Lumen

Why Lumen?

Lumen is the first handheld device by which you can measure in real time what your metabolism is using for energy – the ratio of fat to carbohydrates.  Insightful information gathered from taking breath measurements before and after different stimuli [nutrition, sleep, exercise but anything – running for the bus or train, delivering a presentation, taking an exam, a cold plunge, a hot tub or sauna!] arms you with information to make better lifestyle choices.  It navigates you to make better decisions and adjustments to improve sleep, manage stress better, eat and exercise for longevity thus improving mental, physical and emotional strength. 

HOW

The lumen device calibrates to your unique carbon dioxide range, and it measures the level of CO2 in your breath – respiratory exchange ratio or quotient, representing this measurement with a score of 1 – 5 with a % ratio of burning fats to carbs or carbs to fats depending on which fuel source you are using more of at any given moment in time.  Your daily wake up measurement then informs the nutrition plan of carbs, fats and protein allocation for your day in alignment with your gender, age, hormonal cycle [if relevant] activity level, planned activities and goals – weight loss, fitness performance or metabolic health.  The process and the plan in time helps you to navigate towards your goals and to improve your metabolic health. 

Background

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 threshold on Indiegogo in weeks, and now Lumen is leading the way in bringing personalized nutrition to the entire world. This has been a game changer for thousands already and will only continue to support people to improve and maintain optimal health.

My Story

During 2020 I suffered a combination of physical and mental health symptoms [thrombophlebitis, DVT, ECG irregularities, acute peri menopausal stress and obesity} which led to a “burn out” episode and chronic fatigue symptoms in October 2020

It was at this point that I invested in a lumen device to try and get my health back on track.  Lumen provided me with the necessary structure to plot a course with small daily decisions based on metabolic feedback as I sought to recover mentally and physically. I also recognised fully the toxic role that regular alcohol consumption was having on my physical, mental and emotional wellbeing and using the tools from Annie Grace’s Live Alcohol Experiment and her book, This Naked Mind, I stopped drinking alcohol.    

Fast forward 7 months and I had lost 50lb, returned to work and was supporting others in the Lumen community with their own health journeys.  By September 2021and having switched to the fitness performance track within Lumen, I had lost a total of 60lb since starting my journey.  I enrolled on Lumen’s metabolic coaching course and was certified as a Lumen metabolic coach during October 2021. I am a lead group expert in the Lumen community with an over 90k membership and am available for one-to-one metabolic coaching for people with or without a lumen device.  I have written guides to help others whether using lumen or simply looking to make improvements.

Biohacking with Lumen

What lumen enables, if you are willing, is a daily map and navigation towards a healthy and flexible metabolism which yields long term health benefits.  Developing metabolic flexibility – the ability to use both fats and carbs efficiently for energy – is key to optimising personal health and longevity.  Our cells need both fuel sources, and the key is helping them to become strong and healthy so that they burn the best fuel for the energy requirements in the moment.  A person who develops high metabolic flexibility is likely to experience improved and sustained:

  • Weight loss
  • Fitness performance
  • Reduced inflammation
  • Enhanced cognitive function
  • Better mood, sleep and resilience
  • Long term health benefits which can help to prevent chronic diseases so that you become a healthier you
