The gut-brain connection has emerged as one of the most promising frontiers in longevity science, and now groundbreaking research reveals how red light therapy can supercharge this critical pathway. Join Sarah Turner, Founder and CEO of CeraThrive, as she illuminates the revolutionary potential of photobiomodulation to optimize both gut health and cognitive function simultaneously. With her unique background spanning clinical neuroscience, nutritional medicine, and quantum biology, Sarah brings cutting-edge insights from her transition from pharmaceutical research to pioneering light-based therapeutics.
This session will explore the fascinating mechanisms by which near-infrared light influences the vagus nerve, intestinal barrier function, and neuroinflammatory pathways that connect our digestive system to brain health. Sarah will share clinical insights from her work developing the FDA-listed CERA System, demonstrating how targeted photobiomodulation protocols can enhance mitochondrial function in both gut epithelial cells and neural tissue. Attendees will discover practical applications for using red light therapy to support digestive health, reduce brain fog, and optimize the bidirectional communication between the enteric and central nervous systems.
Drawing from her postgraduate studies in Clinical Neuroscience and specialized training in Photobiomodulation from the University of Montpellier, Sarah will present evidence-based protocols that biohackers and health enthusiasts can implement immediately. The presentation will cover optimal wavelengths, dosing strategies, and timing considerations for maximizing the synergistic effects of red light on gut-brain health. Real-world case studies and emerging research will illustrate how this approach is revolutionizing our understanding of neuroplasticity and digestive wellness.
This breakthrough session offers attendees a unique opportunity to understand how light-based interventions can become a cornerstone of their longevity protocol. By harnessing the power of photobiomodulation to optimize the gut-brain axis, participants will leave with actionable strategies to enhance cognitive performance, support digestive health, and unlock new dimensions of wellness through the strategic application of therapeutic light.
