@obaumer Thanks Omri, looking forward to hearing you experience with Lumen, let us know if you have any questions.
@ourielohayon Thanks ! After 4.5 years of development and hundreds of beta users we are excited to make it available to everyone :-)
Looks interesting, in for one. I'm curious if you can use one device with two phones + accounts?
@braunshizzle yes multiple people can use the same device and download the app in their respective phones. However because we suggest taking a morning breath fasted upon wake up, it’s best to have two separate devices unless you live together :)
@dana_v2 Yep awesome! Will you have an historical view / record of breaths and the data from them? Will there be an API? Will the app be a subscription at all or any subscription related costs?
@braunshizzle yep! You’ll have a dashboard of all your breaths and various insights from Lumen on them! You’ll be able to integrate apps (such as sleep or activity apps) into Lumen which will also be reflected into the dashboard for more insights. App will be free.
I'm intrigued by the opportunity to lose the baby weight on my terms. Does it tell you about workout days too? High intensity v. Low intensity
@kaitlynwitman Hey! Yeah it gives you insight into either what type of workout we suggest (high/low) based on your breath or if you already have a workout planned will take that into account with your nutrition plan for that day. If you click on “buy it” it’ll take you to the campaign page and there’s a video from one of our testers who came to Lumen to lose the baby weight from baby #3. Think you’d find it interesting and could answer any more Qs you’d have.
My partner and I have been loosely following a Keto diet but have avoided the analytics of tracking macros and using ketone strips due to price and inconvenience. It looks like this will be a major step up in helping us make informed food choices without the annoyances of other products/methods. Congrats on an amazing launch, Lumen team. Can't wait to get ours!
@kindra_at_rf Thanks Kindra! Can't wait to have you experience Lumen, I'm sure you will enjoy it. You will be able to see if exactly what's going on with your body and if you are burning fat. Take a look at the video of Molly Maloof MD on the Lumen page, she is an inspiring person and exactly about that.
Sounds exciting. It would be great if the recipes are also suitable for everyday use and not as out of the ordinary as in most blogs and magazines. Wonder who has the time to buy and cook so extensively. 🤷🏻♀️😄
Interesting concept. I’m not at all knowledgable about how the metabolism works etc. But what’s the science behind you breathing and your metabolism!
Lumen looks amazing I cant wait to try it!
I just have a couple of questions.
1.Does it measure your RMR- to give you a total number of calories you burn in a day and base the diet choices off that? since to lose weight it really would not matter what your burning fat or carbs. Weight loss is more about putting yourself in that calorie deficit. Like you could boost your metabolism and be killing it while burning 3000+ calories a day but if you eat 3500 you wouldn't lose any weight. So would these details be provided in the app? Im kinda trying to figure out what all Data Lumen is using or would provide?
2. Do you guys offer a API me and my team are building a fitness app and would love to integrate lumens data into it :)!
Excited to see and be blessed !!

@rmagrino Thanks Robert. Yes, two people can use the same device, but for Lumen to give you the best insights about the food you eat and your body we recommend getting one per person, so you have the option to carry it around. It cannot measure blood alcohol at this time.
Wow. What a great product. Can't wait to use it. Filling a big gap in the market. Went to Dr. for nutrition advice and got nothing. Hope you can partner with health orgs. Also love that this isn't paired with a wearable - those things are ugly! Liked your story - Ironman training gives this a lot of validation, since this is one type of training where you have to be super on top of your nutrition and metabolism. Great job you guys!!
I first heard about this product a few years ago, but declined to participate in the initial trial because I was a wuss. After hearing about the power of the platform, I'm regretting that choice. Bur it's never too late to start getting healthy!
Pros:This is one of the coolest ideas I've seen in a long time, and coming from a team who knows their way around the space.
Cons:I'll miss my pizza, but now at least I'll know when it's to enjoy it!
Thanks Jon, we look forward to having you as part of the Lumen Community. FYI, You don't need to say goodbye to Pizza, it's just about knowing when is the right time to have it according to your body and goals.
Hey Marc,
Thanks, I'm sure you will enjoy Lumen, looking forward to welcoming you onboard.
