Lumen
The world's first handheld metabolic health coach.
Lumen is a handheld breath-analysis device paired with a mobile app that measures whether your body is burning carbs or fat in real time. It provides personalized daily guidance on nutrition, exercise, sleep, and stress to support sustainable weight loss and metabolic health. The technology is validated by peer-reviewed research and is used by both individual consumers and healthcare practitioners.
The Lumen device analyzes CO₂ concentration in your breath to determine whether your mitochondria are burning carbs or fat, and the app delivers personalized lifestyle guidance based on those measurements.
