Welcome to another episode of The Coach Debbie Potts Show! Today, we’re diving into the fascinating connections between brain health, gut health, and the vagus nerve, and how you can optimize your health by strengthening these critical systems.

If you’ve been exploring ways to enhance your HRV, digestion, and overall well-being, this episode is packed with actionable insights. Don’t miss the special offer at the end to save on a tool that supports vagal nerve stimulation!

1. The Vagus Nerve and Gut-Brain Connection

• The vagus nerve is the communication highway between the gut and the brain.
• How butyrate supports vagal nerve activation and strengthens vagal tone for:
  • Better digestion.
  • Reduced systemic inflammation.
  • Enhanced mental health and emotional resilience.

2. Signs You May Need to Strengthen Your Gut-Vagus Connection

• Digestive issues (bloating, IBS, indigestion).
• Chronic stress, anxiety, or low HRV (heart rate variability).
• Low energy, brain fog, or mood swings.

3. Enhancing Vagal Tone for Better Resilience

• Breathing techniques, mindfulness, and cold exposure.
• Using innovative tools like the Neuvana Life device for transcutaneous vagus nerve stimulation (tVNS).

Special Segment: Swim Challenge Update In an incredible feat on September 19, 2024, Neil Gyte and David completed a grueling 22-mile (36km) swim in just under 12 hours—an accomplishment surpassing the distances of both the English Channel and Catalina Channel swims! Neil completed the swim entirely fasted, relying only on water and electrolytes, burning an astonishing 9,632 calories without any caloric intake.

Their journey supports a fundraiser with links to learn more:

Inspiration from Neil Gyte: Neil shares his "why" behind his commitment to health: a transformative moment at his daughter’s christening, realizing he was far from the active, engaged father he aspired to be. Weighing 260 pounds, he began a journey toward better health. Through ultra-endurance training and personal growth, Neil has shifted his mission to help others avoid chronic diseases, which he believes stem largely from poor mitochondrial health—a factor we have control over. His life’s goal: to help over a billion people achieve metabolic health.
