White chocolate and anchovies, anyone?







This week, we opened a book by Bob Holmes, FLAVOR: The Science of Our Most Neglected Sense (2017). 







He takes us on an exploration of the sum of all the sensations we get when we have food in our mouth.







He goes all over the world to talk to researchers, food corporation executives, chefs, and “home cooks.” 







Kristen and Eleanor had fun talking about Holmes' insights on flavor pairings, wine tasting, how we can experience more flavor from food, and so much more. Producer Tim even chimes in with his experience too.

Do you ever think about the relationship of pleasure and pain in your life?







Dopamine is getting more attention in the scientific and medical community as well as in "Corporate America." We have unprecedented access to gambling, shopping, food, drugs, social media, news media, video…. 







In her book, DOPAMINE NATION: Finding Balance in the Age of Indulgence (2021), Anna Lembke, Ph.D. explores and reveals the trauma that is unfolding. She skillfully condenses our complex neuroscience to help us understand our relentless pursuit of pleasure.







Eleanor thinks this book is a MUST-read and loved talking about it with Kristen. They highlight some of the riveting stories and concepts Dr. Lembke presents.
