An Aromatic Life The State of Anosmia in 2025 with Katie Boateng & Dia Kline
#140: To celebrate Anosmia Awareness Day, in this episode, Frauke sits down with acquired anosmic Katie Boateng and congenital anosmic Dia Kline to discuss the state of anosmia five years on from COVID. Katie and Dia begin by giving their report card for general public awareness, the anosmia community, doctors, and the scientific community before the pandemic, and where they believe we stand today. They then share what it's been like navigating life with no sense of smell since Anosmia was finally “put on the map”. Katie and Dia also talk about how to best continue to get the message out about anosmia and what ONE thing needs to be done to really, truly make a difference. Finally, they share what they hope to see happen in the next 5 years, and tell us how we can best support the anosmia community. This conversation is an honest, yet hopeful look at the state of anosmia today.
