Rabbit Hole Deep Dive Series: The Vagus Nerve, Aging & Hormones


Listen Later

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.
