Hi everyone,

This week’s Wine with Wita is one of the most important conversations I’ve ever had on the podcast.

I had the absolute honour of speaking with Dr. Robert Melillo, world-renowned expert in childhood neurological disorders, founder of the Brain Balance Centers, creator of the Melillo Method, and author of the groundbreaking book Disconnected Kids.

With over 1 million followers online and 30+ years of experience, Dr. Melillo has helped change the lives of thousands of families across the world, and now, he’s sharing his wisdom with us.

In this powerful episode, we explore:

✅ What’s really going on in your child’s brain

✅ Why early signs and milestones matter more than you’re told

✅How imbalances in brain development contribute to autism, ADHD, and speech delays

✅And the hope that comes from understanding the root cause, not just managing symptomsWe also talk about the importance of asking why, the need for a true multidisciplinary approach, and what it means to help a child become the optimal version of themselves, whatever that looks like.

This is a conversation for every parent, educator, and health professional who wants more than a label, and believes that real change is possible.
