Cottage Cheese: Is This the Lazy Protein Hack We’ve Been Missing?

This week on Nacho Fitness Coach, Caleigh and Sara test whether cottage cheese deserves its viral, high-protein glow-up or if the internet has officially gone too far. We taste our way through cottage cheese pizza bowls, ranch dip, chocolate pudding, and a surprisingly legit strawberry “ice cream,” all with zero practice runs and very honest reactions. We talk texture issues, protein hacks, what actually tastes good, and whether any of these swaps are worth making in real life. If you’ve been side-eyeing cottage cheese all over your feed and wondering if it’s genius or garbage, this episode finds out so you don’t have to.Connect with us on social media!Instagram | TikTok | Threads | Youtube | Facebook | X (Twitter) | WebsiteThis podcast offers health, fitness, and nutritional information and is designed for educational and entertainment purposes only.

Fitness Cults: So…This Is Kinda Weird, Right?

This mid-season episode of Nacho Fitness Coach features Kathy Barron, Founder and Editor-in-Chief of Women Who Podcast Magazine and host of the Women Who Sarcast podcast, joining us to talk about one of our favorite uncomfortable topics: fitness cults.We get into how certain fitness programs, brands, and “communities” start out motivational and somehow end up requiring unwavering loyalty, strict rules, and a suspicious lack of questions. Totally normal stuff. We talk about hype culture, influencer authority, and how fitness can quietly shift from something you do into something you’re expected to believe.As always, there are side tangents, sarcasm, and a healthy amount of unserious commentary—but the point still lands: fitness should support your life, not become your personality. And if your workout plan feels more like a belief system than a tool…well. You’re not wrong to think that’s kinda weird.Women Who Podcast MagazineWomen Who Podcast M

1000 Paper Cuts: Are You Letting Small Habits Do Big Damage?

This week on Nacho Fitness Coach, Caleigh and Sara dive into the idea of “death by 1,000 papercuts” and how the tiniest daily choices can quietly shape your energy, your mood, and your health. We break down the viral wellness concept from Higher Up Wellness and talk about why so many of us feel exhausted, foggy, or stuck even when nothing “big” is wrong.From skipped walks to chaotic sleep to the invisible drain of everyday habits, we explore how those papercuts add up—and more importantly, how small, realistic changes can start healing them. Of course, it wouldn’t be an episode without tangents, including Caleigh’s nose crisis, butt compliments, fashion trends we refuse to follow, and a full roast of Nebraska aesthetic pressures.If you’ve felt tired for so long that it started to feel normal, or you’re ready to make progress without overhauling your entire life, this episode is a nudge back toward taking care of future-you—one

Weighted Vest: Did TikTok Tell You to Do It?

This week on Nacho Fitness Coach, we’re talking about weighted vests — or more accurately, the internet’s obsession with convincing everyone they need one. We break down what these things actually do, why they’ve suddenly become the new personality trait on TikTok, and whether strapping 20 extra pounds to your body is helping you reach your goals… or just helping influencers sell gear.Sara brings the facts (and a rant, obviously), explaining why running already gives your joints 12–15 times your bodyweight and maybe—just maybe—you don’t need to toss a vest on top of that. Meanwhile, Caleigh discovers that the pockets are perfect for snacks, which is honestly the strongest argument for buying one.We dig into marketing vs. reality, strength training vs. shortcuts, and why people will do absolutely anything except lift heavy weights. If you’ve ever Googled “weighted vest benefits” after seeing a hot girl jog with one

Fit and Fab: What Happens When Women Finally Pick Up Weights?

This week on Nacho Fitness Coach, Caleigh and Sara dive into a TED Talk from Dr. Jamie Seeman—aka Dr. Fit and Fabulous—to unpack why building muscle is one of the most powerful things women can do for their long-term health.We talk through the myths that keep women out of the weight room, the difference between training for aesthetics vs. training for longevity, and why strong women truly are healthier women.In true Nacho fashion, we also detour into birthday gift chaos, mom guilt, stadium stairs, bra straps, and a fly murder that absolutely no one asked for.Whether you're already lifting or just trying to get your steps in while your kids are at practice, this episode will give you a fresh, empowering perspective on strength training—without the pressure, perfectionism, or fitness-bro nonsense.Connect with us on social media!Instagram | TikTok | Threads | Youtube | Facebook | X (Twitter) | WebsiteThis podcast offers health, fitness, and nutritional information and is

Midlife: Is "Good Enough” Actually...Good Enough?

This week on Nacho Fitness Coach, Caleigh and Sara dive into a listener question that hits way too close to home: “Do I always have to have a goal, or can I just… be content?” We talk about what it really feels like to be in a midlife season where you’re not chasing a major transformation — you’re just trying to maintain your routine, your sanity, and maybe your calves.We dig into why maintenance is actually one of the hardest goals to commit to, the pressure to always be “improving,” and what it means to let yourself coast without feeling guilty. And because it’s us, there’s also plenty of breakfast drama, lazy-girl fitness eras, and unsolicited calf compliments.If you’re thriving, surviving, or floating somewhere in between, this episode is your reminder that midlife doesn’t have to be a crisis… sometimes it’s just a vibe.Connect with us on social media!Instagram | TikTok | Threads | Youtube | Faceb

Aggressive Cuts: Do You Even Eat, Bro?

This week on Nacho Fitness Coach, Caleigh and Sara are asking the hard question — Do you even eat, bro? We’re diving into why so many people think suffering equals progress and how “cutting calories” can quickly turn into cutting corners.We talk about what an aggressive cut really means, how to tell the difference between fat loss and full-on burnout, and why eating like a normal human might actually be the key to better results.We’re calling out diet culture, unpacking the glorification of hunger, and reminding you that starving isn’t a flex. It’s fitness — but make it unhinged.Connect with us on social media!Instagram | TikTok | Threads | Youtube | Facebook | X (Twitter) | WebsiteThis podcast offers health, fitness, and nutritional information and is designed for educational and entertainment purposes only.

Would You Rather: Pain, Sweat, and Terrible Decisions

This week on Nacho Fitness Coach, Caleigh and Sara take “Would You Rather” to a whole new level of chaos. What starts as a harmless game quickly turns into a deep dive into our worst ideas and most questionable choices. From running a 5K in Crocs to doing leg day in cowboy boots, we put ourselves through a series of hypothetical disasters that somehow feel a little too real.Along the way, we talk about why we overthink simple decisions, how we justify bad ones, and why it’s usually better to just laugh it off. It’s the kind of episode that proves we should never be left unsupervised—but also why that’s what makes it fun.It’s part fitness, part therapy, and mostly nonsense… just how we like it.Connect with us on social media!Instagram | TikTok | Threads | Youtube | Facebook | X (Twitter) | WebsiteThis podcast offers health, fitness, and nutritional information and is designed for educational and entertainment purposes only.

Squat v Hinge: Wait, Am I Doing This Wrong?

This week on Nacho Fitness Coach, Caleigh and Sara tackle one of the most confusing movement debates in fitness — squat vs. hinge. What’s the difference, why does it matter, and why does Caleigh still feel it in all the wrong places? From sleepy glutes and deadlift disasters to the eternal quest for good form, Sara breaks down how to actually move your body without wrecking your back. They also somehow end up talking about sports (spoiler: Caleigh still doesn’t care) and why most of us are just trying to wake up our butts and hold it together.Connect with us on social media!Instagram | TikTok | Threads | Youtube | Facebook | X (Twitter) | WebsiteThis podcast offers health, fitness, and nutritional information and is designed for educational and entertainment purposes only.

FAFO: What Did You Think Was Gonna Happen?

In this week’s episode of Nacho Fitness Coach, Caleigh and Sara are talking about what happens when you finally face the consequences of your choices — because sometimes you just have to FAFO to figure it out.From Taylor Swift haters to people blaming genetics and hormones for every problem, we’re calling out the excuses that keep people stuck. We get into the difference between actual health challenges and self-inflicted ones, why accountability isn’t a bad word, and how the basics — sleep, water, movement, food, and honesty — still work better than any magic fix.It’s equal parts real talk and ridiculous tangents, complete with a few Swiftie debates, a Nickelback confession, and Sara’s signature soapbox moment about taking ownership.Connect with us on social media!Instagram | TikTok | Threads | Youtube | Facebook | X (Twitter) | WebsiteThis podcast offers health, fitness, and nutritional information and is designed for educational and en
