“It runs in my family.” But does that mean it has to happen to you?

In this episode of Stranger Than Human, Lindsay and Dr. Perry explore what we inherit—and how the way we live fits into the picture. From epigenetics and aging to stress, food, and gut health, we ask how much of our health story is already written and where we may have influence.

Dr. Perry brings his Eastern medicine perspective to a conversation about listening to your body, asking questions about your care, and making your health a priority before something demands your attention.

If you’ve ever worried about following in your family’s health footsteps, this episode will give you plenty to think about.

Stranger Than Human is a podcast about the deeper mechanics of being alive — where holistic medicine meets energy, consciousness, and the questions most people are afraid to ask out loud.

Why do some people constantly prepare for the worst while others seem able to stay rooted in the present?

In this episode of Stranger Than Human, Lindsay and Dr. Perry explore anxiety and depression through the lenses of self-trust, childhood conditioning, the nervous system, identity, and Eastern medicine. Lindsay shares how worrying became a form of protection—mentally rehearsing worst-case scenarios so she wouldn’t be caught off guard—and why anxiety often points to a deeper fear that we won’t be able to handle what happens next.

They also discuss how the language we use can turn a temporary emotional experience into an identity, the connection between creativity and emotional expression, and the ways food, media, stress, and our environment may influence how we feel. Dr. Perry offers simple practices for interrupting rumination, including speaking your thoughts aloud, walking meditation, grounding, and becoming more intentional about what you allow into your mind.

This conversation is an invitation to stop automatically absorbing everything around you and begin asking: Is this mine? Where is this feeling coming from? And what is it trying to show me?

Because anxiety isn’t necessarily who you are. It may be an experience you’re moving through—and a signal calling you back into a deeper relationship with yourself.

Have you ever traveled somewhere and suddenly felt more energized, inspired—or more like yourself?

In this episode of Stranger Than Human, Lindsay and Dr. Perry explore how where we live may shape far more than our mood. From the identity we embody and the motivation we feel to the ways our bodies respond to climate, seasons, air quality, water, mold, EMFs, and the energy of the people around us—our environment may be influencing us in ways we don’t always recognize.

They also unpack why certain places seem to bring us back to life while others leave us feeling stagnant, uninspired, or physically unwell—and whether our bodies intuitively know where they’re meant to thrive.

Could changing your environment change your health, your energy, and even who you believe yourself to be?

Press play for a wide-ranging conversation about location, identity, Eastern medicine, natural healing, and learning to listen to what your body has been trying to tell you.
