Description

In this sultry episode of The Private Parts of Wellness, Jessica Badonsky unpacks the steamy science of scent, sex, and memory—and why your body odor might be telling more of your story than you think. From the hormonal cocktail that drives attraction to the way birth control messes with your nose (and your lovers), we’re diving deep into why smell is the most intimate of the senses. Expect personal confessions, science-backed bombshells, and a few grounding tricks to help you sniff out what’s real.

You’ll learn:

    • Practical advice for reconnecting with our sense of smell through grounding practices.
    • Why midlife hormones make you smell (and want) differently
    • How birth control changed who you were drawn to

    • What scent has to do with orgasms, intimacy, and identity

    • How to retrain your sense of smell (and your sex life)

    Warning: May cause sudden flashbacks to your ex’s t-shirt.
