Starting the new year with Covid, Sherry shares her experience of what most people describe as "losing your sense of smell and taste."
Reflecting back on Episode 11 when Sherry hosted her very first guest - Dia Kline, congenital anosmic and comedienne extraordinaire -Sherry shares her personal experience. Although admittedly different for someone who loses an ability vs one who never had it, the experience of loss of smell finally became something that Sherry can speak to first hand.
If you've experienced your own version of this common symptom, in this episode Sherry explains how she experienced the flavor challenges and brings hope and awareness to this seemingly temporary condition that affects the experience of tasting in general, but also creates a beautiful opportunity to fully recognize that the five basic categories of flavor still exist, even though the nuances may have changed.
If you're experiencing long term effects to your smell or taste, The Monell Center has resources that can help.
