Why Food Doesn’t Taste As Good As It Used To & Overcoming Awkwardness

The corona virus vaccine comes as a shot -most likely two shots! And getting shots is no fun. So this episode begins by explaining what you should do just before, during and after you get the shot to make it hurt less. https://www.dailymail.co.uk/sciencetech/article-9018211/Pain-Grimacing-make-injection-bearable-study-claims-ahead-COVID-vaccine-rollout.html Why are so many people overweight? There are likely several contributing factors and one of them seems to be how food tastes. In short, it doesn’t taste as good as it used to according to Mark Schatzker author of the book The Dorito Effect. (https://amzn.to/2L7E0EB). Listen as Mark explains why good food has gone bland while junk food has gotten irresistible - and what we can do about it. We are told to not let little things bother us. But they do. Listen as I explain the top-rated irritants that bother people the most. https://www.consumerreports.org/media-room/press-releases/2009/12/hidden-fees-top-survey-of-what-annoys-americans-most/ Who hasn’t felt awkward? Being awkward is embarrassing yet we have all done or said something that has made us feel that awful awkward feeling. Relationship expert Ty Tashiro joins me to discuss awkwardness, how to handle those awkward moments and why we should all understand that awkwardness isn’t as bad as we think.
