In this episode, Ellis and Dr. Rob dive into the fascinating world of facial asymmetry — something many of us have but rarely notice. From uneven wrinkles to differences in eye size, they explore how these subtle facial imbalances can reveal deeper insights into our brain's development and nervous system. Is your face a reflection of your emotional state? Can a head tilt or drooping mouth corner signal more than just genetics? Your hosts explain how facial asymmetry can be linked to everything from brainstem activity and social engagement to digestive health and immune response.

Through personal stories and examples, they unpack the surprising connections between physical features and behavior patterns. Learn how facial cues can provide clues to your brain's strengths and weaknesses, and how chronic issues like digestive problems or heightened sensitivity might be related to how your brain is regulating your nervous system. Plus, they discuss how emotional traits, like being extra sensitive or intuitive, might also tie back to these fascinating neurological imbalances.

Whether you’ve noticed your own asymmetries or just want to understand the science behind them, this episode will give you tools to better understand your body and mind.
