Choline may not be a nutrient you think about every day — but it’s one of the most powerful players in your body’s energy production, brain performance, and detoxification system.

In this episode, we break down why choline is like a “master ingredient” in your body’s recipe book. It’s used to create two vital compounds:

• Phosphatidylcholine (PC) — the special fat that makes up your cell walls and keeps them strong, flexible, and able to communicate.

• Acetylcholine — a neurotransmitter that powers your memory, focus, muscle control, and vagus nerve function.

You’ll learn how chronic illness, mold exposure, and toxin load can quickly deplete your choline stores, forcing your body to choose between repairing cell membranes or keeping your vagus nerve running at full capacity. That imbalance can lead to constipation, bloating, brain fog, hormone recirculation, and sluggish recovery.

We’ll also cover why certain genetic variations (like PEMT and MTHFR) make you more vulnerable — and how testing, targeted nutrition, and the right supplements can help rebuild these pathways so your energy, digestion, and cognition can come back online.

If you’ve been feeling like you’re running at half-speed, this episode will help you understand why — and what you can do to turn it around.

In this first episode of our deep-dive series, I’m breaking down the hidden connection between total toxic burden, molecular mimicry, and autoimmune conditions like Hashimoto’s thyroiditis.

We’ll explore:

• How living with mold toxins, chemicals, heavy metals, and infections keeps your immune system stuck in overdrive

• Why toxic burden overload can push your body into autoimmune mode — even if your labs were normal for years

• The science of molecular mimicry and how gluten, viruses, and environmental triggers can “trick” your immune system into attacking your thyroid

• Why a gluten-free diet is non-negotiable for thyroid autoimmunity — and how even a single exposure can keep the immune attack going for months

• The role of gut health, nutrient deficiencies, and detox pathways in calming the autoimmune fire

This isn’t just about managing symptoms — it’s about finding and removing the root cause triggers so your body can regain immune tolerance and repair itself.

If you’ve been told “your labs look fine” but you still feel tired, inflamed, or foggy, Part One will help you connect the dots and see why true thyroid healing starts far beyond the thyroid itself.

Before I sit down with Dr. Nathan Bryan — one of the world’s leading researchers on nitric oxide — I want to take you on a deep-dive into why this tiny gas molecule is such a big deal for your health, performance, and longevity.

Nitric oxide (NO) is called the “miracle molecule” for good reason — it keeps your blood vessels relaxed, your circulation flowing, and your cells oxygenated. But here’s the problem: by the time we hit our 40s and 50s, most of us have lost nearly half of our NO production capacity. And that loss doesn’t just make you feel older — it can set the stage for hypertension, insulin resistance, brain fog, cold hands and feet, erectile dysfunction, poor exercise recovery, and even low stomach acid.

In this episode, we’ll unpack:

• What nitric oxide is and how your body makes it — the two main production pathways and how they interact

• Why NO production drops with age and lifestyle — from endothelial dysfunction to loss of oral nitrate-reducing bacteria

• The breath connection — how nasal breathing delivers a direct dose of NO, and why mouth breathing bypasses it

• The oral health link — how gum disease, tongue coating, and antibacterial mouthwash can choke off NO production

• Clinical correlations — how low NO shows up as high blood pressure, reduced exercise tolerance, brain fog, insulin resistance, and more

• Root cause solutions — diet, breathing, exercise, and oral care strategies to restore your body’s NO production naturally

This is your primer episode — the science, the “why it matters,” and the functional medicine connections — so you can get the most out of my upcoming interview with Dr. Bryan. When you hear his cutting-edge research and real-world applications, you’ll already have the foundation to take action right away.

If you care about staying fit, sharp, and vibrant from the inside out as you age, nitric oxide may be the single most overlooked tool in your toolkit. Let’s fix that before it’s too late.

In this cutting-edge episode, I sit down with journalist and author Henry Abbott to explore the revolutionary insights behind his upcoming book, Ballistic (coming May 2025 from W.W. Norton & Co.). Inspired by a new wave of research using granular movement data, Ballistic reveals how the way we land, jump, twist, and move holds critical clues to our health—and our breakdowns.

🦵 100% of NBA players who tore an ACL showed the same foot position on landing—before the injury. 📊 These patterns are not only trackable, but trainable. 🧠 We’re witnessing a radical shift: from treating injuries to predicting and preventing them.

Henry shares the incredible stories and scientific discoveries that reframe movement as data—not just performance. We discuss:

• How fascia, the nervous system, and joint dynamics are part of a bigger predictive system

• Why the future of sports medicine is proactive, not reactive

• The hidden ways your daily movement predicts long-term health

As David Epstein, author of Range, says:

“You will never think about your hips the same way again.”

📘 Ballistic is more than a book—it’s a wake-up call for athletes, practitioners, and anyone who wants to move smarter and stay pain-free.

In this must-listen episode of The Coach Debbie Potts Show, I’m joined by Damon Smith from CellCore Biosciences to break down one of the most crucial but overlooked pillars of healing: drainage pathways and the importance of the order of operations in detoxification.

We discuss why drainage must come before detox, how to identify signs your body isn’t eliminating properly, and what happens when toxins get mobilized but have nowhere to go. Damon outlines CellCore’s 4-Phase Roadmap and explains how to work with the body instead of against it.

When symptoms like fatigue, brain fog, skin flares, or constipation show up during a detox protocol, it's often a sign your drainage pathways are congested. In this episode, Damon shares how we go back to drainage basics to restore flow and reduce the burden on the body.

This includes:

💧 Proper hydration – to keep the lymph and bowels moving ⚡ CT-Minerals – to recharge cells and support electrical signaling for detox 🌿 Lymphatic support – through dry brushing, movement, and oils like Vibrant Blue Lymph™ 🟢 Bile flow optimization – with Advanced TUDCA, bitters, phosphatidylcholine, and drainage activators 😌 Emotional detox – recognizing that stored trauma and chronic stress can clog the system just as much as toxins

These tools create the foundation for a smoother, safer, and more effective detox—especially when using powerful protocols like CellCore’s.

Most people think acid reflux means they have too much stomach acid — but the opposite is usually true. In this episode, I dive into why optimal stomach acid (pH 1.5–3) is the “Goldilocks zone” for digestion, nutrient absorption, and microbial defense — and what happens when it’s too low.

We also explore H. pylori, a common stomach bacteria that can disrupt acid production, trigger gut inflammation, and set off a cascade of symptoms like bloating, reflux, nutrient deficiencies, and even mood shifts.

• Why stomach acid isn’t your enemy — and how it protects you

• The critical role of pH 1.5–3 for digesting proteins, absorbing B12, and killing pathogens

• How H. pylori uses urease to neutralize stomach acid, creating the perfect storm for overgrowth and dysfunction

• Signs you may have low stomach acid or H. pylori infection

• The downstream impact on the gut-brain axis, histamine issues, and overall health

• Functional strategies to restore healthy acid levels and support gut repair

Stomach acid is your first line of defense and digestion. When H. pylori or stress pushes your acid too low, it sets the stage for gut dysfunction, reflux, and chronic symptoms. By addressing root causes and restoring the digestive “fire,” you can break the cycle and reclaim your gut health.
