Hi, I’m Elizabeth Wainwright, and welcome to The Paradigm Pathway. This series is close to my heart because it explores the interconnectedness of mind, body, and spirit, and how the subtle energies that flow through us and our environment impact our lives.
What makes The Paradigm Pathway unique is our in-depth exploration of how energy influences every aspect of our existence. This series is dedicated to uncovering and sharing transformative knowledge that empowers you to live a more balanced and fulfilled life. I've always been fascinated by how our mental states influence our physical health, how intuition and intention can shape our reality, and how innovative energy techniques can help us live fuller lives.
In each episode, we'll delve into these topics to elevate our understanding and find practical applications that can truly enhance our daily existence. We’ll discover diverse energy healing practices, explore the synergistic effects of nutrition incorporating energetics and vibration, and dive into advanced topics like the energy centers of the body. I want us to learn together how awareness and intention can impact our well-being, how connecting with higher energies can be beneficial, and how subtle energies affect our
emotions and physical health.
With a strong foundation in communication and storytelling, my career has always been about understanding and conveying complex ideas in an accessible way. My background in human clinical nutrition, integrative and alternative medicine, and energy techniques deepens my
exploration into these fields. Through The Paradigm Pathway, I aim to provide practical guidance and transformative knowledge. We’ll cover a wide array of topics, empowering each of us to achieve personal growth and realize our full potential. So join me on The Paradigm Pathway.

All month long in December on the Paradigm Pathway, we're spotlighting Cereset Encinitas each week with exclusive interviews featuring co-founders Andrew DiGregorio and Jason Prall. You'll learn about Cereset's transformative approach to brain wellness and how it can help you achieve the wellbeing you deserve. Plus there is an exclusive discount just for our listeners. Stay tuned for more details. Now let's dive into today's episode. I'm Elizabeth Wainwright and welcome to the Paradigm Pathway.
In this first episode, we are focused on a company called Cereset and how its technology can help the body heal chronic conditions. It is a fascinating journey. We've got four episodes with two really great guys, Andrew D. Gregorio and Jason Prall of Cereset and Sinitas based in California. In these four episodes, we unpack quite a bit of material, not only their hero journey,
both of their hero journeys, healing journeys, but also a lot about how the Cereset experience is the history behind Cereset, why it's important and why this technology, although still quite unknown to some, if not many, is what I'm going to term the secret weapon outside of the modalities
that you and I as people can control in our lives. And what those modalities are, are meditation, deep breathing. If we think about relaxation states, meditation, deep breathing, massage, reflexology, visualization, guided imagery, chanting, frequency-based medicine, music, all the things that typically we use to push the body into a rest, digest, relaxed state.
In this first episode, we're going to talk about some high level concepts about how Cereset does more than just brain therapeutics. And there are three main themes. One is what we're going to explore is called deconditioning. And the second is the importance of the gateway of the relaxation based state to so many other systems of the body and overall healing and spiritual potentials. And then the third is
(02:47.766)
just a small discussion about how, when you're looking at different brain-based therapeutics that are out there today, how Cereset fits into that arena of brain therapeutics and which one might be right for you. It's the first entree in these four episodes of a high-level discussion about how therapeutic technologies are out there today that can do
things that might be beyond what we are capable of doing for ourselves. And these become critical because we each have an individual evolution process, stress state, awareness of goals, objectives, our healing journey that we're trying to achieve, or at least aspire to. And I think the exploration
of this subject matter is highly relevant beyond just healing into setting the nervous system up for accessibility of energetic exchange. It's critical actually. And if you are outside of a healing pathway, more of a spiritual pathway, this also becomes extremely relevant just from understanding how brain nervous system reset.
engages and prepares you for accessibility of consciousness, of awareness states, of acceptance or processing of energetic states influences. It's a really great first few discussions, not only of technology and healing potentials, but also of hero journeys and just these guys and their great stories and their experiences that they have to share. So without further ado,
We're going to get into the first episode. We're going to explore some subject matter and thanks for coming along for the ride.
(04:46.606)
joined today by Andrew D. Gregorio and Jason Prall, both co-founders of Cereset. Welcome to the show. Thanks for having us. Yeah, I appreciate Yes. A good first question, I think, for a of people is, what does Cereset mean, actually? Yeah, mean, essentially, it's the cerebrum reset, right? So it's a brain reset. So I think one of the things, maybe I'll backtrack a little bit, because you mentioned it. I kind of brought it up a little bit in my story, which is this idea of...
these medical diagnoses, right? You got a syndrome diagnosis. And this is common for those who aren't aware of some of the medical terminology, it can be actually a little frustrating when you start to reveal what it really is, right? This is often what happens when we get to this, level of the brain is we just get diagnosed with these terms and these syndromes and these, they don't really actually mean anything. They don't tell us where it came from, how to resolve it, what's really going on. And so that was kind of the essence of Cereset was that it's getting too
the root layer of really what's going on is that there's something happening at the neurological level, literally in the tissue that needs to be reset. There's something that's stuck. And so that's really where, where Cereset came from. It's why it has the name. Yeah. I think, I think it's important to jump off this and mention like, you know, why we decided to invest into Cereset. Basically, you know, after it was many years later, after the head injury, had that journey kept going. And then years later, I started experiencing a mystery chronic illness.
And like he said, there's like a, guess one of the terms they used for a portion of what I was experiencing was mast cell activation syndrome, which was a syndrome. it's MCAS. And it just describes what, he was experiencing. Like it's a medical way to describe what he's experiencing. And there's a, and just real quick, the reason for that they do that is because it allows them to do a differential diagnosis and make a recommendation, whether it's medication, whether it's referral out to another specialist. So it allows the medical system.
to classify something so that they can legally do the next thing and they're good. That's why it exists. I call it the ICD-9-CODE syndrome, basically. So, years later, I started experiencing a whole new array of symptoms. Basically, I started having food allergies, multiple chemical sensitivities, sensitivities to the sun. had sensitivities to water.
(07:11.662)
I started to have to reduce my diet down to like two or three foods. I was eating like chicken and rice, turkey and rice. And I lost 25 pounds. I'm pretty small right now. And I would wake up every day with hives all over my feet and my body burning through my skin. There was like a kind of like a, I guess, a hormonal induced depression. I don't know if that's the way I would, I don't know if that's exactly what it was, but it felt like it was like these.
these releases that were happening from these mast cells were causing me to feel depressed. Personality shifts that were occurring again from kind of similar to what I had going on with the head injury back when I had that near-death experience. started to have, like when I say hives, I mean, my body was like bubbling with it. Some people will get hives in certain areas. Like my was covered head to toe and you know, was keeping me up at night. So I wasn't sleeping very well, I losing sleep. And it was, this was like...
every day waking up thinking I was dying because I looked like I was dying and nobody was giving me answers. Like I talked to naturopaths. I talked to Western medicine doctors. can I jump in here too? Please go ahead. know, from an integrative health perspective, you know, I was kind of on the outskirts, kind of assessing what was going on, right. And, and in, in, in my world, how I was trained with a lot of this stuff, this was an immune tolerance issue, right? So in other words, his immune system was not
lost the ability to tell what was harmful and what was okay, right? So a lot of these foods that we eat the immune system has an intelligence that says, okay, this is fine. Like we don't need to react to this or a chemical, right? So his was hyperactive. It was like this hyper vigilant immune system that had lost the ability to tell what was harm and what was good. Now I've taken some classes from some really bright people in this arena. And I know that vitamin A, the pro vitamin A, not beta carotene, vitamin A, vitamin D.
good sleep, right. Exercise, some things with the gut, right. So a good, a diverse microbiome, all of these things help the immune system to discern what's good and bad and, sort of regain immune tolerance. T helper cells, T 17 T one. there's, there's all these things about the immune system. And so I learned the sort of biochemical aspects of a lot of this stuff and how to help people recover some of this stuff. And I gave him some of these suggestions.
(09:36.402)
So some of them, he, sun sun is also have another great one, right? Beyond just the vitamin D, the sun itself. He was getting, he was kind of allergic to the sun. So all these things that I had learned, I was trying to help him with. And while they are helpful, they weren't able to get him where he needed to go. So this is, this was like a prime example of the sort of integrative functional medicine world. If it doesn't take the next step and understand where some of this is coming from, they're going to get caught.
And this is where I got caught so many times in this biochemistry, biology, like billiard ball kind of reality. There's another level deeper, right? And it has to do with the energetics and some of these deeper aspects of the nervous system. were talking before we got started today about the audit audio that's involved with Cereset. It's an, and, as you said, it's a highly passive.
Therapeutic and it kind of catches you off guard when you first try it because you say okay lay down and put these earphones in you're like wait What I don't have to do anything like I'm so used to having to work so hard just to get somewhere And so I always cheat and I have to tell you that when I'm in my sessions because I'm watching the EEG usually Like run I have one eye open because I'm always fascinated
because I have things going on and I'm like, ooh, I wonder if my brain picked that up. Don't do that if you're listening to this. No, that's what to But that's the clinical part, right? But I found it fascinating because the sounds, they're not rhythmic, but they're very specific tones. And so now we're picking up on kind of the feedback loop that Cereset chooses to do in an auditory fashion is at a frequency or Hertz level.
and I believed it's a proprietary software that was developed specifically for this use. And what you're hearing is tones. Can you guys explain what the tones actually mean? let me just say that there's... I don't think the tones really are that impactful in the process because there's different instruments. So there's like, there's all kinds of different tones that we can set. When I went to the service at Costa Mesa, they use piano as the sound.
(11:46.382)
There's guitar one. So the actual type of tone, I guess it's more like the note. It's telling the Like is it a high C or is it a low D? The brain picks up, okay, it's higher, it's lower. That's indicating what's happening. Music for the brain? More or less. And again, it's just a reflection of what's happening. So it's really...
I don't think that that is really about the notes or the tones. he's done, Lee did, I mean, he's done, he loves peer reviewed studies. He loves data. He's a science guy at heart. He's done hundreds of thousands of sessions. I don't know the exact number, but I know it's over a hundred. I think it's over 150,000 sessions of collecting data and utilizing that to fine tune the software and what he's doing.
He even up until recently before he passed, did a he was doing research and collecting data on first responders and using that information to create certain protocols for certain types of people. And there's like there's COVID protocols, right? Post COVID long COVID protocols. There's a new one coming out for stress management. he's using this data to continue to refine the sounds and the software. So
it's always getting better, it still is, and he's got people that now that he's passed the torch to that will continue to use this to refine it. The long COVID protocols were actually very interesting. I've watched some of the testimonials of people who were in long COVID programs for months, maybe even years, and actually did, I think one of the clients did 11 sessions and she actually had a stuttering, a speech impediment problem and it was corrected.
It's pretty wild. Yeah, within 11 sessions. And I think it's worthwhile here because maybe there's a slight gap we want to bridge here, which is that whenever somebody is suffered from COVID, right, for an extended period of time, they had a head injury, maybe they had a mold illness, maybe they had heavy metals, maybe they had a stroke, maybe they had a severe neglect and trauma when they were a child, maybe they just got over a divorce or lost their job, whatever the case is, these instances...
(14:07.628)
And generally it's over the course of a lifetime, it's the conglomeration, but there's something that kind of happens that creates this reality at the nervous system level, this conditioning that gets stuck. it's generally, stuck is maybe not the right word because the brain, the nervous system is always adapting to the reality that it's perceiving. So whenever a reality is being perceived, the system will adapt to that.
for survival mechanisms, right? And it can be adapted so far that it will kind of shut down. This is the parasympathetic shutdown that we might see, but it's always adapting. And so what we hope to see that is that as the thing resolves, that the nervous system comes back into balance, but oftentimes that's not what happens. And so for any single person that's ever walked through our door, there's been an aspect of their brain that is kind of stuck or adapted to
a certain condition that is not rest. You know, the, the, what is it? The, the function on your, your, I don't know, your radio or Apple music, whatever it is where you can just put replay, you know, it's kind of the button where I'll just keep playing the same song over and over again. That's, I don't know, I freeze, you know, how we're talking about freeze or stuck the freeze response. for me, it just feels like it's not frozen. It just keeps replaying. Yeah. And that's just it. And it's, it's, it's, it's caught.
In this, in this loop of, of behavior at the, and this is at the tissue level. So literally it's, it's actually deep within the tissues of the brain. So there's neurology, right? The saying is what fires together wires together. Right? So if something, it's just like when you, when you drive a route to work day in and day out, you don't even need to think about it. It just happens. Right. If you, you play golf, if you play the piano, eventually with enough practice, you can do this stuff, you know, blindfolded. doesn't, it's not hard, but this is.
This is, this is neuroplasticity. This is the idea that the brain is creating new connections based off of the reality that keeps persisting. So when somebody is taken and out of that, that reality, let's say they've healed their COVID on the immune biological level, the nervous system is still caught. And so we need to do a deconditioning of that, that part of the nervous. And this, that's why something like Cereset can actually work on things like long COVID on head traumas and traumatic brain injuries, right? On.
(16:28.81)
on traumas, emotional traumas from years and years ago, right? It has a wide array because this stuff is stuck at the neurological level. that's the important thing to note is that seroset's not curing any of these things. It's working with the brain and the nervous system. When the brain and the nervous system is in balance and we're in a power sympathetic state, which seroset is supporting, all these symptoms can...
finally release or heal. So Cereset's not curing anything. It's actually just working with the brain and the nervous system. And this is why the passive aspect of Cereset is so special in my opinion, is because when we get people in the office and they're into this amazingly comfortable chair, you know how comfortable that chair is, and they got headphones in and they're told to close their eyes and they're in a dark room and it's comfortable and they have a blanket. These are all the cues that the system should need to find balance and relaxation, right? And again, this is where
All healing takes place is when the parasympathetic is in that restful state. Now we can regenerate, we can repair, right? Like everything starts to happen at that level. When we're caught in sympathetic overdrive, even people that are quasi sleeping at night, if their system isn't fully relaxed, then regeneration and repair doesn't happen. This is how these chronic degenerative physical...
Diseases manifest is because we we can't get into that healing response So that's why when we get people in that chair and they're relaxed and we see that their brain is still not relaxed Then I don't care how relaxed they think they are They're not as relaxed as they could be because their brain simply won't let them get to that point because experience has taught them that there's always danger present
This December on the Paradigm Pathway, we're spotlighting Cereset and Sinitas each week with exclusive interviews featuring their co-founders. Each conversation explores how Cereset's unique approach, like their Cereset Wellness Package, helps you restore brain balance, enhance mental clarity, and build emotional resilience. This powerful package includes five brain echo sessions over four weeks, plus personalized brain coaching tailored to your needs.

So we have probably some, I'll call them administrative things to tackle and get your feedback on because I think there are going to be questions about how this technology fits into the world of brain therapeutics. Specifically for people who are trying to make a decision between which one is right for me. So people are looking at transcranial magnetic stimulation or TMS, they're looking at transcranial direct current stimulation or DT.
TDCS, excuse me, or deep brain stimulation. The difference between all of these is transcranials, like you've seen pictures of folks where they've got the magnet on and they're taking a, they usually are doing some kind of TikTok YouTube or something with a big old magnet on their head, typically for long-term depression. I mean, I think it's clinical results are proven potentially and areas of the brain that they're able to find with magnetic stimulation, they're seeing some results with depression. So that's.
using magnetic fields to stimulate nerve cells in the brain, commonly used to treat depression, especially in patients who haven't responded to traditional treatments. TMS involves placing a magnet coil against the brain leading to modulation of neural activity. Well, you have to do a certain number of sessions and it seems pretty, it seems pretty robust and a little, I would be worried about all that magnetic stimulation. That's me personally in one particular area of the brain. That's my own personal viewpoint of it. So.
there's that TDCS or transcranial direct stimulation is a low constant electrical current to the brain through electrodes. So this is more maybe in some ways similar. It's electrodes to different parts of the brain to different hemispheres and locations, but it's inserting a direct stimulation and not receiving and not just listening or picking up on waves as an EEG would. Deep brain stimulation is typically used for people with Parkinson's or
(20:56.886)
injuries or where there's a constant direct electrical stimulus needed to correct a condition of some kind. So in the realm of brain therapeutics and because of the explanation that we've talked about with Cereset up to this point, how do we help people make a decision outside of DBS? What particularly might be right for them and when Cereset is a consideration for them in relation to these other?
opportunities or therapeutics? mean, I'll say from my perspective, I love all kinds of therapeutics. So, you know, there's EMDR, which has it's a fantastic place. There's DNRS that has this fantastic place. There's, there's a lot of these technologies that I think, have show a lot of potential and they can help a lot of people and they have helped a lot of people. So, I think the way to navigate it in my, in, from my perspective at this point, and this is, this is my standpoint before I got involved with Cereset, which is that any time that you
engage with the technology that's going to do something to you, you need to be very cautious. Anytime that technology has the power, the amazing power to heal, it also has the amazing power to harm. If it's the technology that's doing the work, let's say. Does that make sense? So it's it's like a very sharp knife, right? And the better it gets, the more it can actually cause harm if used incorrectly or if used in the wrong.
circumstances. So in those regard, I'm a little bit cautious when it comes to anything messing with my brain directly. The thing with Sarah said, right, which is why, again, we both, were comfortable investing in it is because it doesn't do anything to you. It's just playing notes. The only, the only thing you are getting is these little bing bongs in your ear. That's it. The EEGs are just receiving information from the brain and the notes.
or just that information played back to you. Are the bing bong bings the activity in the different? That's it. That's frequency. It's just picking up It's just literally mirroring the activity. so because of that, all you're doing is hearing notes. It's no different than hearing music. So in that regard, it's just mirroring back the brain, so it's allowing the brain to do the work. So the brain is healing itself. The technology is not doing anything to you. It's just feeding back information. up the environment for the brain.
(23:19.662)
to find itself so it can make natural adjustments. maybe for once, says, I see you, I hear you. It can actually integrate a process itself in a way. And so for somebody, it may not work. somebody with some certain condition that's very significant, you may try Sarasat, five sessions, 10 sessions, we didn't see that. Yeah, I just didn't really notice.
What kind conditions do you think those I it can be anything, to be honest, because the reality is, is that anybody that comes into our clinic, there may be a number of things going on. They may be living in a house full of mold and saying, well, I can't sleep. So they come to our, and we're doing the stuff and they're not seeing results. And it's not because this isn't working, it's because something else in their reality is persisting. It's part of a chain of therapeutics with their place and time. Exactly. And there may be somebody that has pretty significant cognitive decline.
Now they can come in and try Sarasota and it may be helping them. actually have programs that help with that type of thing, but they may be so far down the path that it may not be right. Somebody may have Parkinson's, right? There's all kinds of conditions neurologically based that, that, Sarasota may not be able to get them where they want to go. I can't claim that, it could potentially slow these things. could potentially.
It's going to create balance in people's nervous system. It's going to something for them. It's always going to be supportive to some degree. But if they're not getting the results because they're too far down the line, if they're in an environment that's continually re-injuring them, then things have to change in that sense. But I'm with Jason with his answer about that feeling into it as well. I would say exactly the same thing based on that question of these other.
therapeutics, these other modalities that exist. Like we have a tendency to always do and overdo where we're taking action, especially in the West. not, we don't like to just go into like being or just like relaxing for a moment. Not that we need to action. We need to know something's happening, do something. that's what I love about Sarasa. It's this, it's allowing the natural wisdom, intelligence of the body to do the work and the body's a miracle. It knows way more than we know. Like
(25:28.76)
This universe knows way more than we think we know. just, we barely scratched the surface of understanding the brain, the body, the world itself, right? And if we, want to, I like to come out of the lens and the view that we're typically in, which is this kind of action oriented science reductionistic view of like, we need to do something, make something happen. I find the more passive, the more allowing the body to just be in the right environment to heal. I feel better. I function better. I'm more optimal.
And they get better results. And it's fundamentally based off of a few premises, right? One is that a, your body can heal on its own, given the right conditions. B, that relaxing the brain and finding balance is the key. So if you, I've been in this field long enough to recognize that that is, that's it. That if you can get somebody's body to find relaxation and balance, then, then miracles happen. It's, it's the conditions.
that are preventing us, that are blocking that reality from manifesting, that are creating the struggle. So we don't actually need more of stuff. Generally, we need less. Because there's actually more going on behind the scenes in the subtle world, in the energetic world, in the unconscious, that people aren't perceiving. Not perceiving. They have no idea. And Cereset is somehow tapping into those areas. And that place, it's allowing these places to get... When we say unstuck, it's like...
It's not just the nervous system, it's places that our unconscious is somehow creating some of this reality and it's allowing it to unlock these places in our unconscious and in our subtle bodies and our energetic bodies and our nervous system to release and finally allow reality to manifest the way we actually want it to.

Thanks for listening to episode one with Jason, Andrew and myself, founders of Cereset Encinitas. Our second episode continues with both of them on founding Cereset and how it works. And that's gonna be a great episode. If for any information or more information about Cereset Encinitass, the home of Jason and Andrew, you can go to balancemybrain.com and
schedule an appointment if you're in California, specifically in Southern California. And if you're interested in exploring, there's a link on that page, by the way, about their research and the ability to book. There's also a really a lot of material on the corporate Cereset website. And that's saraset.com spelled C-E-R-E-S-E-T.com. And there's a section called How It Works. And I would encourage people to visit that. It's a...
Both the sites really are a nice overview of the technology and if you want access to some of the research studies all available out there. See you on episode two.
