Hi, guys, welcome back to another episode of the Real Foodology podcast. Today's subject is something

that I consider to be really the most important topic when it comes to food in our health.

And I knew I needed to cover this first because it's really the foundation of a truly healthy

diet. And there's so much confusion around the subject. So when I was deciding how I was going to do this

episode, I knew that I really needed to bring on an expert to help us understand the ins and outs

of it and why we should care. And I thought, who better than my friend Max Goldberg?

Max has been called inorganic sensation by the New York Times and named as one of the nation's leading organic food experts by Shape Magazine.

Imagine having a metabolic coach in your pocket that you could access at any point, any time in the day, whenever you want.

That's what Lumen is. Lumen is the world's first handheld metabolic coach.

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

And on the 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. I have so many podcast episodes about metabolic flexibility and why it is so incredibly important for your overall health and longevity. And now thanks to Lumen, you can actually see in real time your body's

ability to efficiently switch between using different fuel sources like carbs and fats.

There's preferred times to use each and how well you can switch places between burning carbs

versus burning fats will tell you a lot about what is going on in your metabolism and where you are in the

metabolic flexibility spectrum. 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. And Lumen will give you tips to keep you on

top of your health game. Why is this so important? Your metabolism is your body's engine. It's how

your body turns the food you eat into the fuel that keeps you going. Because your metabolism is

at the center of everything your body does, optimal metabolic health translates

to a bunch of benefits, including easier weight management, improved energy levels, better fitness
