Common Causes of Smell Loss 

Wonder why you suddenly can't smell your morning coffee or favorite perfume? In this episode of We Nose Noses, Dr. Reddy and Dr. Smith cover the surprising reasons behind smell loss, from everyday issues like sinus infections to more serious conditions like Alzheimer's and Parkinson's.

If you’ve noticed changes in your sense of smell or just want to know how it works, this episode is a must-listen.
