what's up guys Lew here back with another video today I got a weird one and I'm a little bit nervous to be honest inside here is something called pavlok it's a piece of tech this is what I know like what I know is actually pretty vague it's a piece of tech that helps you break bad habits gotta love those the case study on their site is about someone quitting smoking but there's also another guy I think it's the founder of the company who can use this tech to quit eating tortilla chips what does it do it sends a shock to your body every time you do the bad habit like a real shock you wear it on your red boot we are what we repeatedly do excellence at end is not an act but a habit Aristotle charge pavlok place it on your wrist wear throughout the day pressing firmly on the lightning bolt will release pavlok stimulus pair the stimulus with your bad habit or craving so in the case enter tortilla chips you shock yourself enough times every time you eat one and you start to think of the shock when you see tortilla chips and you don't even want to let them in your life anymore that's the idea here all right reduce cravings pizza ice cream love pizza donuts you see the donut you want the donut zap cuz you gotta press a button you got to do the shop so you gotta be honest with yourself still here's the bracelet lightning bolt on the front is kind of like a watch this I guess is the unit oh man I can feel the pain already it's like a metal brick and a little microUSB cable I guess charges this guy up here I mean how much of a shock can it be they're selling it to you oh man it's not gonna be fun so let's say okay alright I'm doing the habit I'm smoking the cigarette or I'm eating the chip or my ice cream doughnuts I'm not waking up on time I'm a nightmare I'm a disaster of a human being and then I just press this when I skip that who should I do it but press down with nothing you must need it need to be charged right make those creepy red lights hey does creepy so I'm going to go ahead and search for the app real quick while it's charging lock essentially what you're doing is you are kind of hacking your mind in a sense but you are let's not get it twisted you're wearing the human equivalent of a dog shock collar beep vibrates app you can adjust the power of these things here let's see if I get something positive or negative this just something about getting shocked you know no fun why do the tap it aah tap to connect pair okay so so what can I do as a pretty quick oh damn yeah it's not a good feeling why am I being such a wimp here you again ah that would train me I'm feeling trained already how do you wanna man Hedges crazy that's a 50% that's 50% Oh hundred percent what about my ticker oh let me go up slowly I'll go to 70 and then I'll go to 100 mm oh it's not a little buzz it's a hmm let's go to 100 that shock is no joke the problem is you still need some self-control you need to be in charge enough to say when you get the craving hit the button what is this tapping thing press firmly on the Lightning Bowl I am but I could see like if you truly wanted to get committed to attach your craving to that shock and you got the willpower to do it you might be able to rewire yourself give the remote to your spouse connected on bluetooth around the house you pick up that cigarette whoa
