681. What If “Not Feeling Like Yourself” Is Bigger Than Your Hormones with Luke Storey

What if the reason you don't feel like yourself isn't only your thyroid or your hormones? In this episode, I'm joined by Luke Storey, host of The Life Stylist podcast and author of the new book, A Horse Named Lonesome, to unpack what happens when pain shapes us, and what we reach for so we don't have to feel what's underneath. For Luke, that was drugs, alcohol, and relationships. For many of us, it's the nightly glass of wine, overworking, controlling everything, or chasing the next diet or supplement. We also get into the loneliness at the heart of Luke's book, and why he believes it's less about a shortage of people and more about disconnection from ourselves. Luke shares why some of the most powerful health tools are free, why he calls it bioharmonizing instead of biohacking, and how he found gratitude for the hardest parts of his past without pretending they were good. And I share why I believe you're not successful despite what you've been through, but because of it. What you'll learn: Why optimizing your thyroid and hormones may not be enough if you're still carrying old survival patterns What "addictions that don't look like addiction" can look like for high-achieving women Why Luke believes loneliness is an inside experience you can feel even in a room full of people How chronic emotional stress can show up in the body, from digestion to sleep Why Luke calls it bioharmonizing, and which free habits like morning sunlight he leans on most How Luke separates being victimized from making victimhood an identity Where gratitude fits when something truly wasn't okay Tune in to hear amazing Luke's story, and listen for where you might see yourself in it.
