Think muscle cramps are simply caused by dehydration or low electrolytes? Think again.
In this episode of The Coach Debbie Potts Show, I sit down with Filip Keuppens, CEO of The Pickle Juice Company, to explore the fascinating neuroscience behind muscle cramps and why pickle juice has become one of the most researched solutions for rapid cramp relief.
We discuss why cramps often begin in the nervous system—not just the muscles—and how fatigue, training load, hydration, minerals, and neural signaling all influence performance and recovery. Filip also explains how Pickle Juice® works by interrupting the nerve signals that trigger cramping, often providing relief in as little as 60–90 seconds.
In this episode you'll learn:
Why muscle cramps aren't simply an electrolyte deficiency
The neuroscience behind pickle juice and cramp relief
How nerve signaling controls muscle contraction and relaxation
The role of hydration, sodium, and recovery in preventing cramps
Why overtraining increases cramp risk
Practical strategies to improve performance, recovery, and resilience
Whether you're an endurance athlete, active adult, or simply tired of nighttime leg cramps, this episode will change the way you think about muscle function and recovery.
The Coach Debbie Potts Show helps endurance athletes and high-performing adults investigate the root causes behind fatigue, performance plateaus, metabolic health, and healthy aging—so you can build your strongest Future You from the inside out.
