From day-to-day challenges like work, traffic, and family to life-altering experiences such as losing a job, relationship, or loved one, the circumstances of life can take a toll on both your body and mind.
Scott and Carol Krippel, busy parents of six children, understand the weight of such overwhelming demands. After seeing two close friends experience the life-changing impact of Cereset, in 2022 the Krippels opened Cereset Hill Country, a center for brain wellness right here in Dripping Springs that offers an innovative, all-natural way to break the stress cycle and help individuals, families, and entire communities.
“We believe strongly that Cereset is a tool to help the brain of any client reach its optimal potential,” the Krippels share. “With a healthy brain, our clients experience better sleep, reduced anxiety, sharper focus. All of these can contribute to healthier relationships.”
The brain is central to how you experience the world—it is responsible for regulating and processing everything from breathing and digestion to emotions, memories, decision-making, spirituality, and personal connections. But stress can throw off your brain’s equilibrium, which then disrupts other aspects of your health and well-being.
The brain entrusts this balance to the autonomic nervous system (ANS), composed of two parts or “sides.” These two sides tend to function like a see-saw. Under stress, the brain can tend toward a “fight or flight” response (sympathetic) or a “freeze” response (parasympathetic). Both responses assist the brain in doing its job to protect you from dangerous or overwhelming situations; after all, it makes sense to run from a threat or withdraw after heartbreak.
The problem occurs when traumatic experiences, accidents, major life changes, or simply the day-to-day grind cause your brain to get stuck on one side or the other, compromising brain function and preventing you from operating at your full potential. “The balance is delicate and critical to our well-being,” the Krippels explain.
This is where the Cereset wellness experience can help. “Stress affects us all,” says Scott. “But when your brain is balanced, it helps you to break the cycle—not stay in that ‘triggered space’—and gives you the opportunity to get better.”
Cereset works by detecting your brain frequencies and using brain-initiated imaging to help the ANS reset. During a Cereset session, brain frequency sensors are placed on your head to record your brain activity. Then, your brain echoes a reflection of its own activity via a series of musical tones. Through this process, your brain recognizes that it is out of alignment, corrects itself, and restores a more balanced state.
Amazingly, your brain does all this work itself—without utilizing medication or outside intervention—while you rest quietly. “The brain is seeking to be balanced,” Scott and Carol explain. “Cereset simply equips the brain to return to balance.”
The brain’s self-correction can help relieve a myriad of troubling symptoms, including insomnia, anxiety, irritability, fatigue, lack of focus, depression, and more. Among others, Cereset sessions can greatly benefit those living with learning disorders, experiencing post-traumatic stress, or recovering from concussions, surgery, chemotherapy, or even long Covid.
Through Cereset, Carol first experienced more restful sleep, which led to a more balanced, peaceful state of mind. “It’s given me more energy and joy,” she shares. “When you’re feeling balanced and less stressed, you’re better able to enjoy your family. When parents are in a better place, every family member is in a better place.”
Carol extrapolates, noting that healthier minds and higher levels of well-being can benefit the whole community: Whether we are teachers, students, first responders, business owners, or civil servants, she says, “we’re all better people going out into the world and influencing others for the good.”
To widen this circle of influence and serve as many people as possible, a nonprofit foundation was recently established to help those who serve—namely veterans, active military, first responders, and civil servants—to experience Cereset. If you are interested in donating to bring relief to those who serve our community, please contact Scott and Carol to learn more. “We want to help those who help us,” says Carol.
