EP 204: Welcome back to another episode of Realfoodology! Today, I sit down with Angelo Keely, co-founder and CEO of Kion, a cutting-edge supplement company focused on helping people look good, feel young and be strong. As I approach 40, I've become increasingly focused on maintaining lean muscle and overall health, making Angelo's expertise on protein particularly timely. Together we cover the crucial role of muscle mass as we age, explore the lifecycle of proteins, and uncover the benefits of bioavailable options. From essential amino acids to the nuances of plant-based proteins, Angelo shares invaluable insights to help us optimize our protein intake for longevity and vitality. Join us as we navigate the science behind protein and its profound impact on aging and health!
