Living Well Together: Big Life in a Small Town
Living Well Together with The McCoskeys | Ep.87
Lisa and Dr. Terry walk down memory lane to the late ’70s/early ’80s—metal lunchboxes, brown-bag book covers, mimeograph magic, flowing hairdos, Chinese jump rope, corduroys, and Friday-night football—then fast-forward to today with simple, common-sense ways to help kids thrive this year.
In this episode: Sears vs. JCPenney school shopping, recess legends (kickball, tetherball), passing notes & fortune tellers, gym “rompers,” and buses with no seatbelts—plus modern realities of phones, screen time, and after-school schedules.
Quick wins for calmer, sharper school days:
- Re-set a consistent sleep/wake rhythm
- Swap sugary evening snacks for protein + fruit
- Add a quality omega-3 and magnesium
- Make one “brain fuel” whole-food meal daily
- Set kind, clear screen boundaries (especially before bed)
Your turn: What’s your strongest back-to-school memory—your lunchbox design, a recess game, or that fresh mimeograph smell? Drop your story in the comments—we’ll read a few on the next episode!
