And most of us don’t even realize it. In this episode, I sat down with Dr. Robert Melillo, one of the top experts in childhood neurological disorders and the founder of the Brain Balance Achievement Centers. He’s helped thousands of families—kids and adults—with ADHD, autism, learning disabilities, tics, anxiety, and more… and he’s done it all without medication. Dr. Melillo’s theory of Functional Disconnection Syndrome is changing the way we think about the brain. He breaks down how imbalances between the brain’s hemispheres affect everything from coordination to behavior to gut health. And he shares how we can not only identify these imbalances early, but also correct them, at any age. This one goes deep into brain development, movement, retained reflexes, immune health, and what we seem to be getting wrong about genetics and mental health. Whether you're a parent, practitioner, or just trying to understand your own brain better, this conversation will reframe how you see yourself and others. "Movement was the initiation of brains on the planet, and movement is the initiation of brain development in children." ~ Dr. Robert Melillo About Dr. Robert Melillo: Dr. Robert Melillo is a clinician, researcher, author, and one of the world’s leading experts on neurodevelopmental disorders.
