In this episode, Matthew Head interviews Dr. Robert Melillo, a renowned specialist in childhood neurological disorders, about how understanding neuroanatomy can reshape dyslexia treatment. Dr. Melillo, creator of the ‘Melillo Method,’ has developed a holistic approach to address brain imbalances behind learning and behavioral disorders, including dyslexia, autism, and ADHD. He explains “functional disconnection,” a leading theory for understanding these conditions, and how his method combines brain exercises, nutrition, and lifestyle changes to help patients of all ages achieve brain and body balance. Dr. Melillo’s work, inspired by his children’s struggles with learning disabilities, aims to minimize dyslexia’s challenges while enhancing its strengths. This episode offers fresh insights into navigating dyslexia and explores Dr. Melillo’s research and bestselling books, which provide valuable resources for parents and educators.

Frustrated by the traditional education system labeling students as ‘lazy’ or ‘naughty,’ Lou believed there was more to their struggles. After trying various teaching methods, Lou discovered Neuro Linguistic Programming (NLP) and saw its potential to transform learning for dyslexic students. Deeply inspired, she trained in NLP and integrated it into her teaching, witnessing remarkable results. Eventually, Lou left full-time teaching to focus solely on NLP.
