In our latest podcast episode, Dr. Jockers and guest Angelo Keely, CEO of Kion, reveal the secrets to optimizing your protein intake and how essential amino acids play a pivotal role in muscle development, healthy aging, and overall wellness.
Why Protein and Amino Acids Matter
Protein is more than just a macronutrient—it’s the foundation of muscle growth, hormone production, and metabolic health. But are you consuming enough of it, and are you getting the right kind?
Angelo Keely explains how essential amino acids, the building blocks of protein, are crucial for stimulating muscle synthesis and maintaining lean body mass, especially as we age.

Aging comes with its challenges, one of the biggest being the loss of muscle mass. Angelo breaks down why your body needs more protein as you get older and how essential amino acids can help combat muscle loss.
Whether you’re looking to stay strong and active in your later years or boost your athletic performance, understanding the science behind protein and amino acids is key.
