   Sweat Pretty Ep 2. Why Do I Always Look Tired? Dark Circles, Under Eye Hollows & What Actually Helps

   Why do you always look tired, even when you're getting good sleep? In Episode 2 of Sweat Pretty, Sheena Nix, RN, fitness instructor, and founder of Sweat Community, sits down with Heather Gilbert, PA-C, of Après Skin and Wellness to tackle a question so many people have: what causes dark circles, under-eye hollows, and that constantly tired look? Heather breaks down how genetics, aging, thinning skin, and changes in facial volume can all play a role. She shares what to know about skincare, under-eye patches, PRF, filler, microneedling, and lasers, and why understanding the cause is key to choosing the right approach. Plus, we talk about simple at home options, when professional treatments might be worth considering, and why finding the right provider matters. Because looking and feeling your best isn't always about doing more. Sometimes, it's about understanding what your skin actually needs, and taking a little time for yourself.

   Ep 19. Are You Exercising Enough? Dr. Noah Kaufman on Fitness, Nutrition and Injury Recovery

   How much exercise do you really need? Do you have to hit a specific protein number/goal? And when an injury happens, should you rest, visit urgent care, or head to the ER? On this episode of Sweat Community, I'm joined by Dr. Noah Kaufman, a Denver emergency physician, rock climber, and former American Ninja Warrior competitor. After more than two decades in emergency medicine, he founded KaufCare, a different approach to acute care focused on transparent pricing and helping people get the care they need. We talk about what it really takes to build a healthier body, including cardio vs. strength training, low-impact ways to get your heart rate up, protein and fiber, nutrition myths, and when movement can help an injury heal versus when it's time to stop and get evaluated. Plus, Dr. Kaufman shares practical advice in our rapid-fire round, covering everything from a rolled ankle to a loud pop during a workout and the symptoms you shouldn't try to walk off. His biggest piece of advice? Find movement you love, have fun, and don't obsess over every little thing. Connect with Dr. Kaufman: Visit www.KaufCare.com or find @KaufCare on social media. Learn more about Colorado fitness, wellness, and events at SweatCommunity.com. And tell me: what made YOU sweat this week?

   Ep 18. BODYBAR Pilates Highlands Ranch: A Beginner's Guide + Behind the Scenes with Stacey Brantley

   What does it REALLY take to open a Pilates studio? From the outside, opening a Pilates studio sounds pretty glamorous. But what happens behind the scenes when you're building one from the ground up? In this episode of the Sweat Community Podcast, I'm sitting down with Stacey Brantley, the owner of the brand new BODYBAR Pilates Highlands Ranch, to talk about everything that happens before the doors officially open, from choosing a franchise and figuring out the finances to assembling furniture, scrubbing toilets, and realizing that sometimes the retail just isn't going to be steamed in time. 😂 We also get into what makes BODYBAR different from traditional reformer Pilates, what "athletic Pilates" actually means, and what someone can expect if they've never stepped onto a reformer before. Plus, we cover: ✨ How beginners can get started ✨ Pilates for people in their 40s, 60s and beyond ✨ BODYBAR's instructor training ✨ Community events after the studio opens ✨ Why Stacey wants the studio to feel like a community, not just a workout If you're in Highlands Ranch, Stacey has a special offer for Sweat Community listeners: mention the Sweat Community Podcast and get 10% off your BODYBAR membership for life.
