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.

More Than Sweat
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 you want to love yourself, sleep.
You’re probably aware that a dark, cool room aids sleep. This episode suggests that and also provides some before-bed practices that may you to go to sleep and stay asleep.
