Howdy Ben thank you. Thank you. Hello

Hi, happy Monday. Thank you so much for coming. We're going to start with a word from our

sponsor here. 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 Lumen app, it lets you know if you're burning fat or carbs and gives you

tailored guidance to improve your nutrition, workout, 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 it and I've got to tell

you, Lumen is a great tool for motivation and information. It's easy and it's fun to use.

Seriously.

Your metabolism is your body's engine.

It's how your body turns the food you eat into fuel
