Angela talks to Mia Johanna Dige from Lumen, about the concept of metabolic flexibility and how it impacts our overall health. Mia, a specialist in nutrition and metabolic health, explains that metabolic flexibility refers to the ability to efficiently switch between using fats and carbohydrates as fuel sources. She highlights the importance of metabolic health as a foundation for achieving various health goals and discusses how Lumen, a breath analysis device, can help individuals track their metabolic flexibility in real-time.

Mia also delves into the role of stress, fasting, and exercise in optimising metabolic flexibility and shares insights on how to use the Lumen device to personalise nutrition and fasting strategies

KEY TAKEAWAYS

• Metabolic flexibility is the ability to efficiently switch between using fats and carbohydrates as fuel sources.
• Metabolic health is the foundation for achieving various health goals, such as weight loss, fitness optimisation, and healthy aging.
• The Lumen device measures the carbon dioxide concentration in breath to determine the percentage of fat and carbohydrate burn, providing real-time information about fuel utilisation.
• Stress can negatively impact metabolic flexibility and fat burn potential, so managing stress levels is crucial for optimising metabolic health.
• The Lumen device can be used to optimise fasting by tracking fasting duration and identifying the ideal window for breaking the fast to avoid physiological stress and overeating

BEST MOMENTS

"Stress definitely has a huge impact on metabolic flexibility. Individuals in chronic stress or even acute stress are less likely to reach fat burn and more likely to be in carb burn."

"If you fast too long, you risk overeating afterwards. It can have a knock-on effect on our hormones where cortisol is stealing away the building blocks needed for progesterone."

"We want to optimise our hormonal health and incorporate intermittent fasting, but not put ourselves at risk of going into physiological stress. Lumen can help us find that balance."

"The lumen device is a game changer for optimising fasting. It helps individuals track their fasts and make small changes to their fasting window based on their metabolic readings."
