185: The Metabolic Upgrade f. Coach Debbie Potts
In this episode of the Health Upgrade Podcast, we are joined by Coach Debbie Potts, who shares her personal journey from being a high-performing Ironman athlete to facing unexpected health challenges. Debbie opens up about her experiences with burnout, weight gain, and fatigue, highlighting how even those doing "all the right things" can still struggle when chronic stress goes unmanaged.
The conversation dives deep into the concepts of metabolism, stress accumulation, and recovery. We discuss the importance of balancing stressors with adequate rest, the role of the vagus nerve and heart rate variability, and how too much of a "good thing" (exercise, fasting, or even biohacking habits) can push anyone into "metabolic chaos" if recovery is neglected.
If you're a high performer or simply looking to better understand your body's signals, this episode offers actionable insights and a fresh perspective on health. Share the episode with friends and be sure to follow for more tips on upgrading your metabolism and fostering real recovery in your life!
