Speaker 1 (00:00):
There are times in the world and life when a
discovery changes how we dothings.
Hi, I'm Shelley Schoenfeld.
Join me on this journey ofdiscovery as we unfold a
whole-person health deliveryscience for people in need.
Welcome to Human ResilienceChanging the Way Healthcare is
Delivered.
In this episode we'll hear fromAD Ross, resident expert on

Ad will share the sciencebehind binaural beats, with a
special emphasis on 432 hertz, afrequency that creates
intervals and tones that haveharmonious effects on the body
and mind of human beings.
This hot take features examplesof different beats and their
known benefits to the body, bothphysical and emotional.

(00:44):
Listen and enjoy.

Speaker 2 (00:46):
Hi, this is AD Ross from Gumo Health.
Welcome to this presentation onbinaural beats and the science
of 432 Hz.
Binaural beats are an auditoryillusion created when two tones
of slightly differentfrequencies are played in each
ear.
Your brain perceives a thirdtone at the frequency difference
between the two tones.

(01:06):
For example, if a 440 Hz toneis played in your right ear and
a 430 Hz tone in your left, yourbrain will perceive a 10 Hz
beat.
This phenomenon influencesbrain activity, promoting
various mental states.
The science between binauralbeats suggests that specific
frequencies can synchronizebrainwaves.

(01:28):
I will include some exampleshere in this presentation.
Please note these examples workbest with headphones.
Beats between 1 to 4 Hz areassociated with deep sleep delta
state, while 4 to 8 Hz thetastate is linked to meditation

(02:03):
and creativity.
As the frequency increases,beats in the 8 to 14 Hz range

(02:36):
alpha state can help withconcentration and problem
solving.
By listening to thesefrequencies, some individuals
may experience benefits likereduced anxiety, enhanced focus
and improved sleep.
Now let's explore 432 Hz, whichhas gained a dedicated
following in music and soundtherapy.
Often referred to as thenatural or cosmic frequency, 432
Hz is said to align with thenatural resonance of the Earth

(02:58):
and the human body.
Proponents like myself arguethat music tuned to 432 Hz
resonates more harmoniously withour biology and with Earth's
Schumann resonance, around 7.83Hz.
Listening to music at thisfrequency is believed to have a

(03:27):
calming, mood-enhancing and evenhealing effect.
From a scientific standpoint,research on the effects of 432
Hz is consistently emerging.
A pilot study published onPubMed study number 31031095,
showed promising results.
In this study, participants wholistened to 432 hertz music

(03:49):
exhibited lower heart rates andreported feeling more relaxed
compared to those who listenedto music at 440 hertz.
This suggests that 432 hertzmay indeed influence
physiological and emotionalstates.
In conclusion, both binauralbeats and 432Hz tuning represent
exciting intersections of soundand science, offering new ways

(04:11):
to explore mental and well-being.
Whether for relaxation, focusor healing, these auditory tools
continue to intrigueresearchers and listeners alike.
Thank you for listening to thispresentation about binaural
beats and the science of 432hertz.
I will leave you now with apreview of a composition I
composed called Well-Being.

(04:32):
It's a 1 hertz delta, so do notlisten to it while you are
driving, as it may induce sleep.
Enjoy.
