on the MY Devotional podcast is digitally generated with Dr. Youssef's permission. If today's devotional stirred a question, burden, or need for prayer, you don't have to walk through it alone.

One of the best things about being your own boss? You can work in your pyjamas and that's exactly what I'm doing in this episode! But it's about so much more than just comfort, it's about recognising that you get to make the rules now. You can choose your hours, work under a blanket if that soothes your nervous system, and build routines that actually suit you.

Special replay from February 10th's live webinarRise is Back! Get your tickets while they last! - Live Events!!Upgrade to the Ad Free Premium Podcast Experience - https://rachelhollis.supercast.comRachel challenges the idea that motivation is the key to change, arguing that motivation is fleeting and often leads to shame when goals slip, especially when people use harsh self-talk, comparison, or other unhealthy tactics to “get motivated.” She explains that real progress comes from routines, habits, and ritual—showing up for your life every day in ways that fit your real circumstances, including mid-level days and hard days influenced by stress, hormones, or life seasons.Get your copy of Rachel's Book Here: Audible, Amazon, Barnes & Noble, Books-A-Millon, Bookshop.org, or wherever books are sold!00:00 Show Up Every Day (Without Hustle): Aligning With Your Future Self01:04 Welcome + Intention for a Perspective Shift02:30 Rachel's Background: 15 Years of Personal Development Lessons03:35 Why Goal-Setting Culture Creates Shame (The Motivation Trap)06:18 Motivation Fades—Build Routines, Habits, and Rituals Instead08:07 Great Days, Bad Days, and the ‘Middle' Where We Get Stuck12:37 Toxic Motivation Tactics: Self-Hate, Caffeine, and Comparison17:42 Personal Story: Diet Culture, Binge Cycles, and Why ‘It Works' Doesn't Last24:27 Business Example: Stop Waiting for the Market—Hope Isn't a Strategy27:00 The Red-Things Exercise: You See What You're Looking For (Choose Your North Star)30:05 Make Change Automatic: What If Growth Was as Easy as Brushing Your Teeth?30:55 Your Weird Little Habits: Nose-Blowing, Sleep Positions & Chapstick Rituals32:46 Why Habits Feel Mandatory: Triggers, Cues & The Power of Habit34:18 The Framework Starts Here: Stop Relying on Motivation35:49 Goal Type #1: The ‘One Thing' That Changes Everything38:32 Consistency Beats Intensity: Falling in Love with the Process40:41 Goal Type #2: Chasing a Feeling in Hard Seasons42:34 Goal Type #3: ‘Future You' Persona + Vision Details44:31 Perfectionism & Analysis Paralysis: Just Choose a Direction46:59 Build Systems That Work: Recipes, Experiments & Habit Stacking53:11 Time Expectations + Environment: The Map, the People, and Momentum59:34 Find Your Community (Free or Paid) + Final Challenge: Do One Thing This Week01:02:40 Wrap-Up: You Don't Need Motivation—You Need a ProcessSign up for Rachel's weekly email: https://msrachelhollis.com/insider/Call the podcast hotline and leave a voicemail!

In this episode, I'm breaking down two tools I use personally and with clients to help interrupt anxiety, perfectionism, and subconscious patterns — especially when you know something isn't working anymore, but you're not sure what to do instead.We explore the difference between Future You and Next-Level You, how they work together, and how to use them in real, everyday moments — not just big life decisions.In this episode, we talk about:Why awareness alone isn't enough to create changeThe difference between Future You (big-picture trust) and Next-Level You (moment-to-moment clarity)How fear-based motivation actually keeps us stuckA real-life example of perfectionism and over-optimizing daily lifeAn emotionally charged example of catastrophizing and feeling misunderstoodHow separating facts from stories can calm anxiety spiralsThese tools aren't about fixing yourself — they're about learning how to move through your life with more trust, ease, and clarity.✨ Learn more about The Subconscious Edit here

In today's episode, we dive into a topic that EVERY single one of us experiences; projections… aka the sneaky stories that other people hand to us about who we are, what we're capable of, and what our life should look like.Most of us don't struggle because of lack of ability… we struggle because of the stories we accidentally accepted as fact somewhere along the way. Maybe from parents, teachers, doctors, mentors, bosses, friends or random strangers on the internet.If you've ever been told you're “too emotional,” “not ready,” “not practical,” “too ambitious,” “too much,” “not enough,” “bad with money,” or that motherhood will “slow you down”… this episode is going to hit home.Because your mom's fears aren't your destiny.Your boss's limitations aren't your blueprint.And your friends' comfort zones aren't your calling.Future YOU is not living inside other people's projection, she's living inside your truth.I want that for you so badly… and I'm rooting SO hard for her. PS: If this hit home, I would LOVE to hear from you!

Rabbit Hole Deep Dive Series: The Vagus Nerve, Aging & Hormones with Coach Debbie Potts, FDN-P, FNTP, Metabolic Health Practitioner Welcome to the Rabbit Hole Deep Dive Series — where Coach Debbie Potts guides you through the complex, interconnected systems that shape your metabolism, hormones, and longevity. In this series, Debbie unpacks one of the most overlooked drivers of midlife health challenges: vagus nerve dysfunction and its downstream impact on thyroid health, sex hormones, blood sugar balance, inflammation, mitochondrial energy, and the aging process. Through detailed explanations, case studies (including Debbie's own GI-MAP, MEScreen, HRV and blood chemistry results), and science-backed strategies, you'll learn: • Why the vagus nerve controls digestion, nutrient absorption, and gut-hormone signaling • How chronic stress suppresses thyroid conversion (T4 → T3) and increases reverse T3 • The role of autonomic balance in menopause, perimenopause, and andropause symptoms • How low vagal tone accelerates aging by impairing mitochondrial function • The connection between HRV, metabolic flexibility, and fat-burning • Early signs of vagus nerve toxicity — and how to reverse it • Practical tools to strengthen vagal tone, reduce inflammation, and rebalance hormones • How Pulsetto Vagus Nerve Stimulation fits into a data-driven recovery strategy Debbie blends her decades of experience as a practitioner and athlete with functional testing, genetic insight, mitochondrial analysis, and real-world lessons from overcoming her own burnout and metabolic chaos. If you feel like you're aging faster than you should… If your metabolism has slowed… If your hormones feel "off" despite doing everything right… If your stress resilience and HRV are declining… This series will help you connect the dots, understand the root cause, and start building your strongest, most resilient Future You.

Your vagus nerve is the most underrated driver of your metabolism, hormones, digestion, inflammation, and stress resilience — especially in midlife. And if you've been stuck in "fight or flight" for years (hello, athletes, Type-A performers, and burnt-out high achievers), this episode is the missing link in your healing and fat-loss journey. In this deep-dive episode, Coach Debbie walks you through the real mechanisms behind vagus nerve dysfunction, why so many middle age men and women experience "vagal toxicity," and how suppressed vagal tone shuts down fat-burning, slows thyroid conversion (T4 → T3), increases inflammation, disrupts digestion, and tanks HRV. You'll also hear Debbie's personal case study — connecting her GI-MAP results, MEScreen mitochondrial findings, HRV data, LF/HF ratios, blood chemistry patterns, and real-time tracking using SweetBeat Life to show what chronic sympathetic dominance actually looks like inside the body. Then we explore VNS (vagus nerve stimulation) therapy, how it works, why the research is exploding, and exactly how Debbie is using Pulsetto daily to retrain her nervous system and restore metabolic flexibility. IN THIS EPISODE YOU'LL LEARN: • Why vagus nerve dysfunction blocks T3 from entering your cells • How LPS, H. pylori, low stomach acid & sluggish bile suppress vagal tone • The "freeze mode" most midlife women don't know they're in • HRV, LF/HF, and what your nervous system is really telling you • How chronic sympathetic stress shuts down fat-burning • Why VNS is becoming a game-changer for digestion, sleep, thyroid & metabolism • Debbie's daily Pulsetto protocol + what changed in her data • How to rebuild your vagal tone and create a stronger FutureYou PULSETTO VNS (Debbie's Favorite Tool for Stress Reset): Strengthen your vagus nerve, improve HRV, and calm your stress response — anytime, anywhere.

You don't need to do more—you just need to do one small thing. If you want next, I can: • Tighten this into a 2-sentence Apple Podcasts–style blurb • Write a spoken intro/outro you can record in one take • Create a “Notes from Future You” version for the show notes Tiny tweaks. Massive meaning. ??

In Episode 1, I revealed the clues hidden in my labs — the WHY behind my fatigue, slower recovery, reduced power output, dry skin, and metabolic slowdown. Now in Part 3 & Part 4 of my personal case study, we turn insight into ACTION. You'll learn: The ROOT-CAUSE MAP of my body • Low ATP from microbiome imbalance • Fat malabsorption choking metabolism • LPS/endotoxin stress suppressing fat burning • High cortisol blocking thyroid activation • Oxidative stress damaging mitochondria • Genetic vulnerabilities amplifying the effect How this showed up in real life • Running performance dropping • Heart rate spikes in Zone 2 • Needing more fuel on long efforts • Harder time building + maintaining muscle • Skin + hormone changes • Mood and motivation shifts The 4-Phase FutureYou Blueprint™ Plan I built for myself PHASE 1 — Digest • Absorb • Drain PHASE 2 — Kill • Clear • Rebuild PHASE 3 — Mitochondria + Muscle Reboot PHASE 4 — Longevity Optimization I walk you through the WHY behind every tool, including: • TUDCA • Tributyrin (butyrate) • S. boulardii • Phosphatidylcholine • Creatine, CoQ10, PQQ, DHA • Nervous system support • HBOT, sauna, cold exposure This is exactly how I help clients transform from burned-out and metabolically stuck → to energized, strong, and aging powerfully. If you're ready to create your own FutureYou Blueprint™, this episode will show you what's possible when you finally stop guessing — and start investigating.

Are you training hard, eating clean, and doing "all the right things"… but your body still isn't responding the way it used to? That was me. Even as a lifelong athlete and Functional Diagnostic Nutrition Practitioner — I hit a wall. My power dipped. My runs felt harder. My skin changed. Fat loss stalled. Recovery lagged. Something wasn't adding up. So I became my own case study. In this two-part deep-dive series, I take you behind the scenes of my personal health investigation — the exact process I use with clients to build their FutureYou Blueprint™ using: • GI MAP gut microbiome testing • Advanced blood chemistry analysis • Mescreen™ mitochondrial function testing • Genetic stress + metabolism vulnerability profiling • My symptom timeline and history In Part 1 & Part 2, you'll learn:

Cholesterol, Bile Flow & Statins: The Hidden Drivers of Metabolic Slowdown What Low Cholesterol Really Means for Hormones, Detox & Energy Most people think lowering cholesterol is always "good"… But when your cholesterol gets pushed too low — especially from medications like statins — your metabolism can quietly shut down from the inside out. In Part 2 of this FutureYou Blueprint™ series, Coach Debbie Potts reveals the bile–detox–hormone connection behind cholesterol, and why sluggish bile flow is one of the earliest drivers of metabolic dysfunction.

Today's conversation is about second acts that arrive not quietly—but boldly. Kim Gottlieb-Walker published her debut novel at age 78 after a 50-year career as a photographer. She also leads the Vintage Writers, a lively weekly Zoom group of women authors over 70. Joining her is Roselyn Teukolsky, a former math and computer science educator who retired and now writes fiction. This conversation explores creative courage, identity shifts, the power of starting something new – and the value of community. Kim Gottlieb-Walker and Roselyn Teukolsky join us from California. _________________________ Planning for retirement? Check out our recommended Best Books for Retirement _________________________ Bios Kim Gottlieb-Walker's  career as a photographer covered a wide range of subjects, from classic rock and roll, reggae, and politics in the ‘60s and ‘70s to major motion pictures and television shows. Now in her late 70s, she has reinvented herself as a novelist. While still at UCLA (where she  received a BA in Motion Picture production) and shortly thereafter, she shot for underground LA newspapers and magazines including Crawdaddy, the Staff, and Music World. She  also shot the stills for John Carpenter's Halloween, The Fog, Christine and Escape from New York and worked at Paramount Pictures for nine years as the production photographer for Cheers, and five years for Family Ties. For three decades she  was an elected representative for still photographers on the National Executive Board of IATSE Local 600, the International Cinematographers Guild. Her coffee-table photo books Bob Marley and the Golden Age of Reggae and On Set with John Carpenter were published by Titan Press (UK) distributed by Random House (USA) and both are now in multiple printing. They have editions in Japanese, Russian and French. She's  had gallery shows in London, Los Angeles and New York. Her novels are  Lenswoman in Love – a novel of the 1960s & ‘70s (her debut) and the not-yet published historical novel Caterina by Moonlight, about a girl growing up in renaissance Florence in the late 15th century. Her short story “Summer of Love – 1967” appears in the multi-award-winning anthology Feisty Deeds. Former math and computer science teacher, Roselyn Teukolsky, is the author of A Reluctant Spy, an unconventional spy thriller, and The Fourth Woman, a cautionary tale about online dating. Teukolsky has long been intrigued by the dilemmas faced by smart women in male-dominated settings. Working as a computer science teacher has given her the familiarity to create an authentic female protagonist, a brilliant computer scientist, who, in the latest novel, must ward off a ransomware attack and an online-dating predator. Teukolsky has a B.Sc. in Math and Chemistry from the University of the Witwatersrand in Johannesburg, and an M.S. in Math Education from Cornell. She is the author of the Barron's review book for AP Computer Science, which is currently in its 12th edition. Roselyn's favorite pastime is tournament bridge. She wrote How to Play Bridge with Your Spouse … and Survive (Master Point Press) in 2002. She lives in Pasadena, CA, with her husband, Saul Teukolsky. ________________________ Have a Question You’d Like Answered on the Podcast?

And it keeps your brain alive. There’s so much you have to learn with the learning curve of writing a book that it keeps your brain cells going. It stimulates them. I think there are many people out there who, after having had very active careers that are now retired and are feeling at lost ends. Every person has met interesting people during their lives, has had things happen to them, have had tragedies, have had happiness. Everybody has experiences in them that they might want to communicate. And writing, even though it seems like a very solitary occupation, it gives you a chance to put all of your life experience out into the world and to then connect with other people, other writers, to get the support that you need and to learn all of the different aspects of it. So it’s a very satisfying way to spend your retirement. Oh, well, it’s an amazing group of women. They’re all over 70. They’ve all reinvented themselves as writers. Some were writers beforehand, but most have reinvented themselves. And they cover all different kinds of writing of every genre. There’s self-help, there’s romance, there’s mystery, there’s historical fiction, and they’re all very talented, alert, wonderful women. And we meet every Tuesday on Zoom and commiserate and celebrate and give advice. And it has been the most wonderful support group. So we’re not isolated in retirement. We have interactions with people who have similar goals and similar challenges. It’s a tremendous support group.” – Kim Gottlieb-Walker On Age as an Asset ” It is never too late to reinvent yourself. It’s totally within your reach. You don’t have to depend on anyone else. All you have to do is sit down and let your ideas flow. And I wouldn’t worry about ageism because now that we’re in an age where you can self-publish, it doesn’t matter how old you are. And the fact that we have had such rich lives and so many experiences informs the writing and gives the writing depth and gives it reality because it’s based on our real experiences. No matter what you’re writing, you’re bringing your life experiences into it, which is incredibly valuable. So don’t worry about ageism. Don’t worry about the publisher. Just get it out on paper. Do it yourself.” – Kim Gottlieb-Walker On Starting to Write “A lot of my friends have said to me, Oh, they would love to write a book. They would love to write a book. They’re going to write a book. But the point is, if you don’t sit down every day at the same time, backside in the desk, it doesn’t happen. It just doesn’t. Even if you sit and do nothing. I would ask, what are you going to do in the next 10 years? And I say, I don’t know what I’m going to do. And I say, Well, why not write in the next 10 years?” – Roselyn Teukolsky

I was staring out the window and it was a foggy evening. And I wondered, we’re all asleep at night. And I was wondering, what happens at night? The coyotes are howling and no one is walking about. What really is going on? So I imagined in my own mind a short story evolving… I had something. Maybe four or five pages. And I showed it to Michelle. And she said, Jeez, Dad, it’s kind of an interesting story. Have you ever considered writing it into a novel? And I thought, well, I never gave it any thought. But now that you mention it, it might be a good idea.” – Neil On Intergenerational Collaboration “So this isn’t the first time we had worked together. We did work together professionally in commercial real estate, but this was the first time we had worked together on a creative project, more of a passion project. And what really struck me was how much we both loved writing and creativity. My dad had written things, as I mentioned, I have written things, but we’d never worked on something collaboratively together. So this to me was really surprising because it was so much fun.  And had I known it would be this much fun, I would have suggested something sooner. The work in this case is the fun. And another point in a professional setting, especially in real estate, my dad was the mentor and I was the mentee. Whereas this was new, this is new for both of us. The editing process, the literary world is a new discovery, which is fun equally on both sides. No one is the expert in this case. We’re learning together, which I found was really refreshing.” – Michelle On Transferable Skills “I found the process of writing a novel to be very similar to what I did for a living for about 50 years. Earlier on, as we were getting ready to build something, we would hire an architect, we would hire designers and planners and tradesmen. And I found myself ironically finding the same in script writers and editors and influencers that came to the party as well. And I found that writing a novel and building a building were very, very similar. And one of the characteristics in real estate development is the attitude of patience.” – Neil

Some people, most people in fact, never have the conversation with anybody that they’re caring for, their parents, aunt, uncle, whatever. Nobody knows how much money anybody has. Nobody knows what they’re spending their money on. Everybody keeps that information private. But even if you do step into the conversation, like my Mom and I stepped into it a little bit – big picture stuff. Can you afford two houses? No, we’re going to sell one. So you can’t have a summer place anymore kind of thing. When should Dad stop driving? Big picture stuff. But nobody ever gets down to the little stuff that you have to do when you fully take over for somebody. Like when I had to step in and take care of my Mom’s bills, it got down to such nitty gritty like, do you pay your electric bill on an automated schedule? Or how do you pay it otherwise? Do you mail in a check? Like nobody talks about that kind of stuff. But that is absolutely essential when you are a financial caregiver.” On Advocacy “One of the biggest things I did with my Mom and any care setting she was in was try to humanize her for the caregivers. They needed to see her as a person who was functional.  Now, because they all they saw was a little frail old lady who was out of it most of the time, they just assumed she had cognitive decline or dementia and they weren’t trying to get her back to any sort of baseline. And so what I did was primarily showed them like, Oh, isn’t this funny? I saw this video I took two weeks ago on my phone of my Mom playing Scrabble with us. You know my Mom was fine. And then she wasn’t and they just thought that she was always like she was in the hospital. And so to fight for services and fight for what you what you need out of them with an with a person who’s sick and aging is to constantly humanize them so that people in the medical industry want to help them.” On What To Do First “You need to make sure that you have the proper documents to help somebody. We are all legal adults and nobody can help us with certain things unless they have the proper authorization.  That’s a durable power of attorney, a healthcare proxy and some kind of will or trust for after the person dies plus beneficiary designations. You need to secure the person’s phone because so much today is run,  through our phones and if you don’t have the passcode, you’re going to hit a brick wall of no – and the brick wall of no is unmovable. So you need to secure that phone. You need two factor authentication. You need to know what banking apps, and you need to just know what’s in a person’s phone. Those are the two main important things. But the last thing is even more consequential. You need to know what the person wants. Their wishes matter. Having a conversation about what they want and what you’re able to do is absolutely essential both for your mental health, your wellbeing and for how much money you can spend on any particular thing. You just have to know what page everybody’s on.”
