Tweetable Quotes: “The concern is because food becomes very unappetizing because of the smell, people can start losing weight and, in fact, it can have some mental health challenges, including feeling depressed.” (03:37) (Dr. Brian) “A little different than last week’s discussion of smell training when people lost the sense of smell after COVID. When there’s distorted smell, there’s types of smell training. And this really focuses mostly on fruity flavors, flowery flavors, sometimes spicy. Lemon or rose or eucalyptus or clove; using all these your room might just smell like you’re at a spa.” (05:17) (Dr. Brian) “Typically foods that are more bland can be better tolerated because they don’t trigger as much smell. And that can range from just vegetables, or oatmeal, or cereals for example.” (06:07) (Dr. Brian) “Parosmia occurs in about ten percent of people after they’ve had COVID. Smell training can help. And it’s really focusing on the smells that are more the fruity smells like flowery smells, lemon, rose and eucalyptus.” (07:02) (Dr. Brian) Links Mentioned: DM Dr. Brian your questions and we will respond back with answers - https://v.cameo.com/F5MH0Hglnmb (https://v.cameo.com/F5MH0Hglnmb) https://www.boxerwachler.com/ (Dr. Brian’s Website) https://www.tiktok.com/@brianboxerwachlermd?
