Why should anyone care about flavor?
Flavor is your body’s guide to eating delicious, nutrient-rich meats, vegetables, and fruits and avoiding those that lack richness of flavors and nutrients. Over many years, my research group studied how feedback from cells and organ systems alters liking for the flavors of foods as a function of nutrient richness and nutritional needs. Nothing is more important for manifesting the wisdom of your body. That’s why I couldn’t be more enthusiastic and supportive of the work Sherry is doing to awaken people to the importance of flavor. As She notes insightfully, “Flavor is the remedy for boring food (that lacks nutritional richness). Flavor is the remedy for your health (through the wisdom of your body). Flavor is the remedy for the planet (through growing nutrient-rich foods that nourish soil, plants, and animals including we humans).

I knew that my citrus fruit had nutrient advantages
but until testing with Sherry I had not realized the direct correlation with flavor. Her input has gotten me to add the human element to evaluating fruit, even an emotional component. Taste is Passion and Sherry opened that window for me. Now a flavor comparison goes right along with any lab analysis I do.

From Soil to Senses: Why Flavor Matters
Flavor is more than preference—it’s a reflection of our food’s nutritive status.
As a Strategic Health Advisor, I help people reconnect with their bodies and build health plans that actually work for real life. Sherry Hess’ perspective on flavor is a powerful complement to that.
Taste isn’t just for pleasure—it’s one of the body’s built-in ways to know what it needs. And yet, that natural signal has been thrown off course. Ultra-processed food is the obvious offender, but even the fresh-looking stuff in the grocery store has been messed with. Most produce is picked too early and made to look ripe on the outside. And animal proteins—meat, poultry, seafood, fish—are manipulated to appear fresh, even when they’ve lost flavor and nutrition along the way.
As a result, we’re left with food that looks the part, but doesn’t satisfy. Our taste buds are confused. Our bodies are undernourished.
The Flavor Remedy helps bring that clarity back. It helps you feel what real nourishment tastes like again. That’s why I believe in supporting regeneratively raised foods and bringing more locally grown, truly flavorful options into our communities.
This is about more than food—it’s about getting back to what your body knows, and trusting it again, if not for the first time altogether.
—Dr. Sam Graber
Working with Sherry Hess
transformed how I experience food and health. Her unique approach centering taste as a vital biological function helped me reconnect with flavor in a meaningful way. With her guidance, I made sustainable changes that improved my sugar levels, supported weight loss, and completely shifted my relationship with eating. Meals are now something I savor, not just consume. A true experience of nourishment, joy, and balance. Sherry isn’t just a nutrition guide; she is a flavor mentor who helped me taste my way to better health.

I came to the Your Senses Uncensored event
with the intention of learning as much as I could from the amazing Sherry Hess. She is a wealth of knowledge and her passion for helping people heal through food & flavor is infectious. I walked away from the event not only having learned new things, but excited to start experimenting with flavor on a much larger scale than I have before. And, I also felt a renewed sense of confidence in trusting my ability to understand flavor, apply it to how I serve my meal prep clients & how I cook at home for my own family. Thank you!"

Oh my goodness,
today's experience has been out of this world. Not only is Sherry an amazing educator, but I've learned so much about the flavors in everything that I'm consuming and the combinations of things have been outstanding. Honestly, I feel that this time today is worth every single penny even more. The knowledge that I'm going to be able to take away from this workshop is gonna be game changing for my family and they're not even going to realize until they take that first bite of food. I'm so excited to be a part of this today and I'm so excited for Sherry!
100% Five Star recommendation!
If you have never experienced a flavor experience, where you have the knowledge and power of knowing what things do for you with flavor how they benefit your body, and the different ways to utilize them or combine them together. Then you have to have this experience !"

The tasting that you have described to me before,
I loved it so much (the experience). I think I'm a really good cook, with a good sense of taste and I've learned so much from Sherry about combining flavors that I can actually eat on my diet. This was so much fun and I learned so much.
I don't think I could have done (broken down the flavors) this on my own. You really helped me understand flavors.
...And that ROYAL CINNAMON! I want to powder it all over my body!"
