| Bonus: What it's Like to be a Therapist | 07 Jul 2025 | 01:13:44 | |
Have you been considering becoming a therapist or counselor? Do you know which degree to get? Do you wonder what it's like in the day-to-day after graduation? This episode is for you! Your host, Cody Cox, discusses his experience with graduate school, including disappointments, and what it was like to get clinical supervision and finally to get independently licensed and become self-employed. It's a long and grueling process, especially for heterosexual, white men. Listen to the episode to find out why! Because this is a bit off-topic, it's a bonus episode! But it seemed relevant at the same time due to the increased interest people seem to have in becoming a therapist. Some afterthoughts from Cody: The profession is very politically biased. Be prepared for some political trauma, especially if you are a male or Christian. The politics will vary depending on which graduate program you attend. For example, attending a religious university will probably result in the least political bias, but it may still be present because it's part of the profession and [biased] research coming from other universities. Even if you are not Christian or a male, be prepared for a lot of political correctness controversies. It's not uncommon to be corrected by other therapists or classmates on your wording of things, even if what you are saying isn't necessarily inappropriate. For example, African-Americans call themselves "black," but some people would say it's offensive to use that term. It can be quite a headache to keep up on political correctness, especially since there is never really a general consensus before it changes again. Saying "partner" is another common one, despite the fact that it is more vague and weakens communication compared to "boy/girlfriend," "fiance/fiancee", "husband/wife," or "spouse." Unfortunately, therapists are often in an echo chamber of confirmation bias. Politics, clinical methodology, best practices, company policies, etc. are confirmed by colleagues, but with little or no influence from outside parties. This keeps therapists thinking they are correct, which perpetuates dogmatic attitudes. The profession is replete with jargon, including improper grammar such as insisting on saying "resiliency," rather than the proper form, "resilience." Many of your classmates and colleagues will drop jargon to clients and the general public, not realizing they are just confusing people. You are unlikely to get holistic training in graduate school since these programs are created to meet government requirements, modeled after allopathic medicine. You will probably have to seek additional, holistic training after you graduate, and at the risk of it not counting for continuing education toward licensure.

| 033: How to Find the Right Therapist (Orientation to Therapy Series) | 12 Jun 2025 | 00:48:34 | |
Many people are confused with how to find the right therapist. As a therapist myself, I've been disappointed by all those who just come to me because they want generic therapy and don't care about my training or specialities. It's frustrating (and draining) for me as the clinician, and if it's not a good match, it's disappointing for you, too, making you wonder if you have a "bad" therapist. Each therapist is different! It can be really helpful to find out what your therapist specializes in (perinatal, depression, nutrition, substance abuse, etc.), what their personal philosophy is like (holistic or allopathic?), or whether you feel like you "click" with them. This episode is all about how to find the right therapist. There are several things you can do to get yourself (and therapists) a better experience! And there are a couple things to watch out for if you have a poor match. This is the second episode in a series for "Orientation to Therapy."

| 032: Making Therapy Affordable (Orientation to Therapy Series) | 05 Jun 2025 | 00:33:09 | |
Most, or even all, of us could benefit from getting therapy, even if we don't necessarily have a diagnosable condition. You may have heard that there's a shortage of therapists--not enough providers to meet the demand for all the mental illness in America. But that's false. There's a lot of mental illness, but the real problem is affordability. Most people who need it simply aren't getting it because they can't afford therapy (and there are also those who won't commit because it's inconvenient). So what do you do? Actually, there are a lot of ways to make therapy more affordable. This episode outlines several ways, and some of them even let you choose your favorite therapist while making sure they get paid fairly and you pay less at the same time. This is part of the "Orientation to Therapy" series. Be on the lookout for a couple more episodes on understanding how therapy works!

Joined by a special guest with a background in physical training and holistic health, we dive into the importance of proprioception, the rise in sedentary lifestyles, and how modern conveniences—while helpful—often rob us of essential sensory experiences. Together, we reflect on how something as simple as walking on uneven ground or wearing minimalist footwear can awaken the body’s innate intelligence, improve stability, and even reduce symptoms like vertigo. We also reminisce about growing up with fewer digital distractions and discuss the mental clarity that comes from unplugging, camping, and spending time in truly wild spaces.

| 052: My Takeaways from the Wise Traditions Conference 2025 | 23 Oct 2025 | 00:59:01 | |
🌿 Episode Summary In this episode, Cody shares insights and takeaways from the recent Wise Traditions Conference hosted by the Weston A. Price Foundation in Salt Lake City. From the incredible nutrient-dense meals served to the deep dives into gut health, raw milk, and controversial new biology perspectives — this episode unpacks the leading edge (and sometimes provocative) conversations happening in the holistic wellness world today. 🍽️ Highlights The Food Experience: Learn how the conference meals embodied Weston A. Price principles — organic, local, properly prepared, and full of life-giving nutrients. Workshops Worth Trying: From sourdough and cheese-making to the reminder that simple, traditional skills can outshine factory-made foods. Raw Milk Reality Check: Cody explores the nutritional benefits of raw milk, its enzyme and vitamin content, and why it may be easier to digest for some people compared to pasteurized milk. The GAPS Diet Explained: A look into Dr. Natasha Campbell-McBride’s Gut and Psychology Syndrome Diet — its focus on gut healing, connection to mental health, and practical applications for families. Toxins, Glyphosate, and Gut Health: How modern lifestyles and synthetic fragrances disrupt our microbiome — and why fermented foods like sauerkraut may help counteract daily exposures. Healing Food Sensitivities: Cody discusses the idea of intestinal permeability (“leaky gut”) and how food allergies may not be permanent when gut health is restored. Pregnancy, Children, and Gut Foundations: The importance of nourishing foods before conception and during early childhood for lifelong health — and how fussy eating can signal gut imbalances. Controversial Conversations: Hear about emerging views from speakers like Dr. Tom Cowan and Drs. Mark and Samantha Bailey, who challenge mainstream ideas about viruses, Lyme disease, and modern medicine. See Sam and Mark Bailey's take on the conference here! Core Message: Holistic health isn’t about fear or quick fixes — it’s about empowerment, education, and returning to nature’s wisdom. 🧩 Key Takeaways True wellness begins with whole, properly prepared foods. Gut health is central to both mental and physical well-being. Detoxification and reducing toxic load are daily acts of self-care. Always keep an open mind — but also use discernment when exploring new health ideas. 🔗 Resources Mentioned Weston A.

| 006: This Gene Mutation Might be Making it Harder to be in Good Health, with Rhiannon Neuharth | 06 Dec 2024 | 00:51:13 | |
Episode Summary In Today’s episode, Rhiannon Neuharth explains MTHFR, a gene mutation that affects some people’s ability to properly detoxify, produce neurotransmitters like serotonin (essential for mental health), and other things that affect their overall health. She discusses how she works with clients who present with the associated symptoms how she assesses for MTHFR, offering simple lifestyle changes to support the body.
Connect with Rhiannon • Social Media: @MTHFR_coach (Instagram & TikTok) • Website: Revitalizing Wellness
Final Thoughts I really enjoyed talking with Rhiannon about MTHFR as it is a topic that’s seldomly discussed and a hidden reason why some people might struggle to feel well even when they are doing all the “right” things. Be sure to get properly assessed if you think this is something you struggle with before taking any specialized therapies. But simple, universally appropriate lifestyle changes such as a nutrient-dense diet and avoiding unnecessary toxins can go a long way.
