In this episode, Christian Drapeau interviews Sarah Turner, an expert in red light therapy and founder of Sarah Thrive, a company dedicated to enhancing brain and gut health through non-invasive therapies. Sarah shares the science behind red and near-infrared light therapy, explaining how it works at the cellular level by stimulating mitochondria, which boosts ATP production and supports healing in the body.

The conversation highlights how Sarah’s devices specifically target the brain and gut. She explains that red light therapy can penetrate the skull to reach the brain, where it improves mitochondrial function, boosts energy, and stimulates healing proteins. Sarah emphasizes that this therapy is especially beneficial for conditions such as neurodegeneration, traumatic brain injury (TBI), and concussion, while also enhancing overall brain function.

Sarah and Christian also discuss the importance of treating both the brain and the gut simultaneously, as the two are intricately connected. She shares her experiences working with patients with Parkinson's disease, explaining how light therapy has led to noticeable improvements in mood, cognitive function, and physical movement over the course of three months.

This episode offers an in-depth look at how red light therapy can be a powerful tool for improving brain and gut health, offering hope for those dealing with neurological conditions and those simply looking to optimize their cognitive and physical well-being.
