Episodes
Alcohol, Again: What's It Actually Costing You?
Alcohol is back on the table, again, because apparently once wasn't enough. Sara breaks down what a few weekend drinks actually do to sleep, testosterone, and fat-burning, and the numbers aren't subtle: up to 70% less growth hormone released during REM sleep, a 20-30% testosterone drop, and fat-burning paused for up to two days while the body deals with the alcohol first.But this isn't a "never dr
Slim Room: What If the Gym Just…Vibrated You?
There's a place in Toronto that will let you lie on a vibrating table, pedal an infrared bike, or straddle something called a sculpt roller — and charge you $350 a month for the privilege. They claim you can burn 2,000 calories in 45 minutes. Sara and Caleigh watched the video. Reactions were had.This episode is really about the bigger pattern: people will spend serious money on elaborate, passive
Peptides: Did We Find the Magic Pill?
Sara went down a rabbit hole. It started with a quick weight gain she couldn't explain, a turning-45 reality check, and the sneaking suspicion that willpower wasn't going to cut it this time. So she started doing her research — like actually doing her research — and landed somewhere she didn't expect: peptides.This week we break down what peptides actually are, how GLP-1 and GLP-2 are different (a
Testosterone : Are You Running on Empty?
Okay so we started this episode asking the hard-hitting questions — would you rather give up caffeine or social media? And Caleigh's answer might tell you everything you need to know about her. But then we got into the actual topic, and it's a good one: testosterone. Not just a "man thing." We both have it. We both need it. And a lot of us are running low without even knowing it.Sara pulled her ac
Kids Fitness: Are These Kids Moving Enough?
Kids don't need a gym membership or a packed schedule to be active — but they do need movement. In this episode, Sara and Caleigh break down what it actually looks like to raise kids who move their bodies, why 60 minutes of moderate activity a day matters, and why none of it has to cost a single dollar.They get into screen time as the real barrier to active kids, why throwing kids into organized s
Food Pyramid : Six to Eleven Servings of What Now?
In January 2026, the government released a new food pyramid — and it flipped everything we grew up with upside down.Protein and healthy fats are now at the top. Whole grains got demoted to the bottom. Ultra-processed food got explicitly called out on an official government website for the first time. We went through the whole thing live at realfood.gov, including the part where the site opens with
Zone 2
There's a tangent at the top of this one — it's a good one — but once the fitness content kicks in, it's one of the more useful episodes we've done. Caleigh's Apple Watch got an update that started showing heart rate zones during walking workouts, and the data had some things to say.Sara breaks down what zone 2 actually means: working but not struggling, breathing harder, still able to hold a conv
Egg Cooker: Why Did Nobody Tell Us About This?
Hard-boiled eggs are one of the best proteins you can keep in the house — cheap, versatile, easy to grab on the go — but only if you actually prep them. And if you've ever stood over a pot of boiling water, set a timer, then peeled the shell off in chunks while half the egg white comes with it, you know there has to be a better way. Turns out there is, and it's been on Amazon for under $35 this wh
Hyrox : We Did the Research. We’re Still Not Doing It.
HYROX is all over the fitness internet right now and we finally went full nerd on it — what it actually is, what each of the eight stations involves, what the weights and distances look like in practice, and who this thing is genuinely built for. Spoiler: the burpee broad jumps got an immediate hard no. The ski erg wasn’t far behind. We also got into something a lot of people think about but don’t
Caleigh CPT? : What If I’m Not Meant to Be a Trainer?
This week on Nacho Fitness Coach, we did something slightly chaotic—we asked ChatGPT to explain why Caleigh wouldn’t be a good personal trainer… and then read it out loud. Turns out, it had some very specific opinions.We go through each point and unpack what being a trainer actually involves, from patience and repetition to handling clients who don’t always follow through. Along the way, we talk a
Soapbox Sara : Girl, Are You Okay?
Caleigh and Sara are back, but this time we’re putting a timer on the chaos. Caleigh gives Sara a topic, sets a three-minute countdown, and lets Soapbox Sara go absolutely feral with a no-holds-barred fitness rant.We bounce through rapid-fire topics, calling out common myths, overcomplicated advice, and the stuff that just needs to be said out loud. Some rants stay on track… others spiral immediat
Canceled : Can We Go Back to Fitness Please?

Function Health: Are You Actually in Control of Your Health?
This week, Caleigh and Sara somehow go from roasting each other and comparing wildly different daily step counts to talking about monkey bars, grip strength, stairs, and the movements adults probably shouldn’t stop doing just because they feel harder now.

Be Objective: Are Your Daily Habits the Real Problem?
In this episode, Caleigh and Sara talk about what to do when you don’t feel great but also can’t figure out why. We get into how easy it is to convince ourselves we’re doing “fine” while ignoring the obvious stuff that might actually be making us feel bloated, tired, foggy, run-down, or just off. Before jumping to extremes, we talk about looking at the basics first: eating enough, eating regularly
School: Why Aren’t Doctors Taught Nutrition and Exercise?
This week on Nacho Fitness Coach, we went down a rabbit hole after hearing a clip about something most people don’t realize: many doctors receive little to no formal education on exercise or nutrition in medical school. That doesn’t mean doctors aren’t incredibly knowledgeable or valuable, but it does raise a big question about where people should actually look for guidance on lifestyle habits tha
30g of Protein: Science...or More BS?
Season 8 is here, and apparently Caleigh and Sara are still incapable of acting normal for even five minutes. In this episode, we kick things off with some wildly unserious chaos, a life update from Caleigh about putting her kids in public school, and a very real conversation about how routine changes can throw everything off, including workouts, meals, and general sanity.Then we get into the actu
Bonus: Maybe We Should Ask the Kids?
We did something a little different for our mid-season bonus and honestly it might be our favorite thing we've ever recorded. Sara and Caleigh brought actual kids into the studio and just asked them stuff. What do adults get wrong about kids and movement? What makes PE fun or miserable? What would you tell grownups about fitness? No coaching, no prompting. Just real answers from real kids.The them

Mental Load: Why Does Being “Healthy” Feel Like a Full-time Job?
In this episode, Caleigh and Sara get real about the mental load of “being healthy” and why modern wellness can feel like a full-time job. We talk about how tracking everything (sleep, steps, water, HRV, supplements, macros, deep sleep percentages, you name it) can turn into stress instead of support, and how the constant stream of conflicting fitness advice makes it even harder to know what actua
Cottage Cheese: Is This the Lazy Protein Hack We’ve Been Missing?
