![]() ![]() For this review, I chose the healthy weight loss track. The tracks available are Metabolic Health (maintaining weight but improving metabolic health), Healthy Weight Loss, and Fitness Performance. The track is what your goal is with using Lumen. When you sign up for Lumen, you will create a profile with information like your height, weight, age, and track. The Lumen app is where you’ll also receive your Flex Score (more on this later). You can connect to apps like the Apple Health App for tracking your sleep and exercise, which is very convenient. The Lumen app is also where you get your personalized nutrition plan, and log important factors like your food and sleep. This is what tells you if you’re burning primarily fat, carbs, or both when you breathe into the device. ![]() The app is where you’ll get your Lumen level readings. Wherever my phone goes the Lumen goes, nowadays. For this review, some of our team members received a Lumen each to use, and this review reflects all of our experiences using it. Our team consists of certified sports nutritionists, such as myself, as well as health enthusiasts who value nutrition just as highly as we value fitness. In addition to extensive experience testing and reviewing all kinds of fitness products, our reviewers are knowledgeable and experienced with the other important factor that goes into health and overall fitness: nutrition. With increased metabolic flexibility, Lumen claims users will have better sleep and athletic performance and will be able to lose weight more easily (if that is your goal). Think: building muscle and shedding fat – the dream, right? Or not crashing during the marathon portion of your Ironman Triathlon- which was the initial idea behind Lumen from its founders, sisters, and Ironman winners: Merav and Michal Mor.Įssentially, the idea is to train your body to switch between using carbohydrates and fat for energy depending on the food you eat, time of day, and activity. With this information, Lumen creates a nutrition plan to encourage your metabolism to become more flexible, therefore “hacking your metabolism”. Check out this article to learn more about the effectiveness and validation of Lumen compared to a machine that measures RER in a laboratory setting. RER is used to measure a person’s metabolism in clinical settings. RER (respiratory exchange ratio) is the ratio of carbon dioxide and oxygen that your body is producing at any given moment. The Lumen does this by reading the Co2 levels in your breath. The device connects through Bluetooth to the Lumen app to read your breath to determine if you are burning fat, carbs, or a combination of the two. Lumen is a small, handheld device that you breathe into. This small, handheld device is only part of what Lumen has to offer. ![]()
