“What if adult ADHD could predict future brain decline?”
A groundbreaking study published in JAMA Network Open found that adults diagnosed with ADHD were nearly 3x more likely to develop dementia later in life — even after accounting for other health and lifestyle factors.

While ADHD has long been viewed as a childhood condition, these findings highlight the lifelong importance of early identification, management, and ongoing neurological support for attention and memory-related disorders.

At Scire Integrative Health Center, we take a proactive approach — addressing brain function, cognitive reserve, and neuroplasticity at every age.

A few years ago, I had the privilege of speaking about Primitive Reflexes with Tara from My Child Will Thrive. I’m looking forward to updating this lecture with new information in the upcoming months.

Dr. Peter Scire has dedicated his academic and clinical career over the past 15 years to working with complex neurological disorders in both adults and children, this podcast looks at primitive reflexes and their impact on brain function.

In the early years of the Brain Balance Mission. I probably lectured once a week in one of my centers, expos, parent groups and continued education for allied health professionals and educators.
The mission to spread Dr Robert Melillo’s work continues to this day.

Understanding the world of immuno-metabolism is the next frontier in patient care. This concept is so critical to helping patients that suffer from chronic conditions.
Over the past 3 years, I spent in numerous hours learning from Drs. Aristo and Elroy Vojdani on this topic.
Patient care at SIHC continues to evolve.
Looking forward to sharing this with the Melillo Method colleagues in 2026.

There are a number of drivers for the development of Alzheimer’s Disease, it has been shown that insulin resistance can absolutely be one of them.

🧠Excess sugar intake can have harmful effects on your brain health.

🍭 One study published found that high levels of sugar intake over time can lead to insulin resistance in the brain, which impairs the ability of brain cells to use glucose for energy, and can eventually lead to cognitive decline.

🔥Another published study found that consuming too much sugar can lead to chronic inflammation, which can damage brain cells and contribute to the development of Alzheimer’s disease.

🔽 In order to look after our Brain health we we should really think about reducing sugary foods and drinks, and the amount of simple carbs in our diets.

🚺 This is also key for women going through perimenopause, as the hormone havoc means we are now at more risk of developing insulin resistance.

Great article on inflammasomes and neuroinflammation.
These are 2 topics I lectured on during the Functional Developmental Behavioral Neuroimmunology course with Dr Robert Melillo.

The Brain’s Role in Tics and OCD
In Episode 11 of The Everything Brain Podcast, and Dr. Peter Scire dive into the neurological roots of tics and repetitive behaviors.

These movements, known as stereotypies, are often linked to a disconnect between the basal ganglia and frontal lobe-key areas responsible for motor control and decision-making.
When these brain circuits become imbalanced, it leads to involuntary, repetitive movements that don’t serve a functional purpose. Dr. Scire shares insights from groundbreaking research on how targeted therapies can address these imbalances and restore proper brain function.
