Why So Many Women Feel “Off” And What Actually Helps Turn Them Back "On" | Ep.123

Your Body Is Sounding the Alarm (Are You Listening?) | Ep 130

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 crisis Resources Mentioned: - Learn more about Knew Health and its prevention-focused health plans.

Why You're Tired... and It's Not What You Think | Ep 129 Pt 2

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 tonight Most 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.

What If Grandma Was Right? | Finding Wellness in a World of Extremes| Ep 126

What happened when we stopped doing the simple things that kept generations before us healthy? In this episode of Living Well Together: Big Life in a Small Town, Lisa and Dr. Terry take a lively (and a little bit rowdy!) look at how modern wellness has swung from one extreme to another... from fat-free everything to high-fat everything, from avoiding the sun to fearing carbohydrates, and from trusting our own bodies to chasing the latest health hacks! They discuss: * The rise of processed foods and high fructose corn syrup * Why "healthy" snacks aren't always helping your goals * Fat-free vs. high-fat diets and what happened when the pendulum swung too far * Fatty liver disease, obesity, and insulin resistance * The importance of carbohydrates, protein, and healthy fats working together * Why recovery, rest, and convalescence have disappeared from modern life * The truth about health insurance vs. health investment * Social media health trends, influencers, and wellness "buzzwords" * The power of food journaling and learning what works for your body * Why moderation and consistency still beat extreme diets every time Along the way, they share personal stories, lessons from Lisa's recovery journey, and practical reminders that sometimes the best wellness advice sounds a lot like something your grandmother would have said. What if you don't need the latest wellness trend or superfood , and what if you just need to get back to basics to achieve the wellness!!
