What if one of the most powerful tools for protecting your brain health has been right under your nose all along? In this fascinating episode, Jonathan Askholm explores the science of olfaction and its direct connection to memory, emotion, and cognitive function. Drawing on emerging research and personal experience, he explains how intentional smell training may improve memory, mood, and even support healthy aging. This conversation opens a new and highly accessible pathway to brain health, reinforcing that a simple daily practice can have profound effects on how we age. Jonathan Askholm is a brain health educator and co-founder of Memorease, a company focused on olfactory training for cognitive wellness. He has a background in psychology and a passion for teaching practical strategies that support mental and emotional well-being. His work is deeply influenced by his personal experience of losing his father to dementia, which inspired his mission to help others take proactive steps toward brain health.

Can art bridge the gap when memory begins to fade? Today on BH Sales Wellness Wisdom, we are joined by the inspiring Marilyn Raichle (pronounced RAY-shul). Marilyn is a Harvard-educated advocate, the Executive Director of Maude's Awards, and the author of the moving book, Don't Walk Away.After her mother, Jean, received an Alzheimer's diagnosis in her 80s, something miraculous happened: she started to paint. These weren't just hobbyist sketches; they were vibrant, witty, and sophisticated windows into a mind that was very much still "at work."In this episode, we use the KAVE-COGS framework to explore:The "Care Partner" Shift: Why moving away from the word "caregiver" changes the emotional frequency of your home.Creative Resilience: How visual art and sensory anchors (Auditory, Gustatory, and Kinesthetic) can bypass cognitive decline.Maude's Awards: A look at the most innovative "Gold Standard" practices in dementia care today.Marilyn challenges the "empty shell" myth and shows us how to stay present, sovereign, and connected through the power of the creative spirit.
Drei Studien aus 2025 und 2026 zeigen: Eine Impfung gegen Gürtelrose könnte das Risiko für Demenz senken und sogar den Krankheitsverlauf positiv beeinflussen. In dieser Folge erklärt der Neurologe und Generalsekretär der Deutschen Gesellschaft für Neurologie Prof. Peter Berlit, warum Viren wie das Varizella-Zoster-Virus das Gehirn belasten können, wie groß der präventive Effekt der Impfung tatsächlich ist und wer sich impfen lassen sollte. Im zweiten Teil hören wir, wie es Brieftauben gelingt, ihren Weg zurück nach Hause zu finden. Hier geht es zu zwei Studien zur Orientierung der Tauben: "Having the nerve to home: trigeminal magnetoreceptor versus olfactory mediation of homing in pigeons": https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/16857872/ "Olfactory navigation versus olfactory activation: a controversy revisited": https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/29961122/ Infos zur Gürtelrose-Impfung gibt es hier: https://www.infektionsschutz.de/impfen/fuer-erwachsene/guertelrose-herpes-zoster/ "Aha!

Smell is a vital, if underappreciated, medium through which we inhabit and imagine the world. In Olfactory Worldmaking (University of Minnesota Press, 2026), Dr. Hsuan L. Hsu traces how olfactory experience communicates across visceral, material, and affective registers to offer new ways of relating, which challenge the extractive logics of racial and colonial capitalism. Blending environmental humanities, sensory studies, and critical ethnic studies, the book highlights how scent animates suppressed histories and marginalized memories. Dr. Hsu theorizes olfaction as a speculative, reparative practice. Examining projects from historical novels, memoirs, and speculative fiction to conceptual art and experimental perfumes, he reveals how these works mobilize scent to imagine alternative ways of sensing, relating, and creating more equitably livable worlds. This interview was conducted by Dr. Miranda Melcher whose book focuses on post-conflict military integration, understanding treaty negotiation and implementation in civil war contexts, with qualitative analysis of the Angolan and Mozambican civil wars.

Rick Geoffrion, Founder and CEO of Cyrano Therapeutics, is developing a drug to restore olfactory function due to post-viral loss of smell and taste. As a result of COVID-19, there has been a significant increase in the number of people affected by long-term smell and taste loss, with no effective pharmaceutical options previously available. Smell loss can also be an early indicator of neurodegenerative conditions, suggesting future applications of the intranasal spray that aims to directly restore function to the olfactory receptor neurons. Rick explains, "Taste and smell have a really strong connection, actually. First of all, they're two out of the five basic senses that we have as human beings. When you lose your sense of smell, people actually perceive that they've lost about 80% of their sense of taste. Now, technically, you're not losing your sense of taste. We actually just give our tongue too much credit. Our tongue is able to detect sweet, sour, salty, bitter, and umami. That's all it detects, and it detects them really in light monotone that are about 80% less intense if you've lost your sense of smell. In addition, if you no longer have your sense of smell, what you've really lost is the ability to detect flavor in food. So, to tell the difference between a peach, a pear, and a strawberry, maybe you'll tell that visually, but to tell it from a flavor perspective, you completely lose that ability. "There really are no significant therapies to treat the condition right now. Essentially, if you've lost your sense of smell, a physician may recommend that you use smell training, which is essentially the regular smelling of intense essential oils, and they really haven't been shown to significantly treat or cure a chronic smell loss condition. It is thought that if your body is spontaneously recovering, say within those first few months, if you do undergo smell training, you may accelerate that recovery. But other than that, there's certainly no gold standard treatment or no significant treatments available right now, and no pharmaceuticals in the pipeline other than CYR-064, which is being developed by Cyrano." #CyranoTherapeutics #Olfactory #LongCOVID #PostViralLoss #IntranasalSpray #SmellandTaste #LongTermSmellLoss cyranotherapeutics.com Download the transcript here

Welcome back to another riveting episode where the boys inevitably get distracted and go on tangents. However, along the way, the Idiots talk noses. You know, snoots, boopers, snozzes, sniffers, cold wet presses...the list goes on. Learn about some of the super amazing functions of the nose, why they're better with theirs than you'll ever be with yours, and imagine being able to see the world by scent. Also, there were supposed to be some links for references, but you'll have to google that yourself because Cory lost the list and doesn't feel like hearing Kent complain. Again. So, the research is from blubity bloo. Trust me, that will make sense in the context of the episode. Also, if you listen closely, you can hear the cameo of multiple birds on the window bird feeder adding their two cents to the conversation. No one asked, though. Very pushy, insistant, really.
How can we meet an aromatic plant and its essential oil on a deeper level beyond chemical constituents, reading reference books and a “this is good for that” viewpoint? This episode, and new series, considers the qualitative appreciation of aromatic plants and their essential oils. For instance, what do Lavender's qualities sound like, feel like? You guessed it, this episode features Lavender...Explore how Lavender transforms into sound through the synesthetic talent of Yuliana Kireyeva. Further inspired by the evocative works of James McNeill Whistler and the gentle melodies of Erik Satie, you're invited to feel the qualitative nature, the personality, of Lavender. Look forward to a guided body scan accompanied by Satie's Gymnopédie no. 1. And remember, to smell is to feel.

Nutritionist Leyla Muedin discusses the importance of our taste buds and their crucial role in the sensory experience of eating. She explains how the sense of taste is significantly influenced by the sense of smell and outlines various factors that can impair taste, such as nasal congestion, deficiencies in B vitamins and zinc, reduced saliva production, and the use of certain medications. Leyla also covers how aging and dental appliances can affect taste perception. Additionally, she shares findings from a Brazilian longitudinal study on the correlation between ultra-processed food consumption and increased risks of depression over eight years. Leyla emphasizes the benefits of substituting ultra-processed foods with unprocessed or minimally processed foods to decrease depression incidence.

In this episode, Frauke sits down with Professor Andrew Kettler to discuss the role smell played in the Atlantic slave trade of the 19th century. Prof. Kettler begins by defining olfactory racism, and then explains the ‘Anglo Atlantic Nose' as the English departed for the New World. He defines important olfactory-focused concepts like “embodied knowledge”, ”miasma theory”, “false consciousness”, and “emotions of disgust.” Prof. Kettler explains the role of smell during the Middle Passage, the horrific “othering” of the African slave, the role dogs played olfactively, how the Civil War intensifies olfactory racism and makes it worse afterwards, and most importantly the role Capitalism plays in olfactory racism. He also gives the perspective of the ‘African Nose' revealing how important smells were to the African resistance. Prof. Kettler then concludes by sharing what he knows to be true after writing this book, tells how we can apply the learnings to our lives today, and reveals what he's working on next. This conversation will definitely leave an impression and will give you new perspectives that, as a society, we so desperately need. Learn more about Professor Andrew Kettler and his work.

Did you know that humans have the ability to detect over 1 trillion odors, yet our individual reactions to them can vary dramatically? Migraine sufferers can be more sensitive to things in their environment, such as light, sound, and even odors. This is called Osmophobia, or a heightened sensitivity or aversion to certain smells. While this is rare on its own, it is quite common in those who suffer from migraines. In this episode, we're unraveling the mystery of olfactory overload and diving into the connection between odors, fragrance, and head pain. In this episode, you'll hear: What Osmophobia (Ozmo) is and why it can trigger migraines. Where the olfactory bulb comes into play with osmophobia. Odor sensitivity, phantom smells, and the prodrome phase of a migraine. Stats on those who experience a heightened sense of smell during migraine episodes. Common odors that trigger migraines. How emotions and our physical sinuses play a role in how we react to certain smells. Simple ways to reduce your contact with odors that cause head pain and increase your migraine threshold.

What if the path to delaying the onset of dementia symptoms begins at the nose? It is a doorway that the research of Dr. Michael Leon opened with a 2023 study on the power of olfaction enrichment to influence memory function and brain health. The findings drew wide acclaim and interest when his results found that stimulation of our sense of smell with essential oils had a profound impact on memory, cognition, and language recall. Our conversation with Leon on STEM-Talk Episode 164 is available now wherever you enjoy podcasts. Leon's long research career has focused on the influence of environmental enrichment on neurological function, disease, and disorders. He has studied the benefits of sensory-motor stimulation for children with autism spectrum disorder, for the treatment of anorexia and for those with dementia and neurological conditions. He is a professor emeritus in the Department of Neurobiology and Behavior at the University of California Irvine, where his Leon Lab has focused on studying the benefits of increased sensory-motor activity in children with autism spectrum disorder. The work that the Leon Lab is doing is fascinating, and the applications this olfaction stimulation study are potentially important and wide-reaching. Overview: [00:02:33] Dawn starts the interview by asking Michael how he got interested in science. [00:003:59] Dawn asks how Michael got involved in studying olfaction. [00:04:36] Dawn asks about Michael's research on Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD), which resulted in a series of studies from 2013, 2015, and 2016. [00:08:11] Dawn asks how Michael took the principles of environmental enrichment from his work on autism and applied them to his aging research, which began in 2018. [00:09:28] Ken asks Michael about his 2023 study titled “Olfactory enrichment using an odorant diffuser improves memory and modifies the uncinate fasciculus in older adults.” [00:11:25] Ken asks Michael why he chose the specific seven odors that he used in the study. [00:12:24] Ken poses a listener question about whether or not a CPAP machine, which many older Americans use, would complicate Michael's olfactory enrichment protocol, or if it is possible that the CPAP machine and the protocol can be used together. [00:13:35] Dawn asks Michael what the selection and recruitment process was like for this study. [00:14:48] Ken asks, in light of Michael's research on the connection between memory and olfaction, what the potential consequences might be for people who reported loss or diminishing sense of smell following a COVID-19 infection. [00:16:51] Ken asks if any of the olfactory remediation kits have shown promise in restoring lost olfaction following COVID-19. [00:17:32] Ken asks what the mechanism is behind the loss of olfaction following menopause. [00:19:43] Dawn asks Michael how his olfactory enrichment as a memory intervention compares to other memory interventions like dancing, music and audio books. [00:20:22] Ken asks Michael what the limitations of the study were, as well as what kind of follow up he is planning. [00:23:14] Ken asks if there is any promise in applying Michael's olfactory therapy to mild TBI. [00:24:10] Dawn asks Michael to describe how the brain processes information while asleep versus while awake, and if this influenced his study. [00:25:53] Dawn mentions that the participants of Michael's 2023 study were healthy, with no signs of dementia. She then asks Michael if he can speak to the potential use of olfactory enrichment for adults living with a dementia diagnosis. [00:26:41] Ken asks if this olfactory enrichment approach is efficacious for Alzheimer's and other forms of dementia. [00:27:10] Ken mentions the difficulty in treating Alzheimer's pharmacologically due to the varied causes of the disease among individuals. [00:29:10] Ken asks Michael if there are environmental protocols other than olfactory enrichment that s...
