Sarah Turner, Founder and CEO of Cerathrive, sat down with Anthony Lolli and TereZa Hakobyan-Lolli in the Biohack Yourself documentary to discuss the revolutionary potential of her product in harnessing the power of red light therapy to target the intricate link between the gut and the brain.
The human body operates as a complex system, where every component is interconnected. Recognizing this fundamental principle, Cerathrive takes a unique approach by delivering red light therapy simultaneously to both the brain and the gut. “People are beginning to really understand the interconnectedness of the body and how important it is to think of the body as a system and to treat the body as a system,” Turner emphasized.
Traditionally, red light therapy has been associated with improving brain function, but Cerathrive goes beyond conventional methods. Unlike bulky and cumbersome devices found in spas and gyms, Cerathrive's innovative design utilizes a compact body pad and a headband to precisely target these vital areas of the body. “It's specifically designed to target the gut and the brain together. And the headband it contours, and you can target different parts of the brain,” Turner explained in the Biohack Yourself Documentary.

But what sets Cerathrive apart from other red light therapy devices? Firstly the CERA Headband contains not just the usual 2 wavelengths- but 4 wavelengths- including the longer wavelengths of 940nm and 1070nm aimed at targeting different light receivers. The delivery system is tailored to penetrate the
skull's protective layers and reach the brain effectively. This specialized approach ensures optimal results for enhancing cognitive function, improving sleep, and boosting overall well-
being. Turner mentioned, “When you're trying to target the brain, you need a very specific delivery system.”
“Biohacking is about performance,” Turner said on the Biohack Yourself Documentary. “You need to have a good brain as you age because, you know, that's going to be the most important thing as you age.” This perspective aligns with the principles of longevity and cognitive enhancement, which are crucial in the biohacker community.

Moreover, Cerathrive's portable design makes it accessible for everyday use, whether at home or on the go. Sarah emphasizes the importance of consistency in therapy, highlighting Cerathrive's user-friendly interface and simplicity as key factors in encouraging regular use. “It's small. It's easy. It's portable,” she noted.
“We know a lot of these conditions start in the gut,” Turner recalled in the Biohack Yourself Documentary. “The gut is really like a little brain. A lot of the neurotransmitters are mainly made in the gut.” By addressing the gut-brain connection, Cerathrive offers a holistic solution to a wide range of health issues, from memory loss to mood disorders. This holistic approach resonates with the principles of functional medicine and holistic nutrition.

Turner’s passion for neuroscience and her journey from pharmaceuticals to preventative health underscores the product's commitment to empowering individuals to take control of their well-being. “Ever since I changed my eating habits, that helped a lot,” Turner reflected, highlighting the importance of diet in overall health.
Cerathrive represents a paradigm shift in red light therapy, illuminating the path toward optimized brain and gut health. By combining advanced technology with a deep understanding of the body’s interconnected systems, Cerathrive stands at the forefront of innovative health solutions, making strides in the fields of anti-aging, brain health, and beyond.
