21: Whiff-Busting With Neurologist & Author Rachel Herz

Would you rather lose your cell phone or your sense of smell? Apparently, a lot of chuckleheads would be OK with losing their sense of smell. BUT! Did you know just how integrated your sense of smell is to your mental and physical well-being, your ability to sniff out an ideal mate, and experiencing a full spectrum of emotions (and flavors!) in 4kHD? Tim Apple could never.

Neurologist and smell-specialist Rachel Herz kindly blows our smooth little minds with heaps of information about just how underrated and underestimated the sense of smell is — like how pheromones are a myth, how you can detect various diseases and illness through body odor, how hanging out with babies and other pregnant women can make you more fertile, and how Big Brother may very well soon be using odor profiles to track us. Listen to this episode and never take your sense of smell for granted again! And then immediately go read Rachel Herz's books: The Scent of Desire, Why We Eat What We Eat, and That's Disgusting.
