In this episode of Sleep Like a Boss, we dive into the essential habits and strategies for staying fit, feeling energized, and getting quality sleep as we age. Midlife often comes with its own set of challenges—weight gain, sleep disruptions, and shifting priorities—but it’s never too late to make impactful changes. We explore the connection between fitness, nutrition, and rest, and discuss how small, sustainable habits can lead to a healthier and more fulfilling life.
Our guest is Brian Gryn, a Functional Diagnostic Nutrition Practitioner (FDN-P), host of the Get Lean Eat Clean podcast, and author of The Stepladder System. With nearly two decades of experience in health and wellness, Brian specializes in helping individuals, especially men in midlife, build strength, improve sleep, and create lasting healthy habits. His approachable, individualized coaching style empowers people to find what works best for their unique needs and goals.

- Common health and fitness challenges in midlife
