About Us

We keep people healthier, for longer

How we started

Our journey began with helping improve the quality of life of people living with pain. But as we worked to treat those already suffering, we saw a larger, more urgent problem: too many of these conditions were preventable. The best way to address chronic disease wasn't just better treatment, it was stopping it before it started.

That realization shaped Lumina's mission. Our team of medical, behavioral, and technology experts turned our attention to prevention, targeting the root causes of modern disease: stress and inflammation. By restoring balance before illness takes hold, we help people stay healthier, perform better, and live longer, fuller lives.

Our commitment to quality of life

Health isn't just about avoiding disease — it's about living fully. We're dedicated to improving quality of life by addressing the factors that undermine it. With a science-backed, personalized approach, we help individuals take control of their long-term.

Who we are

Clinical leadership

We combine cutting-edge science with real-world experience to drive better health outcomes.
