Aging, Energy & the Truth About Hormones: Why Metabolism Matters More Than You Think

In this eye-opening episode, Dr. Terry and Lisa sit down to celebrate two years of Living Well Together while reflecting on birthdays, family moments, small-town adventures, and the powerful mindset shifts that come with healthy aging.

But this conversation goes deeper than celebration.

Together, they unpack one of the biggest myths surrounding midlife health: the idea that hormones are the only reason we feel tired, foggy, or out of balance. 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 vitality

Along 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.

Heart Health Month (Part 2): Not Just a Pump, Babe

Welcome 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 heart

If 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.

Brows, Brazilians , and Why Your Blood Pressure Might Be a Nervous System Signal

What 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 averages

We 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.
