Welcome to the Reason Roundtable, your weekly reminder that it doesn't have to be like this.

Brought to you by the magazine to Free Minds and Free Moins?

Yeah, Free Minds and Free Markets.

I'm Matt Welch, joined by Nick Gillespie, Peter Suderman, and Catherine Mangue Ward.

Happy pre-Labor Day, comrades.

Howdy.

Hello, Matt.

Happy Monday.

We are going to ring our joy bells about the Democratic National Convention that was took place last week in Chicago here in a moment.

But first, a word from our sponsors over at Lumen.

Before we continue with, the Reason Roundtable,

I want to tell you about today's sponsor.

Lumen, the world's first handheld metabolic coach.

It's a device that measures your metabolism through your breath.

Then on the Loomin app it lets you know if you're burning fat or carbs and gives you

tailored guidance to improve your nutrition, workouts, sleep, and even stress management.

All you have to do is breathe into your lumen first thing in the morning and

you'll know what's going on with your metabolism, whether you're burning

mostly fats or carbs.

Then, lumen gives you a personalized nutrition plan for that day based on your measurements.

You can also breathe into it before and after workouts and meals so you know exactly what's going on in your body in real time

I've tried lumen and I've got to tell you that it is a great tool for motivation and information.
