In this episode, Ryan speaks with Angela Goldman, a board-certified health and wellness coach and founder of NRG Health and Wellness. Angela specializes in helping people improve their energy, sleep, and overall well-being through sustainable lifestyle changes rather than quick fixes.

The conversation explores how sleep interacts with nutrition, stress, and daily habits, and why sleep is often the “keystone habit” that supports progress in many areas of health. Angela also discusses how food timing and macronutrients affect sleep quality, how poor sleep influences cravings and metabolism, and the coaching strategies she uses to help people build lasting behavior change.

They also dive into common myths around sleep and wellness, the challenges students face balancing sleep with school and screen time, and practical shifts that anyone can start implementing this week to improve energy and overall health.
