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, getting enough protein, sleeping more, drinking water, and paying attention to stress.We also go off on several very important tangents, including nails, shot put, carbs, fasting, dirty fasting, ADHD, social media, and school throwbacks from the early 2000s. So basically, it’s a normal episode. Under all the chaos, the big takeaway is simple: if you don’t feel good, take an honest look at your actual lifestyle before blaming something random or chasing complicated fixes.Connect with us on social media!Instagram | TikTok | Threads | Youtube | Facebook

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 that impact long-term health.We talk about how the healthcare system is largely designed to treat illness rather than prevent it, and why things like sleep, movement, hydration, and food often get overlooked until problems show up. Along the way we share personal experiences with anxiety, ER visits, parenting, and how small lifestyle changes can make a much bigger impact than people expect.It’s a mix of fitness talk, healthcare reality checks, and a reminder that sometimes the most powerful health strategies are the ones that seem almost too simple.Connect with us on socia

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 actual myth-busting: can your body only process 30 grams of protein at a time? We break down where that idea came from, why people keep repeating it, and why it doesn’t hold up when you look at real-life nutrition needs. We also talk protein shakes, recovery, misleading “high-protein” food marketing, edamame pasta, protein bars, and why extreme nutrition rules should always make you pause and ask a few more questions.If you’ve ever wondered whether your protein is “going to waste” or gotten confused by nutrition advice that sounds way too absolute, this one&rsqu

Chairs: Did We Just Get Humbled by 5lb Weights?

In this episode of Nacho Fitness Coach, Caleigh and Sara wrap up Season 7 by doing what they do best: talking about real-life fitness, questionable ideas, and accidentally proving a point with a pair of five-pound pink dumbbells. What starts as a “this will be easy” overhead hold quickly turns into a very humbling reminder that light weights can still wreck you when you don’t respect them.We dig into why holding onto strength and mobility matters more than chasing perfection, especially as we get older. We talk toddler squats, hip mobility, getting up and down from the floor, and how modern life (chairs, couches, and suspiciously tall toilets) quietly steals our ability to move well. We also share real-world examples of how strength training and full range of motion can protect your joints, speed up recovery, and literally change outcomes when injuries happen.Along the way, we call out the myth that “lifting weights” means tiny dumbbells forever, explain w

Podbeat : What Happens When You Add a Beat?

This week on Nacho Fitness Coach, Caleigh and Sara sit down with Nathan and Joy from PodBeat to talk about workouts that don’t need to be sexy, fancy, or perfectly optimized — they just need to happen. We dig into the motivation hacks that actually work, from habit stacking and podcast pairing to bribing ourselves with coffee and leaning into routines that make movement feel less miserable.We talk about steps (why 7,000 might be enough), running versus walking versus rowing, and why some workouts never seem to “count.” We also explore how boredom and monotony derail consistency faster than lack of motivation, and why finding movement you enjoy matters more than doing the “right” workout.Along the way, we get into morning workouts, home gym chaos, Beachbody nostalgia, the 12-3-30 treadmill trend, and the very real consequences of working out with friends who lift heavier than you. Ultimately, this episode is about reframing fitness as something we get
