<p dir="ltr">Have you ever wondered what the key is to maintaining muscle mass and promoting health? In my latest podcast episode, I discuss the world of essential amino acids (EAAs) and their crucial role in building and preserving muscle, supporting vitality, and promoting overall health and longevity with Angelo Keeley.</p> <p><strong> </strong></p> <p dir="ltr">Our conversation goes over the fact that essential amino acids are not just building blocks for protein synthesis, but they also act as powerful signaling molecules that stimulate muscle growth and prevent breakdown. This means that consuming the right balance of EAAs can help you maintain muscle mass, reduce fatigue, and recover more efficiently from exercise or injury, regardless of your age. Angelo and I talk about the wide-ranging applications of EAAs, from the NASA protocol for preventing muscle loss in astronauts to the use of EAAs in clinical settings for injury recovery. You'll gain practical tips on optimizing your EAA intake, the best sources of EAAs, and how to incorporate them into your daily routine for maximum benefits.</p> <p><strong> </strong></p> <p dir="ltr">Angelo Keenley started Kion in 2017 in Boulder, Colorado, with the dream of building the healthiest, most inspiring work culture at the heart of a fast-growth, consumer products company that would be focused on motivating customers to go further on their personal health journey.
