I give you my annual holiday message!

Featuring: Tenzin Choden, MD, University of Chicago Medicine The GI Research Foundation was able to produce this podcast with a sponsorship from Metro Infusion Center. In this episode, Tenzin Choden, MD, a board-certified gastroenterologist and clinical researcher at UChicago Medicine, shares her 2025 Annual Grant Cycle Award study investigating how IBD uniquely impacts older adults, who represent 30% of the overall IBD population and 10-15% of new diagnoses. To access other episodes of Visceral: Listen to Your Gut and learn more about the GI Research Foundation's support of clinical and laboratory research to treat, prevent, and cure digestive diseases, please visit https://www.giresearchfoundation.org/. Available on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, and everywhere else you listen.

Based on a popular well known Christmas carol this episode reminds us about prescribing thoughtfully, recognising key red flags, and keeping often-missed diagnoses like bile acid diarrhoea, coeliac disease and liver disease on the radar. The episode also reinforces the importance of early-life microbiome influences and structured differential diagnosis for abdominal symptoms in primary care. Prescribing and de-prescribing • Taper PPIs rather than stopping abruptly to avoid rebound acid hypersecretion, driven by upregulated gastrin during PPI therapy. • Always link NSAID use and H. pylori status to ulcer risk, and remember: gastric ulcers typically cause pain with meals, duodenal ulcers 2–3 hours after eating. Diagnosis, tests and red flags • Use three coeliac test “groups”: serology (tTG/EMA, with total IgA checked), genetics (HLA‑DQ2/DQ8) and duodenal biopsies; ensure patients eat gluten for at least six weeks pre‑testing and to endoscopy. • Actively screen for GI red flags: dysphagia and weight loss (upper GI), PR bleeding and unexplained iron‑deficiency anaemia (lower GI), and escalate for urgent investigation. Practical tools and endoscopy indications • Use the Bristol Stool Chart (types 1–7) routinely in consultations to standardise conversations about stool form and avoid ambiguous “food analogies.” • Remember the three main indications for endoscopy: diagnostic (e.g. dyspepsia, chronic diarrhoea), surveillance (Barrett's, polyp follow‑up) and therapeutic (RFA/EMR in Barrett's, polyp removal). Conditions to consider and not miss • Keep bile acid diarrhoea prominent in the differential for IBS‑D: up to ~40% of IBS‑D patients may have it, particularly with ileal disease/resection, Crohn's, or post‑cholecystectomy. • Maintain a broad GI bleeding differential beyond cancer (e.g. gastritis, peptic ulcer, Mallory–Weiss tear, haemorrhoids/fissures, liver disease/coagulopathy, IBD, angiodysplasia, diverticular disease). Liver disease, microbiome and early life • Remember major causes of liver failure in primary care: excess alcohol, paracetamol overdose, DILI, autoimmune hepatitis, Wilson's disease, haemochromatosis, viral hepatitis B/C and progressive MASLD. • Support breastfeeding where possible to promote a healthy infant microbiome (HMOs favouring bifidobacteria) and recognise how birth mode and early microbes shape immune development and later allergy/immune risk. Structuring abdominal symptom assessment • For undifferentiated abdominal symptoms, consciously work through a core list: IBS, lactose intolerance, coeliac disease, gastroenteritis, SIBO, IBD, diverticular disease, colorectal cancer, peptic ulcer disease, gallstones/biliary colic, pancreatic insufficiency and medication‑related causes (e.g. metformin, NSAIDs, antibiotics). • Use these categories to guide targeted history, examination, basic tests and thresholds for referral back to gastroenterology or specialist services.

Send us a textWhat does great IBD care look like when the system won't make it easy? We sit down with Dr. Adam Ehrlich, Section Chief of Gastroenterology at Temple Health and GI fellowship program director, to explore how he builds patient-centered care in an underserved setting—where insurance denials, missing records, and real-life logistics collide with complex disease.We talk about health literacy, trust, and the conversations that actually change outcomes. Adam explains how he frames risks and benefits with clarity, why the “risks of doing nothing” deserve equal airtime, and how he balances mode of therapy—IV, subcutaneous, or oral—against lifestyle, trauma history, pregnancy plans, and coverage rules. We dig into prison medicine's constraints, from medication access to policy barriers around scheduling, and the creative problem-solving required to keep patients safe and informed. He shares why being honest about uncertainty builds credibility, and how an early investment in patient education pays off with better monitoring and shared targets for remission.The episode also gets practical about personalization. We discuss drug levels with infliximab when severe colitis “loses” medication into the stool, when it's wise to de-escalate dosing, and how habits from flare days can persist after inflammation settles. Adam offers tools to retrain routines, navigate IBS overlap, and align care with quality of life goals like driving, work travel, and showing up at a kid's soccer game without anxiety. As a fellowship director, he reveals how he equips new gastroenterologists to handle today's broader therapy menu, think beyond flowcharts, and advocate through insurance barriers with persistence and purpose.If this conversation resonates, tap follow, share it with someone who needs it, and leave a quick review.

Louis Diamond (CEO of Diamond Consultants) joins David DeCelle to break down what really drives advisor transitions—and how top teams evaluate moves to independence, new platforms, or M&A opportunities. Louis shares the "consultative recruiting" model his firm has built over nearly 30 years, why freedom, flexibility, and control are the three core forces behind most breakaway decisions, and what a realistic timeline looks like from exploration to execution.

Butyrate, a short-chain fatty acid produced when gut bacteria ferment dietary fiber, serves as both an energy source for colon cells and an important signaling molecule for immune regulation By inhibiting histone deacetylases (HDAC) and suppressing the NF-κB pathway, butyrate acts as a powerful anti-inflammatory agent, helping prevent chronic inflammation that contributes to various diseases Butyrate promotes regulatory T cell development while modulating other immune cells, helping maintain immune tolerance and preventing autoimmune responses while supporting balanced immune function Butyrate plays a significant role in managing chronic diseases like IBD, multiple sclerosis and Type 2 diabetes by reducing inflammation and supporting gut barrier function Emerging research suggests that butyrate influences brain health by modulating the gut-brain axis; it reduces neuroinflammation and supports cognitive function, and plays a supporting role in the prevention of neurological disorders like Alzheimer's disease and depression

Send us a textIn this episode, we discuss what we would tell our newly diagnosed selves about living with IBD. We emphasize the importance of seeking help early, understanding inflammation, and finding trustworthy resources. We also discuss the role of nutrition in managing IBD and the empowerment that comes from being informed and proactive in one's health journey.Takeaways-- Seek help early so that you have a supportive plan.- Understand that inflammation can exist without symptoms.- Regular monitoring of inflammation is crucial.- Low appetite and weight loss need to be assessed by your provider.- Find trustworthy resources and support systems.- Empower yourself with knowledge about your condition.- Nutrition plays a vital role in managing IBD.- You have a role in your treatment plan.You can find our Flare Guide here:

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.

You're tired all the time. Your joints ache. Your brain feels foggy. Your stomach is always off. You've been to multiple doctors, run the labs, and everything comes back "normal." So you're told it's stress, or aging, or maybe it's all in your head. It's not. It's chronic inflammation, and it's the hidden thread connecting most long-term diseases, from heart disease and diabetes to Alzheimer's, autoimmune conditions, and even cancer. That's chronic inflammation, and it's happening in your joints, your gut, your brain, your arteries, and your metabolism- quietly, invisibly, for years before symptoms force you to pay attention. You'll learn the 5R framework for gut repair, why sleep is the most underrated anti-inflammatory tool, how to eat to lower inflammation starting today, and which supplements actually move the needle when layered on top of solid habits. If you've been chasing diagnoses, collecting labels, or told your symptoms don't match anything "real," this episode is your roadmap out. Chronic inflammation is measurable, fixable, and under your control once you understand what's feeding it.

We dive into the quiet power of the thymus—nestled behind your breastbone and aligned with the heart chakra—and unpack how this small organ teaches T cells what to attack and what to leave alone. When heartbreak, loss, or chronic stress hits, that lesson blurs, and the body can slip into hypervigilance, shallow breathing, and autoimmune flares. We connect the dots between emotional memory, the heart's intrinsic nervous system, and the flare patterns many women see during perimenopause and menopause.Together, we map why adverse childhood experiences train the body to scan for danger and how that pattern can carry into adult relationships and hormone balance. You'll hear how the heart's “memory” shows up physiologically, why modern medicine rarely targets the thymus directly, and where complementary practices can fill the gap. We talk candidly about autoimmunity—lupus, rheumatoid arthritis, MS, IBD—and why symptoms often intensify during times of grief or reminders of past harm.Then we get practical. You'll learn step-by-step, accessible tools to bring your immune system back toward tolerance: gentle thymus tapping with safety-centered affirmations, heart-focused breathing to lengthen the exhale and engage vagal tone, and simple Reiki-style hand placement to soothe the chest and upper back. We also share compassion journaling prompts that shift the nervous system from self-surveillance to self-support. For women navigating midlife, we outline how shifting hormones interact with stress and why restoring heart-centered safety can reduce flare risk.Want to go deeper? Grab our Chakra and Hormone Guide from the show notes and join our community as we prepare for a special immersive experience in early 2026.

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? Book your PNOĒ Metabolic Test or schedule a discovery call at:

#184 - Crohn's and Colitis Impossible To Heal? He Did It Naturally — and Now Helps Thousands Do the Same   How He Reversed Crohn's and Ulcerative Colitis — and What It Teaches Us About Healing Anything with Dane Johnson What if the thing that almost killed you became the reason you truly started living? In this episode, I sit down with Dane Johnson, founder and CEO of Crohn's Colitis Lifestyle and the creator of the SHIELD Program — a holistic system that's helped thousands of people around the world reverse inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) symptoms and rebuild their health, naturally. Dane's story reads like a medical miracle — but what makes it powerful is how repeatable it is. After nearly dying from Crohn's and ulcerative colitis, multiple hospitalizations, and a laundry list of failed medications, he turned his healing into a blueprint for anyone with chronic illness who's ready to stop managing symptoms and start reclaiming their life. We unpack what he discovered along the way:

Send us a textThe hardest part isn't always the pain; it's the fog—those days when the labels keep changing, the meds blur together, and the bills are louder than your body. That's where Stephanie A. Wynn stepped in, transforming her Crohn's journey into a movement for clarity, access, and equity.We sit down with Stephanie—author, podcaster, and founder of the Stephanie A. Wynn Foundation—to unpack how a misdiagnosis spiral, two heartbreaking pregnancy losses, and a sixth GI finally led to answers and action. She walks us through the IBD Patient Navigator Program she built to connect people with the care team they actually need: GI, primary care, mental health, dietitian, pelvic floor therapist, and, when needed, a colorectal surgeon. We talk about practical tools that change outcomes—recording appointments, coming with three priority questions, tracking symptoms and meals, and learning your labs so they can become signals instead of mysteries.Stephanie also opens up her book Navigating IBD: A Six-Week Blueprint for Better Gut Health which she designed to slow overwhelm and teach the language of care including treatment decisions, and what “knowing your numbers” truly means. We dig into clinical trials—why she calls it clinical research, how to qualify, what to ask about aftercare, and ways to participate through labs or tissue samples to boost representation. We tackle health disparities and social determinants of health head-on: transportation, refrigeration for meds, school support, and why trust is built by showing up with real solutions.This is a conversation about agency and community for anyone living with Crohn's disease or ulcerative colitis. You'll leave with a sharper checklist, a stronger voice, and a reminder that you are not alone—and that the right tools and team can change everything.If this helped you, follow the show, leave a quick review, and share it with someone who needs a clear path forward today.Links: Link to Stephanie's IBD bookThe Stephanie A.

Are you eating all the right foods, taking supplements, and still feeling tired, bloated, or stuck with stubborn weight? You might not have a food problem… you might have a digestion problem. In this episode of The Coach Debbie Potts Show, Debbie takes you deep inside the root cause of many "mystery" symptoms — low stomach acid (HCl) — and explains why this one simple imbalance can create a domino effect across your metabolism, hormones, energy, and brain. You'll learn: ✅ How stomach acid actually works — and why it's the spark plug for your entire digestive system ✅ The connection between low HCl, fatigue, hormone imbalance, thyroid function, and brain fog ✅ The weird clues your body gives you (like brittle nails, reflux, or even body odor) ✅ How HCl "unlocks" essential minerals like iron, zinc, and magnesium — and what happens when it doesn't ✅ Why PPIs and antacids can make things worse long-term ✅ The fascinating nitric oxide connection for gut health, motility, and LES tone ✅ How to safely restore your stomach acid, rebuild digestion, and reignite your metabolism ✅ The step-by-step FutureYou™ Rebuild Plan to move from metabolic chaos to metabolic harmony "Your stomach acid isn't the problem — it's the messenger. When you restore that first spark, everything downstream—your energy, hormones, and metabolism—starts working again." Topics Covered: 00:00 – Intro: Digestion as the missing link 04:30 – What stomach acid really does 08:00 – The mineral vault: how HCl unlocks nutrients 13:00 – Weird signs of low stomach acid 17:00 – PPIs, antacids & rebound reflux 22:00 – Nitric oxide and the vagus nerve 27:00 – The FutureYou™ Rebuild Plan 35:00 – Closing: How to test, not guess Resources Mentioned:

Aging isn't just a number — it's biology in motion. In this deep-dive episode, Coach Debbie Potts breaks down how to rebuild your metabolism, restore cellular safety, and retrain your body to burn fat efficiently using the latest tools in metabolic science. Learn how your mitochondria, hormones, and nervous system work together — and what happens when they don't. Using insights from PNOĒ Metabolic Testing, AMPK/mTOR pathways, the Cell Danger Response, and vagus nerve regulation, you'll discover how to move from Metabolic Chaos® to Metabolic Harmony — the true foundation of fat loss, performance, and longevity. Inside this Episode PNOĒ Metabolic Testing: See exactly how your body burns fuel (fat vs. carbs) and pinpoint your FatMax zone. AMPK Activation: How to unlock your body's natural repair and fat-burning mode through training, fasting, and cold exposure. Cell Danger Response: Why your mitochondria hit the brakes — and how to tell them it's safe to produce energy again. Vagus Nerve Reset: Strengthen the "safety switch" that controls digestion, hormones, and inflammation. mTOR & Midlife Muscle: Reignite muscle growth and recovery through protein timing, strength training, and hormone balance. Cortisol & Hormones: Why chronic stress blocks fat loss — and how to restore your natural cortisol rhythm. The FutureYou Formula: PNOĒ + Functional Testing + Nervous System Reset = Metabolic Harmony. Key Takeaways You can't out-train a stressed-out nervous system — calm first, build later. Fatigue, stubborn belly fat, and slow recovery are signals of a body stuck in protection mode. Metabolic freedom comes from restoring safety, flexibility, and flow — not more restriction or cardio. Aging well is a skill you can train when you understand your metabolic blueprint.

Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) causes inflammation in the digestive tract and can raise important questions for those who are pregnant or planning to be. Is your pregnancy “high risk” because of IBD? Can you safely stay on your medication? We spoke with Uma Mahadevan, MD, director of the UCSF Colitis and Crohn’s Disease Center, about how to prepare for a healthy pregnancy with IBD. She explains why keeping your condition under control is the safest choice for your baby, which modern IBD medications are considered low-risk in pregnancy, and how a coordinated care team can make all the difference.

Episode 61 Focus: Special Guest Dr Jason Hawrelak ND.We discuss why health is an active daily process rather than an occasional state, the subtle damages of the Western diet, the distinction between sugar and fruit, and personalized approaches to healing serious GI conditions.Mouse Study Revelation: Research suggests that mice eating a junk food diet only on the weekends suffered almost as much microbiome damage as mice eating junk food seven days a week, illustrating the importance of consistent, daily nourishment.The Gut-Brain-Immune Axis: The decisions we make daily—from food choices to stress and sleep—directly impact the microbiome, which, in turn, influences mood, immunity, and long-term disease risk.Saturated Fat, and gut health.Crohn's Disease and IBD: IBD symptoms (Crohn's, Colitis) show similar patterns of dysbiosis: too few beneficial, anti-inflammatory bacteria (like Faecalibacterium prausnitzii) and too many pro-inflammatory or pathogenic species (like certain E. coli strains).Dietary Emulsifiers: A major driver of IBD and inflammation is the consumption of dietary emulsifiers (e.g., carrageenan, polysorbate 80) found in ultra-processed foods. These compounds actively strip away the protective mucus layer, allowing microbes and toxins to interact with the immune system.Saturated Fat and Pathogens: Saturated fats (from dairy, lard, or coconut) behave differently in the gut:They encourage the growth of bacteria like Bilophila wadsworthia (a bile-loving bug) by increasing bile sulfur levels.Bilophila produces hydrogen sulfide gas, which is linked to IBD risk and visceral hypersensitivity (painful, oversensitive nerves in the gut).Saturated fat can also bind to and increase the absorption of endotoxin (a bacterial toxin), driving systemic inflammation.Optimal Protein: A plant-forward omnivore or pescatarian diet is optimal. A high-fiber diet mitigates many of the risks associated with moderate protein intake. For IBD flares, temporarily reducing red meat is often necessary to suppress hydrogen sulfide-producing microbes.Key Takeaways:The Single Most Important Action: Eat a diverse, high-fiber, plant-forward diet aiming for ∼50g of fiber daily.Be Aware of Toxins: Avoid ultra-processed foods, emulsifiers, and minimize pesticide exposure (eat organic when possible) to protect the gut lining.You can find out more about Dr Jason Hawrelak ND, BNat(Hons), PhD, FNHAA, MASN, FACN ProbioticAdvisor.comInterested in testing your gut microbes?
