Stop Blaming Hormones: The Fitness Truth No One Wants to Hear
If you’ve ever rolled your eyes at a Taylor Swift fan, blamed your metabolism for your weight, or bought a weighted vest thinking it’s the secret to fitness—this one’s for you.
On this hilarious and unfiltered episode of Nacho Fitness Coach, Caleigh and Sarah dive into why everyone seems to love to hate—from pop stars to personal responsibility.
🎤 “I Don’t Give a Sh*t If You Don’t Like Taylor Swift”
Caleigh kicks things off strong: she doesn’t care if you don’t like Taylor Swift. And honestly? Same.
Hating on successful people has become a personality trait. Whether it’s Nickelback, Creed, or T-Swift, it’s trendy to act “above it all.” But here’s the truth: Taylor is one of the most hardworking, talented performers alive. She writes her own songs, plays multiple instruments, and can sing for three straight hours without missing a note. That’s not luck—it’s discipline.
As Sarah puts it, “She’s just as much of an athlete as her boyfriend, Travis Kelce.” And she’s right. Performing night after night requires training, stamina, and serious strength.
💡 From Taylor Swift to FAFO: The Accountability Conversation
From there, the girls transition into something deeper: the lost art of accountability.
Remember the saying “Play stupid games, win stupid prizes”? That’s basically the FAFO (F* Around and Find Out)** movement in a nutshell. It’s not new—it’s just common sense. Yet, somewhere along the line, we stopped connecting our choices to our outcomes.
People blame genetics, hormones, carbs, the moon—anything but their daily habits. Caleigh shares a Facebook post about a mom claiming her son’s weight is “genetic,” and Sarah doesn’t hold back:
“No, your son’s overweight because of lifestyle choices. You modeled that lifestyle. That’s not genetics—that’s learned behavior.”
Tough love? Yes. True? Also yes.
🧬 The Hormone & Genetics Excuse Trap
The hosts also call out the growing trend of overcomplicating women’s fitness. You’ve seen it: “cycle syncing,” “menopause protocols,” “hormone hacks.” It’s all wrapped up as empowerment—but often it’s just marketing.
Sarah cites a quote:
“Women are sold complexity disguised as empowerment.”
The truth? The basics still work:
✅ Sleep enough.
✅ Drink your water.
✅ Move your body daily.
✅ Eat real food.
✅ Manage your stress.
It’s not sexy—but it’s effective.
🏋️♀️ Weighted Vests Won’t Fix What Laziness Won’t Do
Then there’s the latest “fit girl” trend: weighted vests.
Look, weighted vests can make your cardio tougher, but they’re not a substitute for lifting weights. Caleigh and Sarah make it clear: if you’re wearing a vest but never picking up a dumbbell, you’re not building the muscle that actually transforms your body.
Weighted vests are a tool, not a magic fix. Just like supplements, fancy programs, or “biohacking.”
💬 Final Thoughts: Stop Complaining. Start Doing.
At the end of the day, the message is simple—and a little uncomfortable:
Most people know what to do. They just don’t want to do it.
So stop blaming your hormones, your genes, or your water bottle. Take ownership. Make the boring, consistent choices. And maybe, just maybe, listen to some Taylor Swift while you’re at it.
