In this episode of The Coach Debbie Potts Show, I'm joined by Jonathan Glass, ND, M.Ac, Ayurvedic Practitioner, and author of Total Life Cleanse. Together, we explore how to effectively support your liver, lymph, and detox pathways using the time-tested principles of Ayurvedic medicine—combined with modern functional health insights.

If you've ever felt tired, inflamed, bloated, or stuck—despite "doing all the right things"—this episode is for you.

You'll learn:

• Why the liver is the master filter and emotional processor of the body

• How ancient Ayurvedic concepts like Agni, Ama, and Pitta relate to modern detox

• The real reasons detox protocols can backfire (and how to do it right)

• Seasonal cleanse strategies for long-term vitality, hormone balance, and clarity

• Practical tools: from food and herbs to lifestyle rituals, breathwork, and mindset

Jonathan also shares highlights from his book Total Life Cleanse, which guides readers through a safe and transformative 28-day process that resets the body, mind, and spirit.

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.

🎙️ Podcast Description – Part One: Unlocking the Glycocalyx

In this episode of The Coach Debbie Potts Show, we dive deep into the glycocalyx — the invisible, sugar-protein shield that coats every cell in your body and lines your blood vessels, brain, gut, liver, and kidneys.

You'll learn: ✅ What the glycocalyx actually is and how it's built ✅ Why it's essential for vascular health, detox, brain function, and gut integrity ✅ How this delicate layer gets damaged by toxins, stress, inflammation, and overtraining ✅ The hidden connections between glycocalyx breakdown, chronic inflammation, leaky gut, leaky brain, autoimmunity, and cardiovascular disease ✅ The role of genetics, glutathione, methylation, nitric oxide, and liver detox in keeping this protective layer strong

We'll also explore how the vagus nerve and acetylcholine act as the body's anti-inflammatory switch — and how toxins, mold, and stress can silence that signal, leading to cytokine storms that shred the glycocalyx.

This is part one of a two-part series, where we set the foundation. In part two, we'll unpack the latest research on exercise and the glycocalyx — and how training can either build up this protective layer or break it down.

If you've ever wondered why inflammation feels like it's at the root of everything — from fatigue and brain fog to high blood pressure and migraines — this episode will connect the dots. The glycocalyx may be the most important body system you've never heard of.

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.

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.
