MIT Scientist: When You Can't Get Out of Your Head, Try Your Nose | Soul Toll S1E3

In episode three, Anusia Gillespie talks with Andreas Mershin — quantum physicist, 22-year MIT researcher, and Chief Science Officer of RealNose — about how smell, the most ignored sense you have, is actually a tool for co-creating your reality.SUPER NOSE?There's something that you are thinking way too much about. Overanalyzing. Instead of doing. But today, you're going to learn how to co-create your reality — using your nose. Your sense of smell. The most powerful and most ignored sense you have.If you've been stuck in your head, this is the conversation that gives you a tool you've had all along.ABOUT THE EPISODEIn this episode of Soul Toll, host Anusia Gillespie sits down with quantum physicist and former MIT researcher Andreas Mershin for a conversation about smell as an untapped human superpower.Andreas spent over two decades at MIT studying machine olfaction — SniffTech — and how scent shapes emotion, memory, perception, and possibility faster than conscious thought.Inside the conversation: why our bodies emit a constant "scent aura" rich with information about our physical and mental states; how dogs can smell cancer before symptoms appear; and how you can use scent to access focus, calm, clarity, and courage.ABOUT THE GUESTAndreas Mershin has spent 22 years at MIT and is now Chief Science Officer of RealNose, using machine olfaction to diagnose disease. He is the co-author of Perceptual Engineering: How Olfaction and Other Senses Create Reality. His research explores how the senses, especially smell, shape what is possible for us as humans.Andreas's Book: Perceptual Engineering: How Olfaction and Other Senses Create Reality.
