Red Dye 40, Rugby, and Real Bodies: A Hilarious Deep Dive Into What We Actually Care About

October 8, 2025

🎙️ Meet Your Nacho Fitness Coaches

“I’m Sarah — personal trainer and recovering perfectionist.”
“And I’m Caleigh — fitness newbie, realist, and professional nap enthusiast.”


We’re not your typical fitness influencers. No six-pack abs. No 5 a.m. green juices. But we do have strong opinions, microphones, and a whole lot of laughs.


This week’s Nacho Fitness Coach episode takes us on a hilarious journey through mom life, diet culture, Olympic-level trolls, and why strength training beats skinny-shaming any day.


🍭 Red Dye 40 & The “I Don’t Give a Sh*t” List

Sarah kicks things off with a confession: she has an actual list of things she doesn’t care about — and Red Dye 40 tops it.


While the internet is in chaos over whether food dye is the root of all evil, Sarah’s perspective is refreshingly real:

“I’ve never checked a label for Red Dye 40. If it’s red, I’ll probably eat it — and enjoy it.”

Meanwhile, Caleigh shares a story about a mom friend who swears her kid “turns into Stitch” after eating Twizzlers. Is it the dye? The sugar? Or just... being three years old? The verdict: who knows.


The takeaway? You do you. Whether you read every ingredient label or not, parenting and wellness don’t need to be competitions.


💪 Olympic Athletes, Trolls & the Beauty of Strong Bodies

The conversation shifts to Ilona Maher — U.S. Olympic rugby player and all-around powerhouse. Despite being an elite athlete, she’s faced online comments accusing her of being “too big.”

But Ilona clapped back, perfectly:

“Nothing tastes as good as skinny feels? Really? Have you tried being strong?”

Sarah and Caleigh cheer her on — and dive into how women have been conditioned since the ‘90s to chase smallness instead of strength. From Victoria’s Secret ideals to toxic “diet culture,” it’s time for a mindset shift:


💥 Strong is beautiful.
💥 Healthy looks different on everyone.
💥 You don’t need to shrink to feel powerful.


🧠 Breaking the Cycle for the Next Generation

Caleigh opens up about how even young girls are picking up “diet” language — and how easily body image talk slips into family life.


Sarah reminds us that a parent’s words shape how kids see themselves. Whether it’s saying “I need to lose weight” or “I can’t eat that,” kids are always listening. The mission? Focus on strength, fun, and feeling good — not the number on the scale.


🧀 Nacho Takeaway:

It’s okay to care about health — and it’s okay not to obsess.


Don’t let social media, mom groups, or trolls dictate your worth. Whether you’re eating red candy, lifting weights, or taking a well-deserved nap, you’re doing just fine.

If you’ve ever bought a $50 tub of “miracle” greens powder, fallen for the latest detox tea, or wondered whether pink-labeled supplements for women are actually different (spoiler: they’re not), you’re not alone. In this episode of Nacho Fitness Coach, Caleigh (the self-proclaimed beginner who thinks Bulgarian split squats should be classified as cruel and unusual punishment) and Sara (the coach who actually knows what she’s doing) dive headfirst into the wild world of fitness scams —with plenty of laughs, tangents, and questionable jokes along the way. 🚨 Why Fitness Scams Are Everywhere The fitness industry is worth billions, which means there’s always someone ready to sell you a “shortcut.” Whether it’s a supplement that promises to torch fat, a crash diet that guarantees results in 30 days, or Instagram workouts that magically target belly fat, scams thrive because people want fast fixes. The reality? Sustainable health comes from the boring stuff : consistent movement, balanced nutrition, sleep, and stress management. But that doesn’t sell as well as “drop 30 pounds in 30 days.” 🤯 Popular Fitness Scams They Call Out Here are just a few of the fads and gimmicks discussed in the episode: Body Positivity (when twisted into an excuse) – Loving yourself is great, but ignoring your health isn’t. Raw Milk – Romanticized online, but not a magic bullet for health. Athletic Greens (AG1) – Expensive powders that are basically just multivitamins in smoothie form. Electrolyte Powders – Some (like Liquid IV or LMNT) are useful, but don’t believe the “double hydration” marketing hype. “For Women” Supplements – Same formula, pink label, higher price. Colostrum & Collagen Powders – Marketed as miracle youth potions. Spoiler: your regular protein powder works just fine. Probiotics – Helpful after antibiotics, but not the cure-all they’re marketed to be. Detox Teas & Cleanses – Your liver and kidneys already handle that job for free. Keto Desserts – Sorry, Jessica. That keto cupcake is still just a cupcake. 12-3-30 Workouts – Good exercise, but it’s not a “fat-burning secret.” Crash Diets (HCG, blood type diets, etc.) – Fast weight loss? Yes. Sustainable? Nope. And of course… everyone’s favorite scammy influencer, V Shred . 💡 The Bigger Problem: Normalized Fitness Lies The scariest part? Some scams are so normalized, we don’t even question them anymore. Marketing convinces us that we’re broken and need expensive fixes—when the truth is that health isn’t about extremes. What actually works: Consistency > hacks Real food > powders Movement you enjoy > gimmicky workouts Patience > promises of “30 pounds in 30 days” 🎧 Why You’ll Love This Episode Yes, you’ll learn how to spot scams. But you’ll also laugh (a lot). From butt-joke tangents to middle-schoolers discovering their teacher has a podcast, Caleigh and Sara remind us that fitness doesn’t have to be intimidating—or boring.  If you’ve ever rolled your eyes at a detox tea commercial or wondered if collagen peptides are just expensive marketing, this one’s for you. ✅ Key Takeaway Don’t waste money chasing the latest fitness trend. Stick to the basics: move your body, eat balanced meals, get sleep, and stay consistent. Everything else is just expensive hype.
