The Gut Stuck Struggler: Your Reset Ritual for Deep Gut Restoration

If your quiz result came back as “The Gut Stuck Struggler”, your body is sending a clear message: your gut needs a reset.

You may be feeling sluggish, heavy after meals, or stuck in cycles of bloating, discomfort, and unpredictable digestion. Your energy is not as its peak which effects your mood and might contribute to you feeling off. It could even be that no matter how clean you eat, something just feels imbalanced.

Your gut isn’t just about digestion, it’s the foundation of your entire wellbeing. This is because your gut has microorganisms that are responsible for digestion, assimilation of nutrients, clearing out toxins and preforming a number of regulatory functions. And when it’s out of sync, it affects everything from energy and mood to sleep and immunity.

The good news? You can restore your gut, and we’re here to show you how.

Signs You're a Gut Stuck Struggler

You might be experiencing:

• Bloating, gas, or abdominal discomfort
• Heavy or sluggish digestion
• Irregular bowel movements
• Low energy or post-meal crashes
• Brain fog or mood swings
• Skin issues, food sensitivities, or general inflammation

If this sounds familiar, it’s not just your gut, it’s your gut-brain axis that’s under stress. The gut is responsible for producing up to 90% of the neurotransmistters in our brain. Therefore, the way we think is directly associated with the way our gut preforms through the gut-brain axis. 

Why Your Gut-Brain Axis Matters

Your gut and brain are in constant communication via the vagus nerve. When the gut is inflamed, sluggish, or imbalanced, it sends distress signals to your brain, leading to symptoms like fatigue, anxiety, and foggy thinking.

This bidirectional system is known as the gut-brain axis. If it's sluggish, you feel lethargic, mentally and physically.

Why Gut Health Is the Foundation of Wellness

Your gut does far more than digest food, it’s a central hub for immunity, mental health, and inflammation regulation. According to a 2003 study published in The Lancet, disruptions in gut function have been linked to the onset and persistence of inflammatory diseases, reinforcing the gut’s role as a key player in chronic health conditions.

Meanwhile, emerging research continues to deepen our understanding: a 2016 study in EBioMedicine highlights how changes in gut microbiota are directly connected to mental health outcomes, including depression and anxiety, via the gut-brain axis. Simply put, a healthy gut is not just about digestion, it’s essential to how you think, feel, and function.

The CERA System: Your Gut Reset Tool

The CERA System is the first FDA-listed red light therapy device designed specifically to support the gut-brain axis. It combines two devices:

• CERA Headset – Supports vagus nerve activity and nervous system regulation
• CERA Gut Pad – Targets gut inflammation, cellular repair, and microbiome support

Together, they activate the body's innate healing capacity using targeted red light with pulsed and continuous wave programs designed to restore communication between your gut and brain.
