INITIAL IMPRESSION
With Lumen's daily insights, you will improve your metabolism by improving metabolic flexibility: your body's ability to shift efficiently between using fats or carbs as a source of energy. Lumen lets you hack your metabolism not based on “others” results- but specifically yours:
Lumen was tested in various validation studies and was scientifically proven to meet the gold standard of metabolism measurement (RER). Lumen in a nutshell works by using a CO2 sensor and flow meter to determine the CO2 concentration in a single breath. This indicates the type of fuel your body is using to produce energy. By starting with Lumen, you can easily track to hack your metabolism. From the time you wake up, blowing into the device, you can immediately see how your metabolism is affected by your sleep, physical activity, and nutrition.
From there you can get personalized meal plans to address your specific results, and of course fuel up for a workout, or for the day!
Plus with Workout Optimization, you can see if you have enough energy before a workout or if you need to fuel up. Breathe afterwards to see the impact on your body.
But what good is info it it doesn’t modify the results? With Lumen, it does! Lumen tracks your metabolism, sleep, nutrition, and fitness data to provide a Lumen Flex Score, which reflects your success and helps sustain results.
Lumen is the one stop shop to learn, improve, and sustain your metabolic health. Now more than ever, this is a vital way to stay healthy for the long haul.

TESTING IT OUT
Testing out the Lumen was really simple to grasp and get started! Right out of the box, the instructions walk you through the app download and pairing with your Lumen device. The device is super lightweight (easy for taking anywhere on the go) and comes with a nice charging dock- even the style and charger are sleek and sexy.
When we first setup the device, you are trained on how to blow into and inhale out of the device. At first we had to really practice because you need to give it your best shot. Our wuss exhales were not cutting it- but once we got the hang of it, it was easy to replicate.
Each morning we started out by breathing into the Lumen to get an instant read of how our bodies were doing right after waking up. The first day we were burning a good amount of f and we had not yet even started the day. Solid. After using the Lumen more through the day, after and before meals, and even after workouts we started to get insights on the app of how we were burning or storing food.
The app at first takes some getting used to in terms of the right “inhale/exhale” pressure so the Lumen reads it right- but once we have that we were off for the races.
When you start Lumen, it tracks your daily scores and numbers on a really simple chart for viewing- The app also starts tracking your steps, sleep times, and food intake so it can deliver a “you” specific summary of what your body is doing- and what you can do to help it! The ability to see real-time data is extremly helpful in planning meals and exercise for the day/week.
As we continued to test the Lumen for the next few weeks, we noticed our ability to fine tune our diet was really on point. The levels of carb and fat burning became more and more dialed in and we were able to hone in on the specific meal plans and workout routine.

BRAND INFO
The story behind Lumen: Lumen began with twin sisters Merav and Michal - two Ironman winners, and PhDs in physiology. As scientists and athletes, they were passionate about developing a way to provide personalized nutrition but knew the only way to measure metabolism was costly and time-consuming.
So they teamed up with entrepreneurs with experience building large companies; Daniel, Dror, and Avi, and after two years of R&D, they developed the first Lumen prototype. Lumen measured metabolism in a single breath, in less than a minute, instead of an hour-long test in a lab!
After four years of hard work and hundreds of beta users, the Lumen team launched on Indiegogo. Lumen broke the $1 million thresholds on IndieGogo in weeks, and now Lumen is leading the way in bringing personalized nutrition to the entire world.
