Inspiring Conversations with Lisa McCoskey of Living Well Beauty

Today we’d like to introduce you to Lisa McCoskey.

Hi Lisa, thanks for joining us today. We’d love for you to start by introducing yourself.
Sure! I’m Lisa—and if you had told me a few years ago that I’d be helping women in their 50s and 60s reset their metabolism, reclaim their energy, and feel better than ever, I’d probably smile and say, “Really?! I just want to make it through the day without needing a nap, a donut, or divine intervention!”

Like so many women, I hit a season where I didn’t feel like myself anymore. I had spent years prioritizing health and had already seen amazing results from reducing toxins in my beauty and home through my partnership with a hormone-safe beauty company—but in 2022, my health took a serious and scary turn. I became life-threateningly ill and found myself in a downward spiral I couldn’t “clean-eat”, “move more”, or “mindset” my way out of. My hormones were in chaos, fat cells refused to shrink, and the layered stress of the post-COVID world—environmental overload, emotional burnout, and nervous system dysregulation—felt like too much to bear.

That’s when I began my journey into metabolic restoration—deeply addressing what was going on beneath the surface. I studied peptides, mitochondrial health, nervous system healing, and began rebuilding not just my body, but my life. That experience became the foundation for my recently released, best-selling book, The Radiant Reset™: The Holistic Guide to Peptide Therapies, Metabolic Function & Hormone Harmony—or as I like to call it, A Proven, Common-Sense Approach to Living Well Now.

Before that turning point, I spent over a decade as a wellness consultant at our practice, Living Well Spine Center in Fairborn, Ohio, where my husband, Dr. Terry McCoskey, has been serving our community for 30+ years. I cherished the opportunity to walk alongside him, and help women who were navigating mystery symptoms, inflammation, weight gain, and burnout.

As my passion for healing deepened, I began to recognize that true wellness isn’t just about what we eat or how we move—it’s also about what we absorb. In 2017, my daughter introduced me to Crunchi, a hormone-safe, boutique beauty brand that aligned perfectly with my wellness philosophy. What started as a mother-daughter conversation quickly became a turning point in my professional journey. I discovered the hidden link between beauty and health—how ingredients in our everyday products were quietly hijacking hormones, burdening the body, and stalling healing. That revelation changed the way I approached wellness entirely.

Since then, I’ve stepped fully into my role as an Integrative Beauty + Wellness Specialist, combining clinical insight with clean beauty education and toxin-free lifestyle strategies. I became one of Crunchi’s top leaders and have helped build a thriving community of women—my beloved Living Well Beauties—who are passionate about radiant aging, holistic beauty, and supporting their health from the inside out. It remains one of the most joyful and impactful parts of my journey, and I continue to educate women every day on the powerful connection between toxins, metabolism, and hormonal balance.

These days, I offer concierge-style wellness services to a limited number of clients and share proven tools and personalized support inside my Radiant Wellness Circle. And just for fun, my husband, Dr. Terry, and I co-host the Living Well Together: Big Life in a Small Town podcast, where we aim to strengthen the bonds of our community by sharing inspiring stories & showcasing the unsung heroes who are making a difference.

While I’m not a doctor -yet, I’m currently completing a triple doctorate in holistic medicine, nutritional medicine, and functional medicine, to better serve women at the highest level of health with real answers that respect their biology, and restore their metabolic function. Helping women heal is more than a job to me—it’s a calling. When we remove what harms and restore what’s missing, the body responds, and we begin to feel whole again.

We all face challenges, but looking back would you describe it as a relatively smooth road?
Definitely not a smooth road—but one I’m incredibly grateful for.

There have been seasons that felt more like survival than wellness. I’ve walked through deep exhaustion, unexplained symptoms, hormonal chaos, and even that life-threatening health crisis in 2022 forced me to slow down and rethink everything. It was humbling to realize that despite all my knowledge and best intentions, my body was crying out for deeper healing—and that what had worked before just wasn’t enough anymore.

I had to address metabolic dysfunction, inflammation, emotional depletion, and the toxic overload—both physical and spiritual—that was weighing me down. It wasn’t linear. There were moments of fear, frustration, and doubt. But that valley became the foundation for The Radiant Reset™, and for the very work I now get to share with others.

I also had to navigate the challenge of being a woman in wellness who isn’t afraid to question mainstream narratives. Sharing truth with compassion, walking out my faith, and leading with integrity in a world that doesn’t always make space for that—that’s not always easy. But I wouldn’t trade it. Every hard thing has deepened my compassion and made me a better practitioner, leader, and listener.

Thanks – so what else should our readers know about Living Well Beauty?
I help women who feel stuck—physically, emotionally, or hormonally—break free from survival mode and step into radiant, sustainable wellness. Whether they’re battling stubborn weight, fatigue, brain fog, bloating, or simply feel like their sparkle has faded, I offer personalized support to help them restore balance, energy, and confidence at any age.

I specialize in metabolic restoration through weight loss peptides, regenerative therapies, hormone balance, and smart swap strategies, blending ancient wisdom with the latest in holistic science. My brand is rooted in the belief that healing isn’t one-size-fits-all—so I offer several types of wellness packages that are customized, compassionate, and practical. My clients often tell me they feel seen for the first time in a long time, which is the greatest compliment I could ever receive.

What sets my approach apart is that I don’t focus on weight or symptoms—I look at the whole person – body, blood, mind, spirit. We explore nervous system regulation, emotional detox, gut and liver health, movement that supports hormones like “exercise snacks” and micro-workouts, and a low-tox lifestyle that reduces body burden and supports deep, lasting healing. This is truly beauty and wellness from the inside out… and the outside in. It can feel overwhelming and challenging to tackle alone, but we support our clients by implementing a methodical, step-by-step system that meets them right where they are and gently supports their transformation. We progress in phases—so nothing is rushed, and everything is personally aligned. From balancing hormones and metabolism to detoxing home and heart, we guide them through every level of healing.

My clients’ victories aren’t based solely on what the scale says… sometimes healing looks like climbing the bleacher stairs to cheer on your grandkids with ease, sitting on the floor to play—and getting back up again, feeling confident, connected, and comfortable in your skin—even in the bedroom, enjoying food again—without guilt, bloat, or exhaustion, and/or waking up energized and excited to start your day. These are the real wins. Everyday life lived well.

In addition to my radiant wellness work, I also oversee our Body Code and Energy Healing branch at a Living Well Life, where a trusted team of certified practitioners provides emotional detox, trauma release, and energetic balance sessions to clients of all ages—including animals. These sessions are gentle but powerful, helping uncover the hidden emotional and energetic imbalances that often underlie chronic symptoms. Clients often describe them as “the missing piece” to their healing puzzle—bringing relief in ways they never expected. It’s been a beautiful addition to our practice for almost ten years now—giving people a safe space to release what’s outlived its purpose, and restore peace to their mind, body and soul.

What I’m most proud of, brand-wise, is that everything I share comes from personal experience, clinical practice, and prayerful discernment. I’ve lived this journey. I know what it’s like to want to hide from the world—to feel miserable and invisible… AND I also know how incredible it feels to be on the other side of that – to wake up with immense energy, clarity, and confidence again. Helping other women cross that threshold into healing and wholeness is one of the greatest honors of my life.

Whether someone works with me one-on-one, listens to the Living Well Together podcast, or simply follows along on Instagram, my hope is that they feel encouraged and equipped to take that next best healing step. Because your radiant reset isn’t about vanity—it’s about vitality. It’s about moving forward with renewed purpose, embracing the wisdom of your journey, and awakening the radiance that God designed uniquely for you. The choices you make today don’t just impact your life—they create a legacy of wellness and strength for generations to come.

Do you have recommendations for books, apps, blogs, etc?
I love this question because I’m a big believer in staying both rooted and resourced. My daily rhythms are a mix of spiritual grounding, body movement, continued learning, and joy-sparking simplicity.

The Artist’s Way by Julia Cameron has been foundational for me—it taught me the power of Morning Pages, the Artist Date, creativity as a spiritual practice, and honoring the quiet nudges that lead to growth.

Some of my favorite apps include the Bible App, which is my daily anchor for truth and peace, the DanceFitMe app (so fun!), CallaneticsTV for restorative strength, and Fabulous50s for gentle, hormone-friendly micro workouts. I also love listening to Wholetones, which uses healing frequencies to support emotional and spiritual balance.

For continued learning, I enjoy Dr. Mercola and A Midwestern Doctor on Substack—they often provide alternative perspectives that challenge conventional thinking in helpful ways.

But honestly, a huge part of my wellness routine isn’t about what I consume—it’s about what I don’t. I’m incredibly discerning about the voices I allow into my life. I don’t watch the news, I limit YouTube and certain social media input, and I avoid anything that promotes fear, division, or discontent. I’ve learned that what we listen to, watch, and scroll through can have a huge impact on our nervous system and spirit. Protecting our inner peace is just as important as managing our macros or detoxing our makeup bags.

I always encourage my clients to build a toolbox of resources, including people, that lift them up—ones that speak life, truth, and clarity into their day. That’s where real healing begins.
