Description

On this week’s Flex Diet Podcast, I sit down with Angelo Keely, co-founder of Kion, to geek out on all things essential amino acids (EAAs). We’ll dig into the nitty-gritty science and—more importantly—what that means for you in the real world.Want to pack on more muscle? Drop some fat without feeling wrecked? Stay strong and sharp as the years tick by? EAAs can help—if you know how to use them. We’ll break down why they’re not just “protein lite,” how they work differently than your standard whey shake, and the smartest ways to add them into your nutrition strategy.If you care about muscle, performance, or aging like a badass, this one’s worth a listen.Sponsors:Kion EAAs: https://www.getkion.com/collections/drmikeAvailable now:Grab a copy of the Triphasic Training II book I co-wrote with Cal Deitz here.Episode Chapters:01:30 – Meeting Angelo Keely at ISSN03:00 – Essential Amino Acids: What Are They?06:00 – Protein vs. EAAs vs. BCAAs09:30 – The Science of Protein Synthesis13:00 – Muscle Gain, Body Composition, and Aging17:00 – EAAs for Fat Loss and Caloric Restriction21:00 – Research on EAAs and Muscle Preservation25:00 – Supplement Quality: What to Look For28:00 – How to Use EAAs: Dosing and Timing32:00 – EAAs for Older Adults and Special Populations36:00 – Taste, Formulation, and Product Differences40:00 – Practical Tips for Athletes and Everyday Use44:00 – Creatine vs. EAAs: Which to Choose?47:00 – Real-World Experiences and Anecdotes50:00 – Q&A and Final ThoughtsFlex Diet Podcast Episodes You May Enjoy: Episode 291: Anabolic Strategies and Nutrition Tips to Maximize Muscle Growth & Health with Dr David ChurchYouTube: https://youtu.be/VudpMeB_33w Episode 274: How Muscle Fibers Influence Metabolism: Insights from Nathan SerranoYouTube: https://youtu.be/Ul2TOiodgaoConnect with Angelo:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/angelokeelyKion: https://www.getkion.comGet In Touch with Dr Mike:Instagram: DrmiketnelsonYouTube: @flexdietcertEmail: Miketnelson.com/contact-us
