Shortly after I began using the CeraThrive unit I saw something shift.

I had been holding one of the headband lights against my throat for ten minutes a night. Before that, I had constant throat discomfort, cramps, and sore muscles that felt like someone squeezing my throat every couple of days. It did not affect swallowing, but it was deeply uncomfortable. After about two weeks of red light, the sensation disappeared. Months later, it has not returned. For me, that alone justifies using the device.

Others who own the same unit have reported it helped with swallowing. My experience has been more about throat comfort, but those reports matter too.

These days, I use the device every morning and evening. In the mornings, I use the body panel on my abdomen. In the evenings, I move the same panel across my chest because I want to retain movement and flexibility there for as long as possible.

The headband I use in the mornings targets the forehead, then in the evening it sits across the top of my head as I repurpose the light that normally sits on the back of the skull and hold it against my throat.

Morning sessions are easy. I take my supplements and vitamins for the day while wearing the devices and can move freely while using it. Evenings are slower. It is a good moment to unwind. Ten quiet minutes listening to a podcast before bed has become part of my nightly rhythm.

I have been using the CERA System for a few months on the advice of a friend, I was a bit skeptical as I didn't really think light could help me that much - but I was wrong. After a few weeks using the system I could feel my energy increasing, and the low mood I had been suffering with, is now lifted. An additional benefit is that the bloating I was getting after meals is also gone - this is for sure due to the body panel as if I don't use for a period of time it comes back. I am now so convinced I have invested in a system for my son, and recommended to my friend who is going through menopause.

CeraThrive has been a great addition for our 6-year-old son with speech delays. Using Focus in the morning and Balance at night, we’ve seen him calmer, more attentive, and more engaged in therapy. The device is safe, easy to use, and backed by science.

Special thanks to Kristal Kellock for her outstanding support and guidance. We truly recommend CeraThrive to any family looking for safe, effective tools to help their child thrive.
