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.
It's not a crystal ball … but we think it comes pretty darn close. Jeffrey Hirsch, editor of the Stock Trader's Almanac, joins the “Investing with IBD” podcast to discuss the Fed's next moves, why the election cycle matters to traders, and the January trifecta. He also talks about seasonal patterns and how to prepare your portfolio whether you're focused on short-term trades or long-term gains. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

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:

Featuring: Emma Levine, MD, University of Chicago MedicineThe GI Research Foundation was able to produce this podcast with a sponsorship from Metro Infusion Center.In this episode, Dr. Levine, a current fellow with The University of Chicago Gastroenterology, Hepatology and Nutrition Fellowship training program, shares her 2025 GI Research Foundation Young Investigator Awards study on the reciprocal relationship between sleep and inflammation in IBD. We talk about why poor sleep is so common in people with IBD and how it can worsen disease activity—even when symptoms seem under control. Dr. Levine explains how her team is using metabolomics to uncover biomarkers that link sleep and inflammation, and why mindfulness-based approaches like yoga nidra and gut-directed hypnotherapy could be game-changers. It's a fascinating look at how improving sleep might become a safe, non-drug strategy to help manage IBD.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.

#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.

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.

Send us a textWe look at the emerging research linking ultramarathoning to a possible increased risk of colorectal cancer, particularly in individuals with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). The discussion highlights the importance of hydration, nutrition, and recovery strategies for endurance athletes. Vitamin D and gut health also play an important role in decreasing risks. Takeaways-- Some research suggests that Ultramarathoning may increase the risk of colorectal cancer.- Hydration and nutrition are critical for endurance athletes.- Vitamin D levels should be regularly assessed, especially in athletes.- The gut microbiome can change with extreme endurance activities.- Recovery is essential for preventing long-term damage in athletes.- Training the gut to tolerate nutrition is important for performance.- Repeated extreme endurance events can lead to gut ischemia (lack of blood flow).- Nutrient deficiencies can exacerbate health risks in athletes with IBD.- A tailored approach to nutrition is necessary for athletes with IBD.- Understanding the mechanisms behind gut health can inform better training practices.Chapters:00:00- Introduction to Ultrarunning and Colon Cancer Risk02:37- Exploring the Connection Between Endurance and Colorectal Cancer05:17- The Role of Hydration and Nutrition in Endurance Sports08:07- Nutritional Considerations for Athletes with IBD10:48- The Importance of Vitamin D in Athletic Performance13:38- Understanding the Mechanisms of Gut Damage in Endurance Athletes16:23- The Impact of Recovery on Gut Health19:05- Conclusions and Recommendations for Athletes with IBDFollow us on instagram @crohns_and_colitis_dietitiansFollow us on youtube @thecrohnscolitisdietitiansWe love helping provide quality content on IBD nutrition and making it more accessible to all through our podcast, instagram and youtube channel.

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.

Send us a textWelcome to episode 1 of our series- IBD Can Eat Me guest hosted by Stacey Collins, IBD RD. In this series, Stacey will interview other Dietitians who also specialize in IBD. This week we welcomed Venus Kalami- board-certified pediatric Dietitian Nutritionist! What if the strict diet you're told to follow does more harm than good? We sit down with pediatric dietitian Venus to unpack how nutrition in IBD can support health without sacrificing joy, culture, or family life. From Stanford Children's IBD and celiac center to medical affairs and public education, Venus brings a rare mix of clinical depth and human warmth—and she doesn't shy away from hard truths.We dig into the pressure families feel to “do everything,” the overuse of restrictive therapeutic diets, and the real risks that come with them: malnutrition, ARFID, pediatric feeding disorders, and lasting food trauma. Venus shares a clear way to tell the difference between a transient food reaction and an inflammatory flare, helping patients step off the rollercoaster of fear and over-correction. She also shows how to make care culturally inclusive with simple, powerful questions: What do you like? What do you cook? What feels doable at home? It's a move from generic handouts to plans that honor heritage foods and real life.You'll hear a vivid case study where a patient referred for low FODMAP improved dramatically without elimination—just lactase with dairy, spreading fruit across the day, and changing other patterns developed from past food trauma. We talk about involving mental health early, “asking around the ask” when supplements come up, and borrowing pediatric best practices for adults who shouldn't have to navigate IBD alone. The theme running through it all: patients deserve permission to dream beyond survival.

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?

Setting the Stage — The North-to-South Root Cause Map: How Inflammation Really Starts "Inflammation isn't random — it's routed." In this first Root Cause Deep Dive episode, Coach Debbie Potts reveals how inflammation follows a predictable north-to-south pathway—from your brain all the way down to your gut barrier. If you've ever felt bloated, foggy, or fatigued and been told it's "just inflammation," this episode explains why—and where it truly begins. You'll learn how stress, low stomach acid, sluggish bile, and a weak gut lining quietly sabotage your metabolism and immunity… and how to fix it step by step. Coach Debbie walks you through how your vagus nerve, stomach acid, bile, enzymes, and glycocalyx work together to keep digestion smooth, detox flowing, and inflammation calm.
OK, so we've got the Fed's rate cuts and positive earnings, right? Then why are we seeing stronger opens, weaker closes and fewer stocks trading above their moving averages?

Are you feeling "off" even though you're doing everything "right"? In this solo deep-dive, Coach Debbie maps the North-to-South flow of health—from brain and vagus nerve to stomach acid, bile, liver, gut, and mitochondria—so you can see how fatigue, belly fat, restless sleep, brain fog, and hormone chaos are often communication problems, not willpower problems. You'll learn how to restore safety signals, open drainage, support bile and choline, and retrain mitochondria from defense to performance. We connect the dots with real testing—PNOĒ RMR/AMR, GI-MAP, DUTCH, Total Tox, MRT, genetics, and Nutritional Therapy Analysis—so you can stop guessing and start rebuilding your Future You™.

Send us a textWant a clear, human guide to modern IBD care without the jargon? We're joined by Janette Villalon, a physician assistant at UC Irvine's IBD Center, who brings a front-line view of what truly helps patients: personalized therapy choices, honest safety talk, and practical plans that fit real life. She traces the evolution from a handful of anti-TNFs to a wider toolkit—anti-integrins, IL-12/23 and IL-23 inhibitors, JAK inhibitors, and S1P modulators—and explains how we match treatments to goals like fast relief, fewer side effects, and coverage of extraintestinal issues such as arthritis, uveitis, and psoriasis.We dig into how APPs power the day-to-day of IBD clinics, from education to monitoring and rapid access, and how the GHAPP Conference and national societies elevated advanced practice training. Janette breaks down when clinical trials make sense, why strict inclusion criteria matter, and how logistics can steer decisions when someone is very sick. She demystifies biosimilars, outlining FDA standards that support confident switches when insurance demands it, and shares how she helps patients balance infusions, injections, or pills against travel, work, and adherence.For those planning a family, Janette offers timely guidance: aim for clinical and endoscopic remission three to six months before conception, continue pregnancy-safe maintenance therapy, and discuss starting low-dose aspirin at 12 to 16 weeks to lower preeclampsia risk, coordinated with maternal-fetal medicine.Looking ahead, we explore precision medicine and AI—predictive markers, microbiome insights, and smarter monitoring that could reduce trial-and-error and catch flares early.

In this deep-dive episode, Coach Debbie Potts unpacks one of the most overlooked root causes of chronic inflammation — LPS and endotoxins — and how they quietly sabotage your gut, brain, hormones, and metabolism. LPS (lipopolysaccharides) are fragments of bacteria that normally stay safely inside your gut. But when your gut lining or glycocalyx barrier breaks down — from stress, poor diet, toxins, or sluggish bile flow — these bacterial toxins escape into your bloodstream, triggering a silent firestorm of inflammation known as metabolic endotoxemia. Once in circulation, LPS can:
