It's National Nutrition Month We routinely screen for vision and hearing in healthcare, but rarely smell or taste. Yet these senses shape how we experience food and nutrition. It’s time to include sensory health in routine care. #NationalNutritionMonth #Anosmia #SensoryHealth

A concussion can damage the delicate nerves responsible for smell. For some people, smell never fully returns and food, safety, and daily life can change. Yet smell testing is rarely included in brain injury care. #TBI #BrainInjuryAwarenessMonth #Anosmia

March is National Nutrition Month! Did you know ~80% of what we perceive as flavor comes from smell? Smell loss can affect appetite and nutrition. Yet smell is rarely screened. It’s time to recognize sensory health as part of nutrition! #NationalNutritionMonth #Anosmia

Today is Rare Disease Day. Congenital anosmia, being born without a sense of smell, is a rare disease that impacts safety, nutrition, memory, and daily life. Rare should never mean invisible. #RareDiseaseDay #CongenitalAnosmia #SmellLoss #STANA #RDDNIH

🌍💚 Today is World Mental Health Day. For many living with smell and taste disorders, the impact goes beyond food and safety—it deeply affects emotions, social connections, and overall mental health.

STANA is heading to Philly! ✈️ We’ll be at the 16th Pangborn Sensory Science Symposium Aug 17–21, 2025 🌍 Nearly 1,000 delegates are already registered—don’t miss it! 👉 pangbornsymposium.com #Pangborn2025 #SensoryScience #STANA #smell #taste

Why does this day matter? Because millions suffer in silence. Awareness brings understanding, better care, and hope. Learn. Share. Support. #ParosmiaAwarenessDay #SmellDisorders #YouAreNotAlone #STANA

Today is Parosmia Awareness Day! Parosmia causes smells to become distorted – making things like coffee or fresh air smell rotten or burnt. It affects nutrition, mental health, and daily life.
