Coach Cody

Feeling tired, wired, and completely dismissed by your doctor?

Been there.

In this episode, I’m sharing my personal journey with relentless fatigue, insomnia, and depression. Also, how conventional bloodwork told me absolutely nothing. It wasn’t until I pushed for deeper testing that I found answers: thyroid issues, low iron, a genetic mutation, and other root causes my doctor never checked for.

Dez joins me for my podcast comeback as we break down:

• What labs most doctors don’t run

• Why “normal” ranges can still leave you feeling awful

• The exact panels to ask for (or order yourself)

• How to advocate for your health when no one’s listening

You’re not crazy. You’re not lazy. You might just be missing data.

Not everything that feels hard is burnout , sometimes it’s just growth doing its thing.

In this episode, I’m talking about how chasing the goals you really want won’t always feel good, and how to tell the difference between genuine burnout and the normal discomfort that comes with doing hard things. Whether you’re deep in a fitness journey or just feeling stuck in life, this is the reminder you probably need.

I cover:

-Why growth should feel uncomfortable

-The signs you’re actually burned out vs. just avoiding the hard stuff

-If you’ve been feeling unmotivated, overwhelmed, or just unsure what the hell is going on with your energy — this one’s for you.

In this episode, I sit down with Melissa Urban, co-founder and CEO of Whole30, to dive into what makes the Whole30 program so misunderstood, her journey from diet culture to food freedom, and why boundaries matter far beyond what’s on your plate.

We also get real about the wellness industry’s political divide, the courage it takes to stand up for marginalized communities, and how Melissa stays grounded in her values—even when it’s hard.

We cover:

• Why Whole30 isn’t a weight loss diet

• How Melissa helps people set boundaries (and why she wrote a whole book about it)

Whether you’re skipping workouts, beating yourself up with negative self-talk, or stuck in an all-or-nothing mindset, self-sabotage can quietly destroy your progress before you even realize what’s happening.

• Common patterns to watch out for

• How to shift your mindset and start showing up differently

• Why small wins actually matter more than big ones

This episode is a raw, honest look at how mental health, perfectionism, and fear play a huge role in consistency—and how to overcome it one small step at a time.

Do you constantly think about food—even when you’re not physically hungry? Are you planning your day around meals, feeling guilt after eating, or stuck in a binge-restrict cycle? That nonstop mental chatter is called food noise, and it’s more common (and more frustrating) than people realize.

In this episode, I break down:

• What food noise is and how it shows up

• Why GLP-1 meds like Ozempic reduce it—but aren’t the only option

• The real reasons you’re always hungry (hint: it’s not just willpower)

• How under-eating, poor sleep, stress, and emotional eating crank up the noise

• Why mindful eating, meal timing, and balanced nutrition make a huge difference

• How to build awareness and finally stop letting food run your life

Whether you’re working on fat loss, trying to heal your relationship with food, or just sick of the constant cravings—this one’s for you.
