The Energy Code Optimizing Health & Longevity By Targeting the Gut-Brain Axis via CERA w/ Sarah Turner
Hippocrates himself said that 'all disease begins in the gut' and today's guest, Sarah Turner, is taking that to the next level by optimizing the health of the gut-brain axis via photobiomodulation. Sarah has been working tirelessly the last couple of years to produce the first product of its kind, CERA, which is specifically engineered to emit particular frequencies of red and near-infrared light to both the gut and cranium to create a powerful effect of healing, wellness and optimization.
Along with learning about Sarah and her journey to becoming the CEO and Co-Founder of CeraThrive, we engage in some stimulating, "geeking out" of numerous topics surrounding red light therapy, including the importance standardization in the photobiomodulation research and the industry as a whole and the importance and nuances of third party testing. Sarah also shares her thoughts on some potential synergistic supplements that may have a beneficial interaction with light and her excitement about combining methylene blue with red light therapy.
Sarah Turner has a postgraduate degree in Clinical Neuroscience, holds BSc degrees in Psychological Sciences and Nutritional Medicine and is currently pursuing a diploma in Photobiomodulation at the University of Montpellier in France. During the initial decade of her career, Sarah worked as a research scientist in the pharmaceutical industry. Today, Sarah's primary focus lies in photobiomodulation, which involves utilizing specific light wavelengths and pulsed frequencies to enhance optimal functioning, with a specific emphasis on brain-related issues. As the Co-Founder and CEO of CeraThrive, she spearheads the production of a red light therapy system that specifically targets the gut-brain connection.
This episode is a classic conversation between two red light therapy nerds that have a passion for learning and improving the space for the better and, ultimately, helping people improve their health via light.
