Same DNA, different glucose: Alex and Joey discovered how small shifts could make a big impact.

Alex and Joey are identical twins — but don’t let the identical DNA fool you. Alex is a product manager with a love for data and a minimalist coffee order. Joey’s a creative director, mom of two energetic boys, and a fan of eight pumps of sugar syrup before 9 am. They live different lives, but share a few similar habits and an Austin, Texas zip code. 

When they decided to wear Lingo biosensors together, they expected similar results. But their glucose told a different story. What followed was smarter fueling, better sleep, and a whole new way to compare notes. 

The Lingo program does not guarantee that everyone will achieve the same results as individual responses may vary. Consult your healthcare professional before making changes to your diet or exercise regime or if you have an eating disorder or a history of eating disorders.
