Coach Cody

In this episode of The Coach Cody Podcast, I dive into two big topics:

✅ An update on my ketamine treatment for depression – how it’s helped me start feeling like myself again, the changes I’ve noticed, and what’s next.

✅ The real reasons your diet isn’t working – the most common mistakes I see in my 7 years of coaching and, more importantly, how to fix them.

We’ll cover:

🔥 Underestimating calories – Why tracking inaccurately is killing your progress

🔥 Overestimating activity – Your Apple Watch is lying to you

🔥 Weekend sabotage – Why being “perfect” Monday-Friday isn’t enough

🔥 Fad diets & over-restriction – Why keto, carnivore, and crash diets set you up to fail

🔥 Not eating enough protein – The key to muscle growth & fat loss

🔥 Stress & mindset – Why your mental state is just as important as your macros

If you’ve been stuck in a plateau or frustrated with your lack of progress, this episode is packed with real, no-BS strategies to get you back on track.

In this episode of the Coach Cody Podcast, I’m diving into some of the most common fitness and training questions from trans men. From reducing hip and chest size to building muscle (with or without testosterone), I break down what actually works and what doesn’t.

Plus, I share a wild story about waking up in the middle of the night choking on my own uvula—yeah, you read that right. 😅

I also talk about the importance of structured training, why you shouldn’t skip leg day (even if you have dysphoria about your legs), and what you should wear to the gym to feel more comfortable.

If you’re looking for practical fitness advice specifically for trans men, or just want some solid training tips, this episode is for you.

In this episode of The Coach Cody Podcast, I'm diving into something we’ve all struggled with—feeling stuck, overwhelmed, and waiting for motivation that never seems to come.

I share a simple yet powerful strategy inspired by Steven C. Hayes: Do something. Do anything. It’s all about breaking down the mental barriers by taking the tiniest possible step—whether it’s brushing your teeth, filling your water bottle, or just putting on your gym shoes. These small wins trigger momentum, making the next step easier and keeping you out of freeze mode.

If you’ve been stuck in procrastination, anxiety, or perfectionism, this episode is for you. Let’s get the ball rolling—one small action at a time.

This week, I’m diving into a personal experience that’s a little different from my usual fitness content. I’ve been open about my struggles with mental health—OCD, anxiety, depression—but 2024 pushed me to my limits.

After losing $24K to a business coach who wrecked my confidence and left me questioning everything, I found myself in a deep hole.I’ve tried therapy, TMS, antidepressants… and nothing really got me where I needed to be.

So I decided to give Esketamine (Spravato) a shot. In this episode, I break down exactly what it was like, how it made me feel, what went wrong, and if it’s actually helping.

If you’ve ever been curious about ketamine therapy, are struggling with your own mental health, or just want to hear an unfiltered take on what it’s like, this one’s for you.

This isn’t just a love story—it’s about resilience, vulnerability, and finding magic in the small moments even when the world feels heavy. We also dive into the emotional toll of recent political changes, the fear and uncertainty they bring, and how we’re holding on to hope. If you’re feeling overwhelmed, anxious, or just need to hear something real, raw, and relatable—this one’s for you.

In this episode of the Coach Cody podcast, I open up about the challenges of navigating a post-inauguration world as a trans individual, the anxiety surrounding executive orders, and the broader impact on our health and well-being. I also dive into the theme of comparison. How it can be toxic but also fuel inspiration if handled correctly.

From tips to avoid the comparison trap to recognizing your small wins and staying grounded, this episode is all about embracing your journey while dealing with external pressures. Whether you’re facing political challenges, social media highlight reels, or self-doubt in the gym, remember: living your best life is the ultimate act of rebellion.
