AP 540: BONUS: How PROTEIN and AMINO ACIDS are essential to helping you feel great in your body as you age || with Angelo Keely of Kion

Are you aging? If so, what’s changed for you about your energy, your mobility, your strength, and even your soreness scale?

Many of us are starting the aging process or are smack dab in the middle of it, and have been for decades.  Talking about bodies and aging can be a can of worms. We have a lot of layers—socially and commercially—that influence the ways we see and value women’s bodies, and degrade this value as those bodies age. That’s a very important topic; but, it’s not the one we’re covering today.

Instead, we’re tackling a question I’ve faced as I’ve noticed more signs of aging in my body: can I focus more on nutrition and movement with the goal being to help increase my longevity without it becoming an unhealthy obsession?

In this episode, you'll hear about how I went on to answer that question via an experiment I conducted to meet one specific need I've faced with my nutrition: protein.

To help, I needed more education--and I get to share that education with you today.

I interviewed Angelo Keely about how protein greatly impacts the aging process in ways we may guess--from muscle tone to metabolism--but in ways we may be surprised by, too--from hormones to brain fog. Angelo shares how protein and amino acids work together to create a body that's functioning and a mind that's working clearly, AND how to add more protein to your diet, especially if you're not much of a meat eater (like me!).

We also chat about the complications of the wellness industry, how Angelo functions within it with progress being the focus, and how the important relationships with his mom and wife have impacted his life and work.

Angelo Keely is the co-founder and CEO of Kion, an active lifestyle, supplement and functional food company dedicated to helping people fully experience a fun and active life by providing pure, energy-enhancing solutions. Kion is the sponsor for this special bonus episode.

I hope my conversation with Angelo can help answer some questions you may be facing about your own aging body, and assist you as you move forward with your own experiments of balancing caring for that body outside of perfectionism.
