Lori Gregory, MS, RPSGT
Lori Gregory is a seasoned sleep and wellness professional with more than 25 years of experience in sleep medicine and technology. As the founder of Sleep & Nutritional Wellness, LLC, she integrates her clinical background with advanced training in nutrition and integrative health to help individuals and organizations improve sleep, restore energy, and support long-term well-being. Her work centers on aligning daily habits with the body’s natural circadian rhythms, empowering clients to achieve sustainable, science-backed health outcomes.
Throughout her career, Lori has remained deeply committed to both patient care and education, currently serving as a Sleep Technology Manager while expanding her impact through coaching, workshops, and speaking engagements. Recognizing the powerful connection between sleep, nutrition, and overall health, she developed innovative frameworks such as the B.E.T.™ (Balance of Energy & Time) philosophy and the S.E.E.™ Model (Sleep, Eating, Exercise). These tools, along with interactive programs like the Sleep Debt Game™, help individuals better understand how lifestyle patterns influence energy, resilience, and performance.
In addition to her coaching and consulting work, Lori is a passionate writer and educator, publishing the D.R.E.A.M.™ Digest, a newsletter focused on sleep, nutrition, and circadian wellness. She also creates resources such as a 52-week wellness guide and is currently working on future book projects. Driven by a mission to help others reconnect with their natural rhythms, Lori continues to build a meaningful legacy that blends science, education, and practical strategies to improve everyday health and quality of life.

What do you attribute your success to?
I attribute my success to my ability to create a spirit of camaraderie and support with my staff. I've been in leadership roles for the last 20-some years, and what I see come forth with me, and what I even hear from a lot of my staff and different people, is how I am such a good listener and I am patient dealing with difficult situations. That's just my skill set, but I've been able to hone that and craft that into a tangible skill set in management that really encourages and helps others. I can bring this presence of calm in the midst of chaos, and so people will come to me because I think they sense that spirit of calm. I guess I can call that an accomplishment, coming from a management perspective and even an employee perspective.
What’s the best career advice you’ve ever received?
The best career advice I’ve ever received is that you can make a meaningful difference by doing what you love and using it to help others.
What advice would you give to young women entering your industry?
My advice to young women entering my industry is to keep going, never give up, and remember that you can inspire and help others along the way.
What are the biggest challenges or opportunities in your field right now?
The biggest challenge and opportunity in my field right now is balancing full-time work with building my own health and wellness coaching business, all while managing family responsibilities.
What values are most important to you in your work and personal life?
Family is very important to me, and I'm an active member of my church, Abundant Life Kingdom Ministries, where I've been since my 20s and have played keyboard for the last 30 years. I'm very intentional about finding that place of calm and centering myself because my life is usually always busy. I give back to my community by speaking to the Maryland Adult Sickle Cell Support Group because I myself have two sons with sickle cell disease who are now young men, ages 27 and 30, and it's something I would not wish on my worst enemy. My way of giving back is to help the young adults and older adults with this disease. I also speak to new cohorts at the local sleep technology school at the community college, and it was so rewarding for me to give back to the career that helped shape me. I appreciate being able to find moments of calm, like walking out when the weather's nice and watching the sunrise at the marshy place across from my neighborhood - just to find that place of calm and center myself outside of everything else that I'm doing.
