Very true, I can attribute my own stuttering to this as well. When I am alone, I can stutter, but after eating any kind of sweet, I feel like I can speak fluently :). I can stutter whether my family or others are around; however, if I stick to a specific rhythm, I can maintain a comfortable tempo and timing. In short, when my neurotransmitters are balanced, I can speak fluently. I don’t think I experience much anxiety. I believe this is related to Per Alm’s research. This is consistent with Per Alm’s 2021 article titled *“Stuttering: A Disorder of Energy Supply to Neurons?”*. Alm proposed that stuttering may be related to neurotransmitter imbalances, and that these imbalances could be linked to energy metabolism. In particular, the role of the dopamine system is discussed as the neurological basis for the variability of stuttering across different situations. The article examines data such as reduced power in the beta band in EEG analyses, decreased cerebral blood flow in the frontal lobe, and genetic findings related to energy metabolism. It also highlights the interactions between the metabolic system and the dopamine system.
