More Than Sweat

About More Than Sweat

More Than Sweat is a natural extension of Brook Benten's 2024 book, "Sweat with Brook Benten." In both, Brook encourages movement and emboldens humans to go at hard things with gumption. With every word of every episode and every page of the book, she guides her audience to a world of well-being where worth has nothing to do with a workout. She encourages listeners to walk as they tune in to episodes. In season one, every episode is synchronized to music to guide a walking pace. But the message is always more than sweat. This podcast exists to guide growth. "You had the power all along, my dear." -Glenda the Good Witch Music courtesy of Royalty Free Fitness Music. Brook Benten, M.Ed., is an exercise physiologist, life coach, and personal trainer in Austin, Texas. @BrookBenten

   Season 3, Episode 7: Sobriety

   Wellness and alcohol do not go together. No amount of alcohol is safe (World Health Organization). You don’t need to drink less to optimize well-being. Alcohol is a toxic drug that hijacks your pleasure chemicals and creates a craving for more of itself. This podcast gives marketing history on Big Alcohol and Big Tobacco. “Drink responsibly” is meant to deceive you into thinking that poison isn’t a problem. That propaganda posits that some people cannot use it right. Poison. They don’t poison...

   Season 3, Episode 6: Sleep & Sleep Aids: Meditation, Cold Plunge, and Stress Mgt

   In a nutshell, this episode is about sleep. But the nutshell comes with the tree, brush, branches, squirrels, and (13:30) a yapping Yorkie. Sleep is crucial to wellness. If you want to make wise food choices, sleep. If you want energy to exercise, sleep. If you want mental focus and brainpower, sleep. If you want to be patient with people, sleep. If you want to perform tasks expected of you, sleep. If you want to choose water over wine, sleep. If you want to make life easier, sleep. If ...
