Episodes
Why Is Protein Suddenly on Every Label?
Protein is suddenly everywhere, Cheerios, Doritos, you name it, and the labels want you to believe more is always better. This week gets into why that marketing trick works, and why most of it doesn't actually move the needle on your daily protein total.From ditching the whole breakfast, lunch, and dinner structure to figuring out how much protein your body actually needs based on activity level,
Is "Health" Care Actually About Your Health?
When was the last time you actually went to the doctor? Caleigh finally answers that question this week, and the answer is... not great. We're talking nearly a decade of skipped checkups, a running list of "probably fine" symptoms, and an appointment that somehow turns into a whole negotiation about timing, consent, and how much a person really needs to mentally prepare before showing up.From pap
Is There Such a Thing as Too Much Creatine?
Sara's on a mission to hit a daily creatine dose most people would call excessive, and this episode follows exactly how well that's going (spoiler: ChatGPT has opinions). The two get into what it actually takes to hit a high dose in real life, the trial and error, the mixing tricks, the moments where the AI staged a full intervention.Then things go completely off the rails with a farm-store find t
Is Everything You Believe About Fitness Complete BS?
Fitness is full of rules that sound official but don't hold up: lifting weights makes you bulky, cardio is required to lose weight, a workout doesn't count unless you're sore for days after. None of it's true, and this episode runs through why.The conversation also gets into the stuff that actually works: a meal plan that skips recipes entirely (pick one protein, one carb, one fat, one veggie, don
Are Vibration Plates Actually Doing Anything?
Vibration plates are supposedly good for everything: better balance, more energy, magically draining your lymphatic system, you name it. This week Sara pulls the actual research, and it turns out to be a lot less witchcraft and a lot more "decent bonus tool if you're not expecting a miracle."Vibration plates can wake up stabilizing muscles, get blood moving, and modestly support balance, coordinat
Peptides: Are We All Secretly on the Peps Now?
There's been a lot of "wait...is that Sara?" happening all summer, and it's time to actually address it. She's been on peptides — tirzepatide, specifically — and after years of preaching no magic pill, she's owning up to finding one that actually worked for her.The full stack gets laid out: the weight loss piece, a glow blend for her skin, and NAD+ for energy she calls the real MVP of the bunch.

Nacho Throwback: Muscle Soreness
That day-after-leg-day moment where sitting down requires a strategy? Yeah, this one's about that. Muscle soreness is one of those things everyone deals with but nobody actually understands — is it good, is it bad, did something tear, or is the body just being dramatic about it.Turns out the whole "no pain, no gain" thing has been debunked — you don't need to be limping around for three days to kn
Episode 200...Maybe? We Don't Know.
Two hundred episodes and eight seasons later, there's champagne on the carpet and (allegedly) a hole in the ceiling to prove it. Turns out the numbering might be off by one thanks to an uncounted bonus episode a few seasons back, so nobody can say with total confidence this is actually episode 200 — but that's not stopping the celebration. Balloons, a genuinely questionable cork situation, and a t
Food Noise: Can You Ever Actually Turn It Off?
Food noise finally gets a name on this one. It's that constant, low-level chatter about food that has nothing to do with actual hunger. Caleigh's had it for years without knowing what to call it, and it turns out there's a real difference between being excited about tacos and being unable to stop thinking about food at all.Sara doesn't have it, and never really has. She can eat the same three eggs
IG Scroll: Is Sharing Reels a Love Language?
Instagram's algorithm took over the show again, and this one's a chaotic ride through everything currently living in the feed. There's a street interview response about fat people and plane tickets that gets more unhinged with every line, a viral story about a woman who ran three full-time jobs at once and ranked in the top 10% at every single one, and an ongoing debate about what actually counts
Vogue Diet: Would You Survive a 1970's Wine and Egg Diet?
Vogue printed an actual diet plan in the 1970s that comes down to three eggs, five ounces of steak, and a full bottle of wine a day, with a promise of five pounds gone in three days. Sara found it, read it out loud, and neither of them could believe it made it to print in a fashion magazine.From there it turns into a deep dive on the worst diet advice history has to offer, including a viral TikTok
Debate: Is Obesity a Health Issue or a Feelings Issue?
The clips of Jillian Michaels going head-to-head with body positivity advocates has been all over social media, and Sara and Caleigh finally sat down to watch the whole thing. The setup: a moderator reads a claim, and whoever gets to the hot seat first gets to argue it with Jillian face to face. First claim up: obesity is not healthy, and pretending it is puts lives at risk.One woman used her turn
Dry Needling : Are You Poking Holes in Your Own Denial?
It's been over a year since Sara's neck surgery, and there's still a marble-sized knot sitting in her shoulder that won't quit. Massages haven't touched it. Time hasn't fixed it. So instead of waiting it out any longer, she's back in the chair for dry needling, the treatment that helped her most before surgery ever happened. Dry needling sounds worse than it is: a needle taps into the muscle, and
Space Diet : If NASA Won't Skip Protein, Why Are You?
Caleigh and Sara pull up a post from a dietitian friend breaking down NASA's Artemis II crew menu, and it's not the bland astronaut food you're picturing. 189 menu items. Barbecue brisket. Mac and cheese. Nutella. Real food, not restriction.NASA requires astronauts to hit 1.2 to 1.8 grams of protein per kilogram of body weight, and every calorie is individualized per crew member, anywhere from 1,9
Energy Drinks : How Much Is Too Much?
Sara's been doing an annual nutrition talk at the school where she coaches, and the numbers on energy drinks are becoming impossible to ignore: two-thirds of kids surveyed drink them regularly, and most already know exactly how many milligrams of caffeine are in the can. They drink it anyway. This episode gets into why that's happening and why it matters.The comparison is the real eye-opener. Alan
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?
This week on Nacho Fitness Coach, Caleigh and Sara spiral into a story about a fitness influencer who got himself very publicly “canceled”… and what we thought was going to be a quick tangent turns into a full-blown discussion about social media, influence, and human behavior.We talk about what happens when people gain a following and start to believe their own hype, why reacting emotionally onlin
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. We get into how everyday movement adds up, why basic physical capability matters more than people think, and how avoiding certain movements migh
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

AI: Could AI Coaching Kill the Personal Trainer Industry?

Mental Load: Why Does Being “Healthy” 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
