Lumen Launches First Metabolic Food Tracker Revealing Impact on Metabolism in Real Time

NEW YORK–(BUSINESS WIRE)–#lumenmetabolism—Lumen , a health technology company at the forefront of metabolic health, today launched a pioneering food logging platform that enable users to log and track the nutritional value and macro nutrients of every food (volumes of fats, carbs and protein) and meal in order to measure the direct impact of their nutrition choices on their metabolism. The function is based on the only peer-reviewed, handheld device and app that provides insights on what your body is burning for energy (fats or carbs) in real time with just your breath.

Lumen is leading the research behind the foods we eat on a daily basis based on the device and app usage by people who measure their metabolism through the breath. Lumen is currently the largest metabolic health platform with over 1 million metabolism measurements made through the device a month.

“Through the Lumen algorithm, we unlock the potential to gain crucial insights on how the quality of food impacts metabolic health, including the balance of fats, carbs and proteins needed to maintain a healthy weight and lifestyle,” said Amir Dragot, Product Lead at Lumen.

“We can also tap into behavioral change as we understand why and when people eat the way they do along with many other points of future research.”

The metabolic food log is optimizing food choices

• Log food, ingredients with metabolism in mind– see how specific ingredients impact metabolism in real time
• Scan any food at the grocery store– scanning food labels and barcodes to log certain meals and ingredients
• Know when to eat and what – measuring the impact of every breakfast, lunch, dinner and snack
• Log foods for your lifestyle – seeing how certain foods impact exercise, sleep and fasting habits
• Focus on the quality of foods, not calories– logging and tracking the nutritional value and macro nutrients of every food (volumes of fats, carbs and protein)
• Integrate with other platforms you use– importing your data from loggers such as MyFitnessPal

Peer-Reviewed

Lumen can provide numerous insights about the metabolism of an individual, as well as valuable scientific data to increase knowledge of metabolic flexibility and nutrition. Lumen has been peer-reviewed to meet the gold standard for metabolic measurement by a San Francisco State University study.
