  • Sharik Peck's Journey to Healing with Rezzimax
    Lara welcomes Sharik Peck, the founder of Rezzimax, to discuss the innovative PainTuner Pro device and its impact on healing behavioural and learning symptoms in children with autism, ADHD, and other neurodevelopmental disorders. Sharik shares his personal journey through chronic pain and his extensive research into resonance and its effects on the human nervous system. He explains how the Rezzimax device utilizes specific vibrational frequencies to promote emotional and physical regulation, enhance communication, and improve overall well-being. KEY TAKEAWAYS Resonance and Vibration: Resonance is described as a pure form of vibration that can positively influence the brain and nervous system. Personal Journey and Research: The development of the Rezzimax device stemmed from personal experiences with chronic pain and a desire to find natural solutions. Clinical Trials and Efficacy: The Rezzimax has undergone clinical trials demonstrating significant reductions in pain for conditions like chronic headaches and dysmenorrhea. BEST MOMENTS "Resonance is a beautiful form of energy... a pure form of vibration." - Sharik Peck "We taught their nervous system a song related to pain relief." - Sharik Peck "One of the biggest panics that we can imagine is from not knowing exactly or being aware completely of how to make everything work right." - Sharik Peck GUEST BIOS Sharik and his wife had lived with chronic neck problems and other health issues. It seemed no matter what we did, nothing helped. Sharik (a licensed physical therapist and counselor) searched for natural ways to heal the body. He began doing more research into various therapies and just couldn't find the results he was seeking.His research led to a study of IASTM, Gua Sha, acupressure, tapping, and vibration and their impact on the body and mind. One night, Sharik awoke with a distinct impression that vibration can be used to aid in healing the human nervous system.He then threw himself into searching for the perfect tool that would target the areas of chronic pain and muscles that hold on to stress and tension. Sharik simply could not find the right tool to help people in the way that he knew they could be helped.He could not find the right tool, so Sharik decided to create it. Soon, feedback came pouring in from people suffering from conditions like TMJ, stress, anxiety, depression, ADHD, and more. Using the device for just a few minutes a day was helping to drastically reduce chronic pain for many people. We knew that if we could perfect the Tuner, we could help so many more individuals learn to live our motto: "Tune Out Pain. Tune Into Life." After 9 years of trials and error, we have finally been able to perfect the device HOST BIO Lara Barnes a successful woman in tech found herself managing behavioural, learning and speech difficulties with her son, she learn functional neurology and how to change the brain to correct his symptoms and build his left brain.

  • A Case Study of Recovery and Growth in a Child with Autism
    Lara is joined by Vicky, a naturopathic nutritionist specializing in neurodevelopmental disorders, shares an inspiring case study of a child named Warner who was once diagnosed with severe non-verbal autism. Over three years of dedicated work, Vicky and Warner's mother implemented personalized dietary changes and holistic therapies, leading to remarkable improvements in Warner's behaviour and cognitive abilities. The discussion emphasizes the importance of understanding the underlying health issues that can contribute to severe symptoms often misattributed to autism, such as inflammation and histamine intolerance. Vicky highlights the significance of individualized approaches to treatment, the role of hydration, and the impact of foundational health practices. The episode serves as a beacon of hope for parents navigating similar challenges, showcasing that healing and functional development are possible through commitment and tailored interventions. KEY TAKEWAYS Healing Journey: The process of healing behavioural and learning symptoms in children with neurodevelopmental disorders is a long-term journey that requires patience and understanding. Dietary Considerations: A personalized approach to diet is crucial for children with autism and ADHD. Common dietary recommendations, such as a paleo diet, may not be suitable for all children, especially those with specific intolerances like histamine or salicylates. Importance of Hydration: Many children with neurodevelopmental disorders are often dehydrated, which can exacerbate symptoms. Underlying Health Issues: Behavioural symptoms may be linked to underlying health issues, such as infections (e.g., strep) or digestive problems. BEST MOMENTS That isn't autism. That is severe imbalance in the body." - Vicky "If you look at most recipes that are paleo, they're using like tons of almond flour, all the berries, all the dark chocolate and greens in abundance." - Vicky "When a child comes in, they're put on this generic sort of paleo diet. But you know, for a lot of autistic and ADHD kids, it's really harmful." - Vicky "If you can't absorb fat, basically, all the antioxidants are fat-soluble vitamins." - Vicky HOST BIO Lara Barnes a successful woman in tech found herself managing behavioural, learning and speech difficulties with her son, she learn functional neurology and how to change the brain to correct his symptoms and build his left brain.

Sri shares their journey over the past three years, detailing the initial confusion and lack of support following Guri's diagnosis, the exploration of various therapies, and the significant changes they began to see after implementing the Melillo Method. The discussion highlights the importance of a holistic approach, including nutrition and understanding the gut-brain connection, as well as the emotional and cognitive developments Guri has experienced. Sri emphasizes the need for a supportive community and a clear roadmap for parents of neurodivergent children, showcasing the hope and progress that can emerge from commitment and persistence in their healing journey. KEY TAKEAWAYS Importance of Early Intervention: The journey began with a diagnosis of autism, highlighting the need for early intervention and support. The initial lack of guidance left the family feeling lost, emphasizing the importance of having a roadmap for parents navigating similar challenges. Holistic Approach to Healing: A combination of therapies, including nutrition, speech therapy, and the Melillo Method, was essential in addressing Guri's needs. The focus on gut health and nutrition played a significant role in improving her overall well-being and brain function. Significant Behavioural Changes: Within weeks of starting the new approach, noticeable changes in Guri's confidence, communication, and social skills emerged. These included her ability to follow instructions, engage in imaginative play, and express her emotions more clearly. The Role of Parental Commitment: The dedication and commitment of the parents were crucial in Guri's progress. Consistent effort in implementing therapies and dietary changes led to significant improvements, reinforcing the idea that persistence is key in the healing process. BEST MOMENTS "We were just given this pamphlet and a lanyard by the GP saying that your daughter is on the spectrum. We were just left on our own." - Sri "It just felt amazing to see her almost develop a personality." - Sri "You need a village and some more. And you need people who believe in your child." - Sri "The brain is such a neuroplasticity you can mold and measure." - Lara HOST BIO Lara Barnes a successful woman in tech found herself managing behavioural, learning and speech difficulties with her son, she learn functional neurology and how to change the brain to correct his symptoms and build his left brain.

  • Dr. Robert Melillo on the Melillo Method for Neurodevelopmental Healing
    In this episode of the Brain Development Podcast, Lara welcomes Dr. Robert Melillo, a renowned clinician, professor, and brain researcher, to discuss the groundbreaking Melillo Method for addressing behavioural and learning challenges in children with autism, ADHD, dyslexia, and other neurodevelopmental disorders. The conversation delves into the importance of understanding brain development from the ground up, emphasizing the critical role of developmental milestones and the integration of primitive reflexes. Dr. Melillo shares insights on how early experiences and environmental factors can influence brain growth and function, as well as the significance of diet and movement in a child's development. KEY TAKEAWAYS Importance of Early Development: The first few years of a child's life are critical for brain development, with significant growth occurring outside the womb. Role of Primitive Reflexes: Retained primitive reflexes can hinder a child's development and contribute to various symptoms, including speech delays and behavioural issues. Connection Between Brain and Body: The development of the brain is closely linked to the body's systems, including the immune and autonomic systems. Impact of Nutrition: Diet plays a crucial role in a child's development. Poor nutrition can exacerbate inflammation and affect brain function. BEST MOMENTS "It is absolutely fundamentally to do with the brain and treating the root causes." - Lara "The human brain is unique... and especially unique in how it grows." - Dr. Robert Melillo "Any deviation from optimal development has an impact on our brain." - Dr. Robert Melillo "If a child has a problem with mold or fungus... it signifies that their brain isn't developing." - Dr. Robert Melillo GUEST BIO Dr. Robert Melillo has been helping children overcome learning disabilities for over 30 years. His areas of expertise include: autism spectrum disorders, PDD/NOS, ADD/ADHD, OCD, dyslexia, Asperger’s, Tourette’s, bipolar disorder, and other mental, attention, behavioural and learning disorders. He is also an expert in diet, nutrition and neuroimmune disorders in children and adults. As a clinician for 30 years, a university professor, brain researcher, best selling author, radio and TV host, his cutting-edge research and success with over a thousand children in his private program are what led to the creation of Brain Balance Achievement Centres. Dr. Melillo has a private practice now that helps adults and children with various learning disabilities. He is focused on addressing the primary issue in most learning disabilities and behavioral disorders which is known as a functional disconnection. Since he introduced this concept, functional disconnection has become one of the leading theories in the world related to Autism, ADHD, Dyslexia and more. HOST BIO Lara Barnes a successful woman in tech found herself managing behavioural, learning and speech difficulties with her son, she learn functional neurology and how to change the brain to correct his symptoms and build his left brain.
