Dr. Robert Melillo is a clinician, professor, brain researcher, and best-selling author of the book Disconnected Kids. I think you'll find this conversation fascinating. Dr. Melillo challenges the conventional view of ADHD, presenting it not just as a biochemical imbalance, genetic, or underdeveloped prefrontal cortex, but as a developmental imbalance between the two hemispheres of the brain.
During our conversation, Dr. Melillo breaks down the three subtypes of ADHD-inattentive, hyperactive-impulsive, and combined-linking them to different brain regions. We explore how the right hemisphere plays a crucial role in attention, while the left is more associated with hyperactivity and impulsivity.
Our discussion touches on the intricate interplay within brain regions like the basal ganglia and prefrontal cortex, with a nod to the influence of environmental factors and epigenetics. We emphasize the importance of early childhood development and how retained primitive reflexes can impact neurodevelopment. Movement, as Dr. Melillo points out, is vital for brain growth.
As we wrap up, Dr. Melillo highlights the importance of a comprehensive, personalized approach to enhancing brain function in adults with ADHD. By focusing on exercises and sensory activities, we can improve communication between brain hemispheres and address imbalances. This episode is one that might make you go, "HMMMMMM" - and I'm all for that. Enjoy!

I so appreciate this episode! I’ve heard bits of this wisdom from Dr M here through a local health care practitioner but I didn’t absorb the broad concepts. I feel like this presentation helped me assimilate the information a bit better.
I'm so glad to hear this! Thanks for sharing ♥
Thank you so much for this!!!❤ I just went to Amazon and purchased his books! Kristen, you care so much about us.❤
I'm so glad you found it helpful!!! Thanks for letting me know ♥
I appreciate all your hard work and this show AND focused 🥰
Thank you Carmen!!
Two of my family members were assessed by a neurologist similar to this approach. When I questioned him he spoke of symmetry. Since we live too far from his clinic to receive treatment I asked for ideas for “lifestyle activities” which can increase/grow symmetry. He wasn’t quick to share because he wants to promote his clinic but I’m very interested to get Dr. Melillo’s book and see how my family’s experience lines up with his book!
Fascinating! Thanks for sharing you're experience with us.
Excellent!!! Thank You
I'm glad you liked it!
Thank you explained a lot
Good to hear!
I love your tagline so much that I put it on a coffee mug for myself 😊
Awwww that makes me so happy!!
I thought that the right brain / left brain stuff was considered to be a myth?
I had read that also, and I wish I had asked him about that!
Kristen you did a great job interviewing this guy, but I've got to say he gives off major BS vibes.
I appreciate your perspective - I hope I asked good questions so that you and other listeners can decide for yourself what you think!
Hi Kristen, thanks for this interview. How do you feel about this information?
Great question. This is one of those interviews where I am conflicted...I hope I asked the right questions so that the audience can form their own opinions. ♥
