Smell loss and dementia are more connected than you think! Research shows that a diminished sense of smell can be an early warning sign of cognitive decline, including Alzheimer's disease. In this video, I'll break down the scientific link between smell and brain health, real-life examples of how smell loss has been a first symptom of dementia, and the steps you can take if you notice this in your loved one.
