Are you feeling "off" even though you're doing everything "right"? In this solo deep-dive, Coach Debbie maps the North-to-South flow of health—from brain and vagus nerve to stomach acid, bile, liver, gut, and mitochondria—so you can see how fatigue, belly fat, restless sleep, brain fog, and hormone chaos are often communication problems, not willpower problems. You'll learn how to restore safety signals, open drainage, support bile and choline, and retrain mitochondria from defense to performance. We connect the dots with real testing—PNOĒ RMR/AMR, GI-MAP, DUTCH, Total Tox, MRT, genetics, and Nutritional Therapy Analysis—so you can stop guessing and start rebuilding your Future You™.

In this episode, you'll learn:

• The North-to-South Map: why vagal tone, stomach acid, and bile set the stage for metabolism.

• Mitochondrial intelligence & the Cell Danger Response (OAT and PNOĒ clues you can measure).

• Drainage before detox: Phase 1–2–3 in plain English—what to do first.

• Bile & choline: how to make/keep bile flowing (foods, nutrients, signs of stagnation).

• Cholesterol & bile: why bile is your main cholesterol exit route.

• The Brain–Bile–Barrier Loop: how gut/BBB permeability drives neuroinflammation.

• Muscle as metabolic medicine: training & protein targets that signal repair.

• Testing, Not Guessing: how your data becomes your roadmap.

The Truth About Cholesterol, LDL, and Plaque Regression with Dave Feldman | Lean Mass Hyper-Responder Research Explained

What if everything you've been told about cholesterol and heart disease is incomplete — or even wrong?

In this eye-opening episode of The Coach Debbie Potts Show, I sit down with Dave Feldman, engineer turned citizen scientist, founder of Own Your Labs and The Citizen Science Foundation, and the mind behind the Lean Mass Hyper-Responder (LMHR) study and the groundbreaking Keto-CTA trial on plaque progression and regression.

We unpack the latest findings from Dave's multi-platform coronary imaging study — comparing HeartFlow, QAngio, Cleerly, and expert readouts — to explore how some individuals with very high LDL cholesterol and low inflammation show no increase in plaque and, in some cases, true regression.

You'll learn:

• 🧬 What the Lipid Energy Model reveals about metabolism and cholesterol transport

• 🩸 Why LDL-C and ApoB aren't always the villains — and when they actually matter

• 🧠 What "soft" vs. "hard" plaque really means for your risk

• 🩺 The best ways to measure and track plaque (CAC vs. CCTA vs. AI-based imaging)

• ⚡ How insulin resistance, inflammation, and oxidative stress drive true cardiovascular risk

• 🥑 Why many keto and low-carb athletes become "Lean Mass Hyper-Responders" — and what to do about it

Whether you're a clinician, health coach, or curious biohacker, this conversation will completely change the way you think about cholesterol, cardiovascular disease, and metabolic health.

00:00 – Intro & Dave Feldman bio
03:00 – The cholesterol paradox in metabolically healthy individuals
08:00 – The Lipid Energy Model explained
12:00 – What is plaque? (Soft vs. hard)
16:00 – How the Keto-CTA study tracked plaque regression
25:00 – The role of LDL, ApoB, and Lp(a) in context
33:00 – Imaging tools: CAC vs. CCTA vs. AI platforms
42:00 – Insulin resistance, inflammation, and endothelial damage
54:00 – Root cause solutions for cardiovascular health

• Cholesterol is not the enemy — context and inflammation are.

• The best way to manage heart disease risk is to measure plaque, not just LDL.

• Metabolic health > cholesterol numbers when it comes to longevity.

• Functional and nutritional therapy can stabilize or reverse soft plaque.

Are you over 40 and feeling like your body's not responding the way it used to—despite doing "everything right"? Fatigue, stubborn weight, restless sleep, and slow recovery aren't signs of failure… they're signs of adaptation.

In this powerful deep-dive episode, Coach Debbie Potts unpacks the real root causes behind midlife metabolic slowdown—through the lens of mitochondria, detox pathways, hormones, and nervous system balance. You'll learn how to read your body's feedback, retrain your biology, and build your Future You from the inside out.

Drawing on the latest research from Dr. Robert Naviaux, Ari Whitten, and leading functional medicine labs, Debbie guides you step-by-step through:

🧭 The North-to-South Map: How brain, vagus nerve, stomach, bile, and gut alignment control your metabolism.
⚙️ Mitochondrial Intelligence: Why your "powerhouses" switch into protection mode—and how to bring them back online.
💧 Detox & Drainage Foundations: Why "drainage before detox" is non-negotiable for real cellular repair.
🥚 Bile & Choline Connection: The missing link between hormone balance, brain clarity, and fat metabolism.
🧠 The Brain–Bile–Barrier Loop: How gut toxins (LPS) affect mood, motivation, and energy.
🏋️ Muscle as Metabolic Medicine: Why strength training is your longevity drug after 40.
🌿 The WHOLESTIC Method™: 8 Elements for restoring energy, hormones, and cellular coherence.
🔬 Data-Driven Health: How PNOĒ metabolic testing, GI-MAP, DUTCH, and OAT reveal your body's "energy story."
🧩 The Future You Blueprint: A strategic framework for stress recovery, detox, mitochondrial rebuilding, and hormone optimization.

This isn't another quick fix—it's a biology reboot.
Discover how to measure, map, and master your metabolism so you can thrive, not just survive, through midlife and beyond.
