In this episode of the Coach Cody Podcast, Austin Stout joins me for a deep (and real) conversation about neurotransmitters—what they are, why they matter, and how they could be affecting everything from your anxiety to your training progress.
We cover:
• What neurotransmitters actually do in the body
• The connection between dopamine, serotonin, GABA, and your mindset
• Why perfectionism and “needing control” are more biochemical than you think
• How gut health, nutrient deficiencies, and stress create a feedback loop
• Supplements that might help with mood, motivation, and stress regulation
• The red flags we see in clients that often point to deeper imbalances
Whether you’re a coach, a competitor, or just someone struggling to stay consistent—this episode will help you understand yourself (and your clients) on a deeper level.
