Neuro-optometry
Dr. Bryce Appelbaum
Functional medicine for vision. Known for the position that eyesight is a symptom, vision is the problem, and vision is a direct reflection of brain function.

Two children set out to save their mother’s eyes. Instead, they discovered they were the ones who needed the help most.

The film
They had reached into a beehive they did not know was there.
Both were diagnosed with Irlen Syndrome. Then airway issues. Mild sleep apnea. A leg length difference. Scoliosis.
What they found was that none of it was separate. Their path led them into territory almost nobody has mapped, where the eyes, the brain, the skull, the airway and the nervous system are one system, and a problem in any of them shows up in all of them.
So they went looking, and found ten worlds that had never spoken to each other. Every one of those worlds had a piece of the answer. None of them had all of it. To reverse what these children are living with, all ten have to be connected.
WYNX puts them in the same room for the first time.
It began as a fight for their mother’s eyes. It became a fight for their own health.
The map
Ten worlds that have never spoken to each other.
01
Neuro-optometry
Eyesight is the symptom. Vision is the problem.
02
Primitive reflexes
What the nervous system never let go of.
03
SOT and craniosacral
The bones of the skull and the spine that carries them.
04
Airway dentistry
Craniofacial asymmetry sets the airway, and the airway sets the rest.
05
Myofunctional therapy
The tongue is the best orthodontist in the world.
06
Functional neurology
Rewiring what was never wired correctly.
07
Neuropsychology
Naming what is actually happening, not the label.
08
Occupational therapy
Sensory integration and the sequencing of development.
09
Speech pathology
How the airway becomes a voice.
10
Movement
Balance, coordination and the body’s midline.
Every one of those worlds had a piece of the answer. None of them had all of it.
The studio
The largest independent health-focused production company in the world.

The catalogue
Biohack Yourself, the five-part series that named a movement, premiered to 800 guests at what the industry called the Oscars of Longevity. sHEALed, the four-part female longevity series, premiered to a sold-out house at Cineum Cannes. Bye Ol’ Dentistry, eighteen months in production across three countries. The New Woo, now shooting.
The filmmakers
WYNX is directed and produced by Love and Legend Lolli, who have been in the room on every Lolli Brands documentary since they were five years old, have interviewed close to one hundred of the field’s leading experts, and now speak from the main stage at the conferences where this work is argued about.
Awards prove a film was good once. Carriage proves it is still good.
Our films are already carried on 36 platforms, in 15 countries on four continents. Every one of those platforms reviews its catalogue and drops what stops earning. Years on, our titles are still listed.

Why our films say what they say
We have never sold a film. We never will.
There are no outside investors and no capital raise behind any Lolli Brands documentary. No third party can shelve a title, bury it, cut it or take it down. The film gets made, it gets released, and it stays on our own network permanently. That is the whole reason our experts say what they actually believe on camera.
- Your words are your words. We do not script you. We capture what you teach.
- Your assets are yours. Full licensing rights to your interview and every deliverable, in perpetuity.
- Your film does not disappear. A permanent record on the network, findable in twenty years.
Attached
The practitioners already treating these children on camera.
Airway and craniofacial
Dr. Timothy C. Adams
Forty years in practice. Ties heart rate variability directly to tongue posture and the vagus nerve, and treats craniofacial asymmetry as the root the rest sits on.
SOT and craniosacral
Dr. Leo Hart
Sacro occipital technique and functional neurology, focused on the nervous system rather than the skeleton, and on children before the pattern is set.
More of the ten worlds are being cast now. This is the invitation to hold one of them.
What participation looks like
One day on our set. Assets you use for the rest of your career.
The shoot
We build the set where your field already gathers, taking over a location beside the conference you are speaking at, so you finish your keynote and walk straight into your interview. Three camera angles. A thirty person crew. Hair and makeup. A set that costs us $70,000 a day to run.
Your commitment is roughly one hour on camera.
What you walk away with
- Guaranteed inclusion in the finished documentary
- Your full long form interview, edited, licensed to you in perpetuity and streamed on Health News Network
- Ten short form cuts built for social, released in the film’s promotional campaign alongside every other expert
- Behind the scenes film, B roll and a full photography gallery
- Every file delivered to you to use, market and commercially exploit forever
We front load all of it. Assembling the same package from separate vendors costs substantially more and takes substantially longer.
The invitation
Two children went looking for the people who hold the pieces.
We are giving you the opportunity to be one of the ten, in the film that finally puts these worlds in the same room, in front of the audience that has been waiting for somebody to connect them.
Next step: a Zoom to see if your work fits the film.
