460. How to Lose Fat and Protect your Muscle with Essential Amino Acids

It's time to dive deep into the world of essential amino acids – because trust me, there's no better way to tackle fat loss while preserving that precious lean muscle than harnessing these powerhouses. I brought in Angelo Keely, from Kion Aminos, to break down the science, shatter some myths, and give you the lowdown on how EAAs can completely revolutionize your metabolic health. This isn't just about chowing down on more protein – it's about strategically using the right tools to boost muscle protein synthesis, curb appetite, and nail your fitness goals, especially when life's busy schedule leaves you hanging. We’re talking about more than just gym gains here. Whether you’re navigating perimenopause, dealing with GLP-1 medications, or just looking to upscale your health game, this episode is packed with actionable tips from EAAs to smarter protein choices. Angelo and I sift through the nitty-gritty, from why muscle absorbs 80% of your sugar intake to how effective EAAs can extend your fasting windows without muscle loss. And, while I’ve found my groove with products like Kion, you’ll get the scoop on avoiding unnecessary additives and picking supplements backed by genuine research. So, take your scoop of aminos acids, prep your resistance bands, and join us in this amino acid deep dive!
