This week, we’re talking about how one bad night of sleep can derail everything—from your cravings to your workouts to your entire will to live. Sara opens up about her recent surgery, neck brace drama, and recovery journey (no, she didn’t get injured doing a backflip at the gym—she just slept wrong, okay?). We also dive into tips from Dr. Andy Galpin on how to take back control when your sleep fails you. Spoiler: it involves more protein than you’d ever expect. Plus, we debate protein shake textures, rage about raisins, and learn a little too much about Caleigh’s breakfast. Sleep-deprived chaos awaits.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.

Sara might not know how to say hypertrophy (seriously, someone help her out), but she definitely knows how to train for it. This week, we’re breaking down what hypertrophy actually is (spoiler: it’s muscle growth, not a trophy for being hyper), how to train for it, and why you won’t accidentally wake up looking like a bodybuilder.Caleigh, on the other hand, is just here to ask the real questions—like, do we actually get a trophy for this? Along the way, we’re talking about how many sets and reps you really need for muscle growth, why lifting heavy won’t make you bulky, and why protein matters more than you think. And, of course, there’s a little bit of chaos (because when is there not?).Hit play and let’s get into 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.

We all like to think we’re getting good sleep—until the data tells us otherwise. This week, Sara and Caleigh dive into sleep tracking, recovery scores, and the shocking impact alcohol has on sleep quality. After a weekend of drinks, one of them woke up to a 28% recovery score—yikes! Can tracking your sleep habits actually change your behavior? And is it time to rethink how we approach alcohol, rest, and overall health?

Ever wondered what your Instagram feed says about you? This week, we dive deep into our own social media algorithms, scrolling through our IG feeds live and reacting in real-time. From unhinged memes to questionable fitness trends (and a concerning amount of butthole talk from Caleigh), this episode is pure chaos in the best way. Plus, we debate whether Instagram knows us better than we know ourselves and why Sara’s feed is oddly educational while Caleigh’s is...well, not.

Fat loss isn’t as simple as “I want this area to shrink, so I’ll just do some crunches.” In this episode, we break down the reality of fat loss—how it happens, where it happens, and why you always seem to fixate on that one stubborn spot. Sara brings her years of fitness expertise to explain why you can’t choose where fat leaves first, and Caleigh shares her relatable struggle of taking progress pics that feel more like a humbling experience than a motivational one. Whether you’re deep into your fat loss journey or just starting, we’ll help you shift your mindset, celebrate small wins, and stop obsessing over that tiny “pooch” that no one but you notices.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.
