Today I want to go over some interesting new research on restoring sense of smell. Some interesting data states that insulin is needed to repair olfactory neurons. The olfactory neurons have to do with your receptors for smell, and if damaged, this can affect your ability to taste. If you canāt smell, you canāt taste too well.
Another interesting thing is that the highest density and the highest concentration of insulin receptors in the brain are in the olfactory regions. Insulin has a huge role in the recovery of neurons after an injury. If there is not enough insulin available, you could have a hard time recovering from any type of injury to these neurons.Ā
This is why a prediabetic or diabetic may have more of a loss of smell after damaging those neurons than someone who doesnāt have a problem with insulin. Even people with insulin resistance may have this problem.Ā
Insulin resistance is very common. With insulin resistance, this means you could have an insulin deficiency in certain parts of the body, as well as excess insulin. As far as the neurons in the olfactory area in your sinuses, you could be very deficient in insulin if you have insulin resistance.
It turns out that the use of intranasal spray (spraying insulin into the sinuses) caused an immediate improvement in the sense of smell and smell differentiation.
There are many different things you can do for a loss of smell. But, restoring insulin resistance, so you have enough insulin to help repair these neurons may be the most important thing to do.Ā
How to restore insulin resistance:Ā
ā¢ Go on a low-carb diet
ā¢ Do intermittent fasting (at least 18 hours a day)
ā¢ Take apple cider vinegar before bed (2 tbsp. in water)
ā¢ Regular exerciseĀ
ā¢ Take vitamin D (at least 10,000 IUs per day)Ā
ā¢ Get potassium (from a supplement or from food)
ā¢ Get vitamin B1Ā

Since ditching sugar and carbs 5 weeks ago my body's inflammation has declined so much, I can suddenly breathe through both sides of my nose. This is after going through a septoplasty and two turbinate reduction surgeries about 10 years ago that only improved my breathing briefly. I'm amazed.

Thank you! You answer questions that have been on our minds for years! We're so accustomed to the problem, we rarely, if ever even realize it...especially the ability to smell odors. Thanks my friend!

As a type 1 diabetic I have not beeb able to smell or taste for years. When I started keto and eating foods with zinc I can now breathe, smell and taste foods.

Dr. Berg, I am a black belt (since 1972) but I had been loosing mobility in arms and legs, I was gaining weight I could not exercise off of me. I found your videos and I started Intermittent fasting about 8 months ago. It has been an incredible change in my life, not just in my body. Thank you Doc. the world needs more people like you.

We were told to take more zinc for loss of taste and smell. We actually never lost either when we had covid, and my husband is prediabetic. We took extra zinc the entire time.

I have nasal polyps, which is why my sense of smell was impaired. But I did notice that being on ketosis brings back my sense of smell... not conpletely yet... but it is there now... this is a good video.

I've been following you for a couple of few years so far. I first found you when I was researching fatty liver disease. Learned how to do intermittent fasting from you. And learned what to do to cure the fatty liver disease. it took me a while. I no longer have fatty liver disease. No I'm working on getting rid of gall stones and trying to restore my sense of smell and taste that I lost decades ago
-
Thank you so much for your helpful information. May the Lord be with you today and bless you.

Yeah. You should do intermittenting fasting for your body to not work on all the food and nutritions but on recovering and cleaning your body from the inside.
