Stress Is Stalling Your Progress . Here's What To Do About It.
If you feel like you're doing everything right, hitting your protein, training consistently, sleeping enough, but still not seeing progress, stress might be the missing variable.
In this episode, we break down how chronic stress impacts your body physiologically, why most people underestimate their stress load, and what you can actually do to manage it without blowing up your routine. From the stress bucket concept to scaling your training during high-stress seasons, this episode gives you a practical framework for making progress even when life is chaotic.
Topics covered: why cortisol isn't the enemy, the three biggest stress myths, how to recognize when your bucket is overflowing, and four action steps you can take this week.

What to Do When Your New Year's Motivation Is Gone
Your New Year motivation is fading—or already gone. That's normal. The problem isn't that motivation disappears. It's what you do next.
In this episode, we break down why motivation always fades, how to know when to push vs. when to scale back, and what to do when life gets heavier than expected. This isn't about grinding harder. It's about building systems that survive real life.
We also talk about the all-or-nothing spiral, reassessing your goals without shame, and protecting momentum when everything else is falling apart.

Finally Hopeful: The Root Causes of Depression | Dr. James Greenblatt
In this episode of the Coach Cody Podcast, we sit down (again!) with Dr. James Greenblatt, MD — a dual board-certified psychiatrist and internationally recognized pioneer in functional and integrative psychiatry, known for his work on low-dose nutritional lithium and root-cause mental health care.
We talk about why conventional psychiatry often becomes “symptom → prescription” medicine, and how functional psychiatry takes a test-then-treat approach by looking at things like nutrient deficiencies, hormones, gut health, genetics (including MTHFR), and metabolic factors that can drive depression and anxiety.
Topics we cover:
Functional vs integrative vs conventional psychiatry (and why “lifestyle changes” alone may not be enough)
Why labs are so often skipped in mental health care — and why that’s a problem
The big ones Dr. Greenblatt sees constantly: vitamin D and “normal but not optimal” B12
Celiac disease and malabsorption as a commonly missed root cause
Low-dose lithium orotate: what it is, how it differs from prescription lithium, and why he recommends simple standalone dosing
Antidepressants: why he’s not anti-medication, but believes patients deserve honest conversations about side effects and withdrawal
Ketamine: when it can help, when clinics get out of control, and why you should address root causes first
What gives him the most hope right now: the research is finally catching up
