Love this haul, thank you! 🌷 I always tried to hide my body under clothes — but after doing The Meno Reset Protocol, I lost 28 lbs and now feel good in my own skin again 💃💓

I always wondered why some certain smells make me feel very confident and others fearful . Now I know

I needed this. COVID significantly reduced my sense of smell and even my taste. It’s hard to enjoy the scent of the air after a fresh rainstorm, and I’m constantly paranoid about my body odor because I can’t really detect it anymore (I do shower everyday!). I’ve become a spicy food connoisseur, and while it could be worse, I can’t drink Coke or Pepsi anymore—they just taste like pure chemicals now. Luckily, I can still enjoy Orange Fanta. My hypothesis is that COVID’s spike protein caused nerve damage. If these sensory nerves were affected, I can’t help but wonder—what else might be damaged that I just haven’t noticed yet? Cardiovascular nerves? Kidney cells? Liver function?

I enjoy smelling my pillow every night in bed and it calms me down. Gives me some nostalgic feeling too

I just wanted to say thank you for being here. I have been listening to your podcast for years and was just accepted into a graduate program in pursuit of science and health. I have your podcast to thank, it inspired me to be more🙏🏼

When i was 9 my mom and i did a science fair project of "the effects of aroma therapy" presenting about 8 diffrent scents to people and getting there felt effects from the scents. It floored me, scent plays a huge role in our mood so much so that its a big part of my life from the candles i burn to the cologne i wear. Its very strategic

Incredible how something as subtle as scent can have such a powerful impact on human behavior and decision-making. The connection between smell, memory, and even attraction is so underrated. Huberman always makes neuroscience feel both fascinating and actionable. 👃🧠🔥

Was waiting for this! Smell is so underrated.
