BONUS: Preserving Muscle During Weight Loss with Angelo Keely | Menopause, Perimenopause, Muscle Health
About this episode
The episode discusses preserving muscle during weight loss in midlife women with insights from Angelo Keely of Kion.
I’m excited to share another episode in our series of highly vetted companies. Today, I’m delighted to reconnect with Angelo Keely, the Co-founder and CEO of Kion, for our third conversation. I’ve been using essential aminos. I really leaned into them during my book launch, and I credit them with helping me maintain my muscle mass despite training at a lower volume. In today’s conversation, Angelo and I discuss GLP-1s and muscle loss, exploring protein intake, the leucine threshold hypothesis, the association between declining estrogen and blunted muscle protein synthesis, and using essential aminos to build and maintain muscle.
