Is Your Body Stuck in Cell Danger Mode? Reasons for Unexplained Fatigue, Brain Fog & Weight Gain


Listen Later

Are you feeling burnt out, bloated, or just not like yourself anymore—despite eating right and working out? On today's episode of The COACH DEBBIE POTTS Show, we dive deep into why many high-performing individuals hit a wall in midlife... and how the answers may lie inside your cells.

Coach Debbie Potts shares how she transformed her own health journey—after years of "adrenal exhaustion" and burnout from racing through life—by uncovering the root causes of her dysfunction using advanced functional lab testing.

🔬 What You'll Learn in This Episode:
  • What is the Cell Danger Response (CDR) and how it hijacks your metabolism, hormones, and brain

  • Why your mitochondria are more than just "energy factories"—they're your cellular security system

  • The power of combining mescreen™ mitochondrial testing, DUTCH hormone panels, OATs, genetics, and blood chemistry to create a personalized FutureYou Program

  • How your symptoms (fatigue, weight gain, mood swings, poor recovery) may not be "aging"—they may be cellular dysfunction

  • Debbie's personal story of "Life Is Not a Race" and how she now helps others live with intention, not depletion

🧬 Featured Tools & Testing Mentioned:
  • Mescreen™ Mitochondrial Function Panel (save $100 with code COACHDEBBIEPOTTS)

  • DUTCH Complete Hormone Test

  • Organic Acids Test (OAT)

  • Genetic Analysis (Strategene & WildHealth)

  • Blood Chemistry Panel with Functional Ranges

💡 Key Takeaways:
  • Chronic stress, environmental toxins, and hidden infections can trap the body in a chronic "danger mode"

  • Adrenal fatigue is a symptom—not a root cause; it's time to go deeper

  • True healing and performance optimization begin at the cellular level

  • Functional testing empowers you to build the Future You—stronger, sharper, and more resilient with age
