🎙️ 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.
