Chronic stress doesn't just weigh on your mind—it disrupts your body too. Groundbreaking research reveals a revolutionary non-invasive therapy called photobiomodulation (PBM), which uses targeted light to heal the brain-gut connection. This therapy restores cognitive functions, combats neuroinflammation, and even rebalances your gut microbiome. Discover how scientists used PBM to reverse stress-induced memory loss and emotional changes in mice, hinting at a future where light therapy could transform mental health treatment. Tune in to learn why your gut and brain might just need a little glow to thrive!
