Thank you for this--it's nice to hear a professional give a real and thorough review to help us understand if it's worth the purchase. 🤗

So if the device shows you are burning a certain time of day does this mean that is the best time to exercise? Does it show the best time to eat?

Great Review! People are complaining because of the price. Its the first and only machine that does what it does. How can you put a price on your health. I just purchased mine on blk friday sale for 169.00. 😮

Do they give instructions on how to "put the data into action"? It's great to know if your fat or carb burning but without instructions on how to impact the number I would think the data would be kind of useless.

My question exactly. And can never get a straight answer. So you’re burning carbs…now what?

@FirstNameLastName-gb8pg 3 ай бұрын

It does give guidance and macro suggestions for the goals you input. BUT it is only available in the subscription

Thank you for this very informative helpful information. Before your video, I did not think about using the Lumen throughout the day, I have been using it in the late morning after I get up, but they do mention in the app that you can use it in the morning before breakfast, use it before a workout or after a workout and at the end of the day. I have been using Lumen for about 2 weeks now. I love it! It's a great investment for health and how your body uses fats and carbs. I actually do Keto, but in the app they ask you, if you like to eat all foods, fish only and no meat, vegetarian, vegan or keto. You can pick any of these choices. I really love that they do that. So far after 2 weeks, I am really learning how my body handles fat and carbs. They explain why your body is burning carbs or fats a certain way. After you get a reading, they tell you what your body might be doing, then you can tweak something a certain way. Your sleep, food, stress exercise all play a part including your mitochondria and cortisol. I think its important to write some things down, so I have been doing that. Also what you said in your video about how to get the inhaling and exhaling into the Lumen going, is so true. It's a bit tricky, but I got it after a couple of days. The whole key is when your breathe in, you inhale like when your drinking a milk shake through a straw, then fill up your lungs holding your breath 10 sec and exhale when it tells you to. Its not really that hard. If you keep a slow constant air flow it works great! They had a video on the app and I had to watch how to do it. Thanks again for your helpful information.

We understand the device identifies what my body is using for fuel. What changes do I make if I am zone 3 and 4?

Increase your fasting window time & when you do eat, lower your carbs and increase your healthy fats/clean proteins.

Came across your channel when researching Lumen. I'm 57, T2D that is in remission, lost 60lbs but I have been stalled for 3-6months and I'm frustrated. I have glucose and ketone meters. As we know those require lots of finger sticks to get readings. Wondering if this could be used to break my stall? If I am burning carbs then obviously I'm eating too many. But can I use this device effectively with out buying the monthly plan?

Thanks for sharing your experience on using Lumen. I'd like to try it out, but am wondering if the device would still work after cancelling my membership? I want to use the device to measure my breath but don't need a nutrition plan or expert guidance long term.

@Subrosathefirst 6 ай бұрын

From their site: If I cancel my membership, can I still use the Lumen device? “Yes, for Lumen devices purchased starting July 30th, 2023, after the cancellation comes into effect you’ll still be able to take unlimited metabolic measurements. However, you won’t have access to the Lumen membership experience, including personalized insights and guidance.”

Hi, Thanks for the video. Can we use one device with more people?

@HealthyMomHappyFamily 6 ай бұрын

That's a great question! The information Lumen provides is unique to you, so if you wanted to use it with more than one person/profile, you would just need to have separate app accounts to each use the device. I believe Lumen also has a Lumen DUO plan that can be used by 2 people :) I hope this helps!

@Shanester66 5 ай бұрын

How do you know your exhaling into the Lumen was not suitable? Is there an error code that comes up?

Yes. It will tell you to try again with guidance as to what it needs you to do more or less

They run different promotions from time to time which can sometimes increase the discount you receive... I can't live update the video, but the code itself is currently giving more than $50 off!

You pay a lot of money for this device and then you pay more money by paying the monthly subscription or annual. So it's a big NO!

I dunno. I realize I know lots about diets, ketosis, raw vegan compared to vegan keto, etc. etc. And I’ve been vaccinating, falling off wagons, getting on new wagons for years & years & here I am still doing so. Perhaps this app will help me to stabilize? If so, it would be worth the very high price. Might be worth it to get stabilized & be able to think of other things.

what devices tell your BMR ??

There’s no device that I know of but you can get it measured at a Dexafit location for around $100, sometimes they’ll run a Groupon bringing the price down. When you leave you’ll have your RMR and total daily calories burned.

Just google ‘basal metabolic rate calculator’. It’s free. No device needed as it’s a standardized equation
