Show Notes
Ellis and Dr. Robert Melillo explore the neurological roots of stuttering, Tourette’s, OCD, intrusive thoughts, and what it really means to have a “right-brain imbalance.”
In this episode:
- The real reason why some people stutter — and why singing can stop it
- Left vs. right-brain OCD (yes, there’s a difference)
- How concussion, trauma, and poor therapy protocols can trigger regression
- Why Botox can interfere with reading emotions
- Tools that help balance the brain (Brain Driver, red light lenses, vestibular therapy)
Ellis also shares a candid sobriety update (41 days) and how committing to brain-based tools has helped reduce her anxiety, improved her sleep, and changed her mornings for the better.
A brilliant mix of science, vulnerability, and dry humor as always.
