For April, we are doing a biohacking month on the Everyday Wellness Podcast, and today, I am delighted to have Daniel Tal Mor joining me as my guest.  Daniel is a seasoned entrepreneur, co-founder, and CEO of Lumen, a company developing consumer nutrition management platforms based on a small device that measures metabolism in a single breath and provides personalized food, lifestyle, and health recommendations.  The Lumen is a tool that can help prevent serious illnesses. Up until now, measuring how we expend the fats and carbohydrates in our bodies and finding out how metabolically flexible we are (or are not) has been left largely to labs and those working in a scientific environment. Having a device in our home that can do all of that has been an exciting new development.  In this episode, Daniel shares how he and his spouse came up with the idea of creating the Lumen device, and he talks about what the Lumen measures, who it was designed for, fuel management, and the importance of tracking your nutrition to maintain your metabolic health. Be sure to stay tuned today to find out what Daniel has to say about the Lumen device and how it can help us to maintain our metabolic health and flexibility.  Show highlights: Daniel discusses how he, his spouse, and her sister came up with the idea of creating a device to give consumers a sense of how metabolically flexible they are.
