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 sports too young isn't always the answer, and what actually happens when you just take the iPad away and let them be bored for a minute. Spoiler: kids are surprisingly good at figuring it out.Sara also talks about what she focuses on when training middle schoolers — it's not the weight room, it's coordination, movement patterns, and making it fun. Plus, why being a role model for your kids matters more than any class or program you could ever sign them up for.Connect with us on social media!Instagram | TikTok | Threads | Youtube | Facebook | X (Twitter) | WebsiteThis podcast offers

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 “America is sick” in big red letters before the pyramid even appears.Sara breaks down why this goes beyond personal food choices — schools, hospitals, nursing homes, and government assistance programs all operate off these guidelines. A lot of people don’t get to choose what they eat. That’s why the pyramid changing is actually a big deal. Plus sourdough, SCOBY, and a Sara Lee bread investigation that goes exactly where you’d expect.Connect with us on social media!Instagram | TikTok | Threads | Youtube | Facebook | X (Twitter) | WebsiteThis podcast of

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 conversation. And more importantly, what it actually takes to get there and stay there. Spoiler — it's more than most people are doing.From there, it's a full breakdown of TDEE activity level multipliers, why most people rate themselves too high on the scale, and the rule Sara uses when running macro calculations for clients. Plus, why the incline on your treadmill is doing more work than you think — and what to do when you don't have one.Connect with us on social media!Instagram | TikTok | Threads | Youtube | Facebook | X (Twitter) | WebsiteThis podcast offers health, fitn

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 whole time.The egg cooker is having a moment in our house, and we're breaking down everything — how it works, why farm fresh eggs are actually the worst ones to peel, and why deviled eggs have a completely different portion logic than every other egg preparation. If eggs are any part of your meal prep situation, this one's for you.We also take some detours before we get there, because that's just how this podcast works. There's a story involving a Nickelodeon star, some deeply questionable impulse control, and a souvenir t-shirt from a tattoo shop. You know — the usual.Co

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 always say out loud: how much of what you consume online is actually your choice? Between Sara’s News Feed Eradicator setup and Caleigh’s full unfollow-everyone approach, the conversation turned into a real one about what it means to actually curate your experience on social media — and why you don’t owe anyone your attention just because they post. And then somehow: workout playlists, music licensing laws for gyms and fitness classes (genuinely wild), a guy who free-climbed a 101-story skyscraper without ropes live on Netflix, and a check-in on wheth
