What Neuronic Protocol Should I Use?

One of the most common questions we hear is:

“How do I know which Neuronic protocol is right for me?”

Whether you're using the Neuronic LIGHT or the Neuradiant 1070, each device comes with four thoughtfully designed pre-set protocols: Peace, Balance, Focus, and Glow.

These protocols all serve one central goal:

To give your brain more energy.

Whether you're looking to optimize mental clarity, support healing, or prevent cognitive fatigue, it’s all about understanding how much near-infrared light (NIRL)—or energy—your system needs.

How Do These Protocols Work?

Near-infrared light works by transferring energy directly to the mitochondria, the powerhouses of your cells. When our systems are under stress due to illness, fatigue, or even just a demanding week, our mitochondria have to work overtime. Photobiomodulation (PBM) gives them the boost they need to regulate and recharge. More is not always better: more time, more intensity, higher pulse rate. It's all about finding the balance that works best for you based on your individual biology and needs.

The Three Pillars of Every Neuronic Protocol

Think of these light protocols like workouts for your brain.

Each pre-set protocol is based on three key elements:

1. Time – How long the session lasts

Think: Length of your workout.

2. Intensity – How often the light is ON during your session

Think: The ratio of effort vs. rest. At 60% intensity, the light is on 60% of the time.

3. Pulse Rate – How fast the light turns on and off (measured in Hz)

Think: Your speed of movement. A pulse rate of 40 Hz = fast, energizing "reps" for your cells.

The Four Pre-Set Protocols

Let’s explore each one to help you decide which suits you best and how to get started.

PEACE

Low dose | 9 minutes | 20% intensity | 10 Hz pulse

Like a gentle walk around the park, PEACE is ideal for easing into photobiomodulation or for calming a stressed nervous system.

• Use it if: You're new to the device, feeling frazzled, or recovering from poor sleep.
• Great for: Resets, stress relief, gentle nervous system support.

‍

BALANCE

Moderate dose | 3 minutes | 70% intensity | 14 Hz pulse

BALANCE delivers a short burst of high energy. You can think of it as a quick 400m sprint for your brain.

• Use it if: You hit an afternoon slump or need a mid-day recharge.
• Great for: Biohackers, professionals, and people on-the-go.

FOCUS

High dose | 6 minutes | 50% intensity | 40 Hz pulse

FOCUS feels like a brisk hike uphill, making it energizing but steady. It’s excellent for those needing mental sharpness and endurance.

• Use it if: You’re mentally drained and want to improve clarity and productivity for your day ahead.
• Great for: Writers, older adults, anyone seeking daily mental optimization.

GLOW

Highest dose | 10 minutes | 100% intensity | No pulse (constant light)

GLOW is like a full-body, no-break workout for your brain. With maximum light and no pulsing, it delivers deep, restorative energy.

• Use it if: You feel chronically fatigued, foggy, or are working through long-term cognitive imbalances.
• Great for: Deep healing, long-term fatigue, or after periods of high stress.

Don’t Forget: Hydration is Key

Before every session, we recommend drinking a glass of water. Just like with exercise, hydration supports your system’s ability to absorb and use the energy efficiently.

Real-Life Scenarios

Still unsure? Here’s how different people might use the protocols:

• Nicole (Peace): A healthy young adult using PEACE morning and night to recover from burnout and poor sleep.
• Isaac (Balance): A busy biohacker using BALANCE to conquer his mid-day energy dips.
• Richard (Focus): An older adult using FOCUS daily while at work to stay mentally sharp.
• Lena (Glow): Someone with chronic fatigue using GLOW twice daily to restore function.

Flexibility is the Secret

You don’t have to stick with just one protocol forever.

Some days, you might need Peace. Others, you may need Focus. Like exercise, it’s okay to mix things up depending on your energy and needs.

If you're just starting, consider building up gradually.

Final Recap

• Near-infrared light supports mitochondrial function, which boosts your brain’s energy systems.
• All protocols aim to regulate and energize your cognitive health.
• Each session is defined by Time, Intensity, and Pulse Rate.
• More is not always better. It's about finding the right balance of time, intensity, and pulse rate that works for you.
• Start slow and adjust based on how your body and brain respond.
• There is no “right” protocol. There’s only what works best for you.
• Because every brain is unique, individual responses may vary!
