Living Well Together: Big Life in a Small Town

What if your body has been trying to warn you... long before a health crisis ever happens?After being jolted awake at 1:00 AM by blaring smoke alarms, Dr. Terry and Lisa found themselves talking about something much bigger than dead batteries. Just like a smoke detector, our bodies often send subtle warning signs long before the "four-alarm fire" of chronic illness.In this episode, they explore why stress isn't meant to become a lifestyle, the difference between prevention and early detection, and how small "chirps" like fatigue, poor sleep, pain, brain fog, and rising blood pressure may be your body's way of asking for attention and not just another prescription.They also discuss the growing shift toward preventive healthcare, including innovative insurance models like Knew Health, which reward healthy lifestyle choices instead of simply paying for sickness after it occurs.In this episode, you'll learn:- Why chronic stress keeps your body stuck in fight-or-flight- The early warning signs your body may already be giving you- Prevention vs. early detection (and why the difference matters)- Why lifestyle—not genetics—drives most chronic disease- How "checking your batteries" today could prevent tomorrow's health crisisResources Mentioned:- Learn more about Knew Health and its prevention-focused health plans.

In Part 2 of our Sleep Series, Dr. Terry and Lisa explore why sleep isn't just about getting more hours—it's about understanding what your body is trying to tell you.From stress hormones and blood sugar swings to nervous system health, inflammation, spinal alignment, and metabolic function, you'll discover why poor sleep is often a symptom rather than the real problem.In this episode, you'll learn:* Why being overtired can actually make sleep worse* What waking between 2:00–4:00 AM may be telling you* How your metabolism and sleep quality affect each other* Dr. Terry's favorite sleep positions for spinal health* Natural strategies to help your body relax and recover* Simple habits that can dramatically improve your sleep—starting tonightMost importantly, we discuss one question we believe everyone should ask:Instead of "How do I fix my sleep?" ask, "Why is my body struggling to sleep in the first place?"If you're ready to stop chasing symptoms and start discovering the root cause, this episode is for you.Sleep helpers:Glycine dissolved in water an hour or so before bed: https://amzn.to/4gCRrsPCymbiotika SLEEP: https://cymbiotika.com/LISAMCCOSKEYInositol: https://livingwellspinecenter.standardprocess.com/products/inositol-powderMagical Valerian Root: https://livingwellspinecenter.standardprocess.com/products/valerian-complexHolistic Wellness Resources:🌿 https://zaap.bio/thelivingwellexperience❤️ Schedule a Complimentary Wellness Consultation:https://livingwellbeauty.com🦴 🦴 Learn More About Corrective Chiropractic Care:https://livingwellspinecenter.com🎙️ Missed Part 1?Be sure to listen to Episode 128 of our Sleep Series for foundational sleep strategies, circadian rhythm support, and additional practical tips to improve sleep naturally.https://youtu.be/J63RXIcXIvEIf this episode encouraged you, please subscribe, leave a review, and share it with someone who could use a better night's sleep.

Life feels loud right now, and we’re having a real conversation about what it takes to stay grounded in the middle of it all! In this conversation, we’re talking about mental fitness, nervous system overload, fight-or-flight, recovery speed, and the difference between looking calm and actually being regulated - all of it. We unpack how stress gets stored physically, how the body can get stuck in a loop, and why so many people are walking around exhausted, overstimulated, and running on “loud” without even realizing it.We also talk about the role of upper cervical care and how misalignment at the top of the spine can affect posture, tension, sleep, digestion, hormones, mood, and overall regulation. Dr. Terry explains it in such a simple, powerful way, and I think this conversation will help so many people connect the dots.We also share some of the small things that can help when life feels overwhelming:micro-rest moments, long exhales, protecting your mornings, tech-free time, better self-talk, simple rhythms, and the everyday grounding practices that help you recover faster.And because this is living well together, there’s a little weekend recap, some honest talk about being annoyed with everything, a teaser about Body Code, and a very important side trail about Table 33 and the Dessert Room. Real life. Helpful truth. A little laughter. And some things to think about.If this conversation resonated with you, be sure to like, subscribe, comment, and share it with someone who may need a little more calm, clarity, and regulation in their life right now.Links and Resources:Living Well Spine Center: https://livingwellspinecenter.comSchedule a consult or upper cervical check: https://livingwellspinecenter.comUpper Cervical Master Class: https://livingwellspinecenter.comBody Code session info: https://www.alivingwelllife.comTable 33: https://www.table33dayton.comThe Dessert Room: https://dayton937.com/dayton-dining/the-dessert-room-opening-dec-11th

In Episode 113 of Living Well Together: Big Life in a Small Town, Lisa and Dr. Terry explore how a simple weekend experience turned into a thoughtful conversation about life, legacy, and the meaning behind the things we keep in our homes.After visiting an estate sale with their son in law and granddaughter, Terry found himself unexpectedly reflective while walking through a stranger’s house and seeing the personal belongings that once filled someone’s daily life. The experience opened the door to a deeper discussion about what happens to the things we accumulate and how our homes hold stories, memories, and pieces of who we are.Lisa shares her perspective on the idea of Swedish death cleaning, which they reframe as something they prefer to call a Home Audit. Instead of a rushed effort to get rid of everything, they talk about slowly and thoughtfully balancing the things that bring joy today with the desire not to leave unnecessary burdens for loved ones later.The conversation also touches on the growing interest in death doulas and green funerals, inspired by content Lisa has been following from The Modern Mortician. These approaches encourage families to slow down, stay present, and honor the quiet and sacred moments that come with saying goodbye.As always, the discussion returns to what matters most in the Living Well philosophy. Supporting life while we are here through mineral sufficiency, nervous system care, chiropractic care, and the small daily choices that help people feel more alive.Listeners are left with a simple reflection.What in your home feels alive to you?What objects hold a story or bring a moment of joy every time you see them?Resources and links:The Modern Mortician: https://www.facebook.com/TheModernMorticianFavorite Mineral Cell Salts: 10% off by clicking and ordering from this link:  https://bestmadenaturalproducts.com/?ref=LIVINGWELLLiving Well Spine Center: https://livingwellspinecenter.comFor a mineral hair analysis kit, schedule a complimentary consult here: https://alivingwelllife.as.me/?appointmentType=60842762

Zone 2 Cardio, Movement Snacks, and Aging Well on PurposeIn this high-energy (not high-intensity 😉) episode, Dr. Terry and Lisa continue the conversation on aging, metabolism, and what it really means to stay strong and vibrant as the years go by. After Lisa’s recent birthday reflections, the discussion shifts toward practical, sustainable ways to move your body without burnout — including the trending concept of Zone 2 cardio, functional fitness, and the power of simple “movement snacks” woven into everyday life.Together, they unpack why more exercise isn’t always better, how stress hormones like cortisol can impact fat storage and recovery, and why fitness and true wellness are not always the same thing. Dr. Terry explains the science behind mitochondrial health, metabolic flexibility, and why low-to-moderate intensity movement may be the sweet spot for long-term energy — while Lisa keeps things real with questions about rebounding, real-life workouts, and finding movement that actually feels doable.You’ll also hear their perspective on:✨ Functional fitness vs traditional bodybuilding✨ Why muscle tone matters for bone health and aging well✨ Movement snacks you can do in real clothes — no gym required✨ Personalized nutrition, protein balance, and mineral support✨ The mindset shift from pushing harder to moving smarterThis episode is equal parts laughter, practical wisdom, and honest conversation about what it means to stay anti-fragile as we age.

Instead, they explore how metabolic efficiency, mitochondrial health, minerals, and nervous system support play a central role in energy, recovery, and longevity.You’ll hear real-life insights from Lisa’s personal metabolic restoration journey, plus Dr. Terry’s practical perspective on how lifestyle choices... not just genetics... shape the way we age.✨ In this episode, you’ll learn:• Why energy production matters more than “fixing hormones” alone• How mitochondria function as the body’s true powerhouse• The difference between managing symptoms vs. supporting health• Why minerals and cellular support are gaining attention in wellness• How mindset, movement, and metabolic balance influence aging well• Practical ways to gauge your body’s recovery, motivation, and vitalityAlong the way, they share stories from their small-town life, from local bakery favorites to a unique immersive dining experience, reminding us that living well isn’t just about protocols… it’s about creating a big, vibrant life right where you are.If you’ve ever wondered whether feeling tired, inflamed, or “off” is just part of getting older, this episode will challenge that belief and offer a more hopeful perspective.👉 Like, follow, comment, and share with someone who wants to age with energy, clarity, and purpose.30% off Cell Salts: https://bestmadenaturalproducts.com/?ref=LIVINGWELLTissue cell salts: https://amzn.to/4rrIGViNeed support on your metabolic restoration journey??

Heart Health Month (Part 2): Not Just a Pump, BabeWelcome back to Living Well Together: Big Life in a Small Town—Part 2 of Heart Health Month, where we start with the cardiovascular system… and somehow end up talking about emotions, family dynamics, and what you’re watching on TV.Because yes—the heart is a pump. But it’s also the emotional center, an electrical powerhouse, and, let’s be honest, the place where life piles up.In this episode, we talk about:- How stress + emotions can create real physical changes in the body- “Guard your heart” vs. staying open-hearted (hello, discernment 👀)- Why some people feel like sunshine… and others don't- Body Code / Emotion Code work (without reliving trauma on a couch)- How one person healing can shift a whole household- And the practical side: foundational heart support we love—omega-3s, whole-food B vitamins, magnesium, hawthorn, and CardioPlus, and how they all can impact your heartIf you’ve been feeling a little “off,” a little stressed, or a little like your nervous system has been living in overdrive… this one’s for you.Like, subscribe, share—and welcome to our wellness freak show (said with love).Links and Resources:- Order Standard Process here.

Brows, Brazilians , and Why Your Blood Pressure Might Be a Nervous System SignalWhat starts as a simple eyebrow moment quickly turns into… well… a full-blown Living Well Together episode. 😅In this one, Lisa gives Terry a little “silver fox” brow makeover using Crunchi’s newly launched optimized NutriBrow, and yes… we debate what shape makes you look surprised vs. slightly angry vs. “McDonald’s arches”. Terry, being the good sport he is, asks the important questions — like whether there’s a white brow pencil option and what, exactly, a “Brazilian” is… because apparently it’s slightly more than a million. 😂But then we pivot — because it’s February, and in the office that means Heart Health Month.We talk about why heart disease and cardiovascular issues are still a major conversation in America (yes, we reference the CDC), and why waiting until you “feel bad” is a terrible health strategy.Terry breaks down blood pressure in a way that actually makes sense:- Why blood pressure is often a signal, not a failure- What “sympathetic dominance” has to do with blood vessels staying tight- The classic garden hose analogy (with a few spicy extras 😬)- Why cholesterol isn’t the villain people think it is- And why personalized care matters because there’s no such thing as a “normal” person, only averagesWe also get into the upper cervical chiropractic / atlas connection and how the brainstem and autonomic nervous system play a bigger role in regulation than most people realize — plus a fascinating study that found measurable drops in blood pressure after a specific upper cervical correction and why the research conversation is still evolving.And because we’re us… we also take a brief detour into Aunt Gwen’s “anti-aging” skincare secret and why Terry thinks our healthcare system sometimes acts more like disease management than actual health management.Next week: we’re coming back with Part 2 — more practical, holistic heart support strategies, lifestyle, emotional heart health, the importance of a healthy family heart, and what it looks like to truly balance the system… and Terry will (hopefully) have eyebrows that match.🔗 Links + ResourcesWant to snag the goodies we mentioned in today’s episode?🫀 Standard Process (Clinician / SLP Ordering)Enroll in our free Patient Direct program and shop our practitioner-recommended Standard Process support through our clinician portal here:👉 https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSek42tGI0bddlaDek7zRTgLXMlBrDGl-jGYXw4U5g08Wx2DHg/viewform?usp=header✨ Crunchi – New Optimized NutriBrow FormulaGrab the new Crunchi NutriBrow (all shades) here:👉 https://crunchi.com/?als=lisamccoskey 💄 25% Off Sale: Everluxe Lipstick + HydroGloss Lip OilTake advantage of the 25% off lip sale (Everluxe Lipstick + HydroGloss Lip Oil):👉 https://crunchi.com/?als=lisamccoskey P.S.

In this episode of Living Well Together: Big Life in a Small Town, we recap a whirlwind stretch (family fun + Florida business + airplanes doing surprise U-turns 😅)… and then we get into something we’re hearing everywhere right now:Trend overload.The hacks. The hot takes. The “do this or you’re behind” energy.We talk about why the constant health chatter can quietly dysregulate your whole system (hello, stress hormones 👀), why simplicity + rhythm still wins, and how to stop piling on the supplements.Then we make it practical: if you’re feeling overwhelmed, we share a reset approach that’s grounded in two big pillars:✅ Increase sufficiency (nutrients + minerals your body needs)✅ Decrease toxicity (what’s weighing your system down)And because we’re us… we wrap it up with one of our favorite topics: your body’s “clue system.”From tongue signs to ear creases, thinning eyebrow tails, dark circles, dry lips, brittle nails, and more — your body might be talking.

Similar… But Not the Same — Why One-Size-Fits-All Medicine Is Officially OverWhat do mosquitoes, strawberries, fluoride, vaccines, and the Garden of Eden have in common?Apparently… your health. 😄In this Florida-fresh episode of Living Well Together: Big Life in a Small Town, Terry & Lisa pull back the curtain on a huge shift happening in healthcare — the collapse of one-size-fits-all medicine and the rise of personalized biology.We dive into:✨ Why “similar but not the same” may be the most important phrase in healthcare✨ The childhood vaccine schedule — what’s changing and why conversations matter more than mandates✨ How toxicity vs. deficiency drives almost every disease✨ Why fluoride is suddenly under fire — and what it may be doing to your brain, bones, thyroid & hormones✨ The forgotten power of nutrition (and why doctors barely learn it)✨ Real-world ways to protect your teeth, your brain, and your family — without medicating through the plumbingPlus, a few rabbit trails into baking soda, hydrogen peroxide, why your grandparents had better teeth than you, and how to ask the most powerful medical question ever:“Where did you read that… and could I have a copy?”This episode isn’t about fear.It’s about freedom, informed decisions, and trusting the brilliant design of your body.If you’ve ever felt like the system wasn’t built for you — this one’s for you.🎧 Hit play, saddle up, and let’s start asking better questions.

Flipping the Script on Healthcare — What 2026 Has in StoreWhat do airport strangers, sassy, independent 80-ish-year-old road-tripping chicks, and the upside-down food pyramid have in common?Us. Apparently. 😂In this episode, Terry and I are fresh off a family celebration in South Carolina (yes, the Sorbellos are officially official 💍) and somehow find ourselves spiraling into one of the most important conversations we’ve had yet — the massive shifts happening in the U.S. healthcare system as we head into 2026.We talk about:🥗 Why the food pyramid finally got flipped (and why it matters more than dieting)📊 How America spends trillions managing sickness instead of building health🏫 What new nutrition standards could mean for school lunches, SNAP programs, and even the military🧠 Why protein isn’t just for muscles — it’s for hormones, brain chemistry, detox, and energy🍞 The real difference between a carb and a smart carb📝 The simple two-week food journal experiment that can change everything💬 And why not everyone actually wants a healthier nation (yep… we said it)This is not about politics.It’s not about perfection.It’s about asking better questions — because if we keep doing what we’ve been doing, we’ll keep getting what we’ve been getting.Stick with us for Part 1 as we tackle food, fuel, and functional thinking — and don’t miss Part 2 next week when we unpack even more changes that will affect your family, your wallet, and your future health.👇 Drop your thoughts, hallelujahs, or “wait… what?!” moments in the comments.📌 Follow, subscribe, and share with someone who still thinks Rice Krispie bars (one of Lisa's favorites) count as breakfast.Because it really is a big life in a small town.

In this compelling episode of Living Well Together, we sit down with Rick Perales — retired U.S. Air Force veteran, longtime public servant, devoted husband, father, and grandfather, and the voice behind the PitBull214 podcast.After decades of service in uniform and in public office, Rick has made it his personal mission to ensure that no veteran is left navigating life alone. Through PitBull214, he is closing the information gap that keeps too many veterans and their families from accessing the resources, benefits, and opportunities they have already earned.Rick shares why Beavercreek became home, how service became part of his DNA, and what he has learned about the unseen struggles veterans face after the uniform comes off. This conversation stays above politics and focuses on what truly matters — honoring sacrifice with action, strengthening our local community, and equipping veterans with the knowledge they need to thrive.If you have served, love someone who has, or simply want to be part of building a stronger, more informed veteran community in Greene County and beyond, this episode will leave you inspired — and equipped.🎙️ Follow Rick’s podcast PitBull214 on YouTube to stay connected with vital veteran resources and stories that matter:https://www.youtube.com/@Pitbull214podcast

The holidays have a way of turning the volume up on everything — stress, relationships, emotions, expectations… and sometimes even our sniffles. In this pre-holiday, slightly-unscripted, very real episode of Living Well Together, we’re doing what we do best: pulling up a couple of chairs, talking honestly, and sorting through life together.From marriage and faith to teamwork, journaling, stress, and the tiny daily disciplines that quietly shape our lives, this conversation is a reminder that growth doesn’t come from perfection — it comes from commitment. We talk about what it really looks like to grow in faith together, why your marriage isn’t something to “fix” but something to steward, and how consistency in the small things creates strength when life feels heavy.We also dive into:- Why the holidays amplify both joy and tension- How partnership, humor, and grace keep a marriage strong- The power of morning pages, journaling, and offloading stress to God- Why “little disciplines” matter more than big, dramatic changes- Protecting your marriage with intention (no vacancy signs included 😉)- Managing stress as a team instead of carrying it aloneThis episode is honest, lighthearted, faith-filled, and grounded in real life — the kind of conversation you listen to and think, “Yep… we’re not the only ones.”✨ Join the conversation and community here:👉 https://www.facebook.com/groups/livingwellexperience📘 The journaling practice we reference (and love):👉 https://amzn.to/48VyMD5💜 Special thanks to our friends Beth Justice, Steph Motter, and Cindy Michael for inspiring this episode and the meaningful questions that sparked such a rich conversation.As always — subscribe, share this episode with someone you love, and remember: big life really is lived in the small, faithful moments.

In Episode one hundred and ONE (can you believe it?!), Lisa and Terry kick off the holiday season with a fun, heartfelt, and deeply practical conversation about navigating December with more peace, more presence, and a whole lot less pressure.After reminiscing about 101 episodes of community stories, small-town gems, and unforgettable guests, your hosts dive into what really happens this time of year — the emotional stress, the sugar swings, the exhaustion, the over-committing, the grief of “first holidays without,” and the constant pressure to be festive even when life feels heavy.You may laugh, you’ll nod “yes… that’s me,” and you’ll walk away with a handful of simple Living Well tools to help your body, mind, and spirit stay grounded this season.In this episode, they unpack:- Why December is secretly one of the most stressful months for your nerve system- The fight-or-flight pattern and how it wrecks sleep, digestion, and immunity- Sugar overload (a.k.a. “the parade of poor-choice carbs”) and how to buffer against it- Holiday grief + emotional pressure and why “performing joy” can backfire- Hydration hacks (hello, electrolytes, lemon water, and mineral support!)- Protein-first holiday survival + the bone broth trick- Why over-exercising backfires for menopausal women- The power of micro-workouts to keep you moving without spiking cortisol- Seasonal swaps like clove tea, ginger, Ceylon cinnamon (not cassia!), and broth-based mealsYou’ll also hear some good McCoskey humor, a few call-outs to Graham, and Lisa’s newest “Living Well tips” to support energy, digestion, inflammation, and emotional steadiness through all the holiday swirl.❤️ A December reminder from Terry:“When you focus on the birth, life, death, and resurrection of the Savior, it suddenly becomes easier to make better choices, skip the extra cocktail, go to bed on time, and step out of the pressure. It re-centers everything.”As we wrap up 2025 and step toward 2026, this episode is your gentle nudge to feel present, not pressured — and to create a holiday rhythm that’s actually nourishing.If you love it, be sure to like, follow, and share with someone who needs a little holiday exhale.Living Well Favorites:👉 Nectar ElectrolytesOur favorite clean, balanced electrolyte mix for rebuilding minerals and preventing “dead water” dehydration.Shop the 10% off link: https://go.shopmy.us/p-34485194👉 Magnesium Decoder GuideA simple breakdown of each magnesium type, what it helps with, and how to choose the right one for sleep, stress, or digestion.Grab the free guide: https://livingwellbeauty.myflodesk.com/magnesium👉 Cymbiotika Magnesium ComplexA high-quality, multi-form magnesium supplement that supports relaxation, blood sugar balance, and stress resilience.Get 20% off with this link: https://cymbiotika.com/LISAMCCOSKEY👉 Organic Bone Broth A protein-rich, gut-supportive way to stay full before holiday events and prevent sugar crashes later.Delicious collagen support: https://amzn.to/4rRpxww👉 Binaural Beats / Healing Frequencies PlaylistThese calming frequencies help regulate your nervous system and turn down cortisol in just a few minutes.Listen here: www.wholetones.com👉 Organic Ceylon CinnamonThe only cinnamon I recommend — supports blood sugar and digestion without the harmful coumarin found in cheap cassia cinnamon.https://livingwellbeauty.com/is-your-cinnamon-safe-a-cozy-fall-favorite-with-a-not-so-cozy-secret/

Lisa shares how hobbies can reset your nervous system, open up new neural pathways, and pull you out of the “all work, no play” rut so you can stay curious, creative, and youthful.Tune in, laugh along, and then ask yourself:What new hobby will you pick for the year ahead—and who will you invite along on this adventure? 💫
