Hands-On With The Sensate Pebble For Vagus Nerve Stimulation

[@matthatson]

Would be great to know if you saw a change in your Heart Rate or Heart Rate Variability during use!

[@HealthHackers]

Yes, I agree, it would have been good to see that. I didn’t have an HRV tracker unfortunately.

[@excel04]

Now we know why a purring cat laying on your chest is so relaxing! This seems like a great device I'd love to try. And it's probably more reliable and portable than hugging my independently minded cat!

[@HealthHackers]

👌👍🤣 Maybe so! Thanks for watching. There’s a HEALTHHACKERS discount on the new Sensate Pebble if you wanted to try one. Details under the video.

[@excel04]

@@HealthHackers thanks for the heads up on the discount. If I order one and find it useful I'll report back. I've got enough health issues to adequately put the Sensate through it's paces! If it works on me, it will work on pretty much anyone. You've got a new sub in me 😊

[@HealthHackers]

Aww thank you for subscribing! I’m starting work on a new video about another type of pebble too. This one is a sleep device. It influences brainwaves apparently. Video coming in a few weeks once I’ve tested it fully👍

[@koukouvania]

no! cats are better!!!

[@agpmjm]

I agree that the lanyard on my early one is poor. In addition I have to hold the thing against my chest to get the most effect. I would also like longer battery life and some sort of stress monitoring from the device itself, rather than being asked to estimate my stress levels in the app. These criticisms aside I experienced immediate positive response once I began to use the thing, and the longer term results from - so far - 2 months of daily use have made an appreciable difference to my `base stress level`. I notice a decreased response to the little annoyances of daily life. Im not exactly Captain stress-boots at the worst of times ! I just find things seem- calmer.

[@HealthHackers]

agpmjm thanks for sharing! Sounds like it’s been fairly useful for you 👍 I’d be keen to see what the clip-on smaller sized version will look like.

[@stefanchmelik2864]

Lanyard, battery life and a host of other upgrades now included in Sensate II. You can order and get £15 off using code HEALTHHACKERS at www.getsensate.com

[@Vizjinst8]

I’m less interested in trying this device after hearing the inventor rattle off a series of senseless comments and mistruths. Helpful interview and overall video, thank you.

[@HealthHackers]

Thanks for watching Viz!

[@TommyRazzle69]

Same. HRV does not equal longevity. Absolute snake oil merchant

[@TheCoops2011]

10 years for the benefits of meditation is the biggest outing of false information I’ve ever heard. However, I do use the Sesnsate 2 every single morning and like the calming aspect to it… the evidence isn’t strong enough for me to advise to others on its benefits.

[@TheCoops2011]

Also, he sounds like a bit of cowboy 🤠…

[@HealthHackers]

Thanks for your feedback Coops. How long have you used the Sensate 2 and do you think you’ll keep using it?

[@catherinehuart6884]

Good concept bad quality control. I’ve had 3 Sensates fail on me. None worked longer than 2 weeks. Now Customer Service is ignoring me.

[@HealthHackers]

Oh no!

[@vspinellijr]

This is a super product. It will really assist you into a relaxing state.

[@tanit7741]

So you have one?

[@angelahoward3642]

So. Gald you are on a peaceful path. Tks for. Info love to you x

[@HealthHackers]

Thanks!

[@Ivuspp]

Eager to purchase one!

[@Corteum]

How'd it go?

[@evemorris1435]

Gemma Evans, what a marvellous find, everyone could do with a pebble. Thank you for explaining this device so clearly. Excellent graphics by the way. How long does the special offer last?

[@HealthHackers]

Eve Morris thanks Eve! The offer stands for the foreseeable future.👍

[@avarah]

Anyone else using it? Curious to hear longer term experiences. Also, discount is for 15 GBP off, not 20 as stated in the video. it's correct in the comments.

[@HealthHackers]

Hi Allan, thanks for watching. The discount in the video was correct at the time of recording for the initial batch of Pebbles. Sensate updated the discount which is reflected in the comments (because we can't change the video after it's posted). Best wishes!

[@matthatson]

Just waiting for my Sensate 2 to arrive (it's in the post) and then I'll be posting a review on the latest version.

[@avarah]

@@matthatson having been waiting since late last year myself..

[@m.b.593]

@@matthatson What do you think about it?

[@monicamirchandani755]

Interesting to know if there are any unwanted EMF effects from using this device? I note it's connected to your phone - I'm assuming this will be via Bluetooth or WiFi and then requires headphones to listen to tracks and a placing of a device so close to your body? If you're a Biohacker surely you'd also be interested to know the effects of this.

[@HealthHackers]

Thanks for watching Monica. I’m not sure I would call myself a biohacker 🤷‍♀️ 😊 but I do have an interest in the EMF potential of devices I review, as you can see in some of my other videos (did you see the Zeez Pebble?). In terms of Sensate, their Indiegogo campaign says it can be used in Airplane mode, and: “The Bluetooth Low Energy radio receiver in your Sensate emits much less energy than your mobile phone. Sensate has been tested against the CE directive and conforms to safe standards. Sensate uses Bluetooth Low Energy, which uses a very small part of the spectrum at extremely low energy to transmit its signals. It only transmits for a small percentage of the time (i.e. there is no constant signal) and your Sensate has been designed to keep transmissions to a minimum.” More here: www.indiegogo.com/projects/sensate-calm-nerves-and-soothe-anxiety/?gclid=EAIaIQobChMIprbBvNqp6gIVXx-tBh2YpwdZEAAYASACEgILq_D_BwE#/faq. Hope this helps!

[@purehealthclinic1761]

Useful video, thank you. Might have been useful if you had said how you felt using it - did it help?!

[@HealthHackers]

Hi Purehealth - thanks for watching! There's a bit in the video where I say the vibrations felt quite nice. It's hard to say what it did to my stress levels because maybe I wasn't stressed enough to begin with!

[@purehealthclinic1761]

@@HealthHackers Ah, that might be why then! Thanks for replying

[@1958pobs]

Would this be suitable for use during pregnancy?

[@HealthHackers]

Hi Lynne. Sorry, can’t help.🤷‍♀️ You’d have to contact Sensate.

[@shaikhfahd616]

What About Wifi Radiation it Emits...?

[@tanit7741]

Ummm the world is WiFi so your body just gone have to adjust

[@melissamadison4655]

I tried to use your discount code but it does not work so I didn't order...thought you should know!

[@HealthHackers]

Thank you Melissa! Yes, my understanding is that they sold out of that model. I may be reviewing the newer model in 2021... 😊

HRV is NOT LIFESPAN. Gross Oversimplification

[@TommyRazzle69]

Exactly. Snake oil salesman. High HRV does not mean long life!

[@kayelambert1255]

I have low blood pressure and my heart shoves extra beats in - been like this for over 50 years. I know sensate can bring down ones bp but simple question - would it lower my bp still further please thankyou!

[@HealthHackers]

Hi Kaye. This would be a good question to contact Sensate about directly. You could try reaching out via the website: www.getsensate.com/pages/contact-us Thanks and good luck😁

[@kayelambert1255]

@@HealthHackers hi, i did email the question 2 months ago but didnt exactly get an answer! I do meditation at times and assume that lowers ones bp a little. So, i have just ordered a sensate pebble hopefully arriving November. Truth be told - whats the worse that could happen? I either live thru it with a smile or not - still with a smile. Im looking forwRd to it and will report back here. Thankyou for responding.

[@HealthHackers]

Kaye Lambert I hope it works for you. Keep in touch! I’m trying out a sleep pebble (from a different company) at the moment and will be releasing a video on it in a few weeks. You might be interested in watching that too.😁

[@kayelambert1255]

@@HealthHackers oooh thankyou - looking forward to viewing that!

[@kayelambert1255]

@@HealthHackers an update! Sadly still not recieved my sensate pebble to date. Six months down the line. I was made awRe they were over subscribed and delivery promised for February. Last update feb 14th said "new updated" pebbles were struggling to work with android app! No updates since. Now the human race is at war with an invisible enemy (covid 19). Everyone must protect themselves as best they can yet a simple blanket update would calm customers minds!

[@lynnmckenna9934]

How DARE you make such a simplistic statement about HRV and lifespan? Unethical on SO many levels. Think of the nocebo effect alone from making this overly simplistic statement. By the way, I own a Sensate Pebble and love it- but I am appalled by the way you are talking about this device.

[@HealthHackers]

Hi Lynn, Which statement? Made by whom?

[@lynnmckenna9934]

Read your own video transcript- you will find the simplistic claims being made starting at 3:41. Made by the inventor of Sensate. Again, I like the product, but this way of talking about it is NOT helpful.

[@HealthHackers]

I value your comments and feedback!
