Ep #35: How to Practice Self Love

Did you know that it is estimated that as much as 15% of American adults suffer from some form of smell or taste disorder, and that your ability to taste flavor shifts as you get older? In this episode, I had the pleasure of interviewing Dr. Banay Dara Abrams, a woman in technology with a  passion to use technology in order to help improve the health and overall quality of life for others. Using her doctorate in Computer Science, her MA in Counselling, and coursework in gerontology, flavor chemistry, and food science, Dr. Abrams hopes to help people understand the impact that their perception of flavor can have on their diet as well as how factors like aging, sensory dysfunction, and overall health can change their relationship with flavor and food. Our eating habits and food choices are heavily impacted by our relationship, ability to sense and detect, and our understanding of flavor.
