🔎 New Research From Lumen!
We just published a new study in JMIR Publications: "The Association Between Macronutrient Consumption and BMI to Exhaled CO2 in Lumen users: A Real-World Study".
Our research team, led by Lumen Co-Founder & Chief Scientist, Dr. Merav Mor, along with Dr. Shlomo Yeshurun, Dr. Tomer Cramer and Daniel Souroujon, MD MPH analyzed post-meal %CO₂ responses in 2,607 participants across varying BMI ranges.
Let's unpack their findings:
☑️ By tracking the metabolic shifts after meals, the Lumen team uncovered a strong correlation between carbohydrate intake and Body Mass Index.
☑️ Study participants with healthier BMIs were able to metabolize carbs more efficiently, indicating better metabolic flexibility.
By contrast, those with higher BMIs demonstrated diminished %CO₂ responses, suggesting reduced metabolic flexibility and inefficiency in metabolizing excess carbs.
Why this matters:
With 88% of Americans being metabolically unhealthy, this research underscores the critical link between BMI, metabolic inflexibility, and overall health. Empowering people to understand their metabolism and form lifestyle habits that improve metabolic flexibility has never been more important than it is right now.
