In this episode, founder of the popular supplement brand, Kion, Angelo Keely introduces us to the exciting world of amino acids and why these nutrients are crucial for our wellbeing. Learn how aminos support muscle maintenance, enhance mental + physical energy, and improve appearances.  Ahead, Angelo reveals why whole food protein diets and essential amino acid supplements are non-negotiable for age reversal, athletic performance, and weight loss. He also touches upon the emotional and scientific approaches women and men should take towards diet and nutrition. Of course, nutrition is just one aspect of health – Krista and Angelo discuss the importance of spirituality, gratitude, and acceptance in creating positive life shifts. Finally, they caution against societal pressures to constantly strive for more and, rather, encourage listeners to celebrate the small wins every day.  We also talk about: Differences between protein sources + their impact on protein synthesis Food combining techniques for optimal health + performance The impact of caffeine on neurotransmitters  Maintaining lean muscle mass for blood sugar regulation Macronutrients + their functions in the body Transformation, acceptance + letting go of control Sustainable business practices over relentless growth Benefits of essential amino acids for mood + fatigue reduction Resources: Instagram: @Kion Website: GetKion.com/almost30 Sponsors: Seed | Support your gut this summer with Seed’s DS-01® Daily Synbiotic.
