Feed Your Vagus Nerve: Nutrition, Gut Health & the Science of Nervous System Resilience

  Your vagus nerve isn't just your "stress nerve"—it's the communication highway connecting your brain, gut, immune system, metabolism, and mitochondria. In this Rabbit Hole episode, Debbie Potts explains why nutrition is more than calories. Every meal sends signals that influence digestion, inflammation, recovery, hormone balance, and healthy aging. You'll discover: • Why blood sugar stability is the foundation of vagal health • The nutrients that support acetylcholine, mitochondria, and nerve signaling • How protein, omega-3s, minerals, polyphenols, and the gut microbiome work together • Why how you eat is just as important as what you eat • How this fits into the FutureYou Blueprint Method™ for building resilience from the inside out If you're an active adult, endurance athlete, or high performer who feels like you're doing everything right but still isn't getting the results you want, this episode will help you understand why restoring communication—not chasing symptoms—is the first step toward better health, performance, and longevity. Your Future You is being built by the choices you make today. Learn more about coaching, metabolic testing, and educational programs at Debbie Potts Coaching.
