After 30, your body needs up to 6x more essential amino acids to build muscle effectively. Without adequate amounts, your body draws from muscle to repair organs. Kion founder Angelo Keely explains why essential amino acids are 3-6x more effective than whey protein and why many people may not be getting enough protein.

In this episode we explore supplement quality considerations, how proprietary blends obscure actual ratios and examine "grass-fed" claims. Plus, creatine offers benefits beyond bodybuilding. This energy source improves cognitive performance during sleep loss, enhances focus and memory, and supports emotional stability. Angelo shares how daily creatine helped stabilize his mood.

We dive into somatic awareness, using breath and body sensations to stay present instead of getting caught in thought loops. Angelo reflects on finding purpose through body awareness and trusting your timeline rather than forcing outcomes.

The practical approach: Under 30, eat well and supplement optionally. Age 30-40, add daily aminos and consider creatine. Age 50+, prioritize essential amino acids and increase creatine for muscle, cognition, and emotional resilience.
