402: The Protein Hack for Better Skin, Muscle, and Fat Loss with Angelo Keely

Angelo Keely is the co-founder of Kion and an expert in amino acids and muscle health. He joins the show to break down everything you need to know about optimizing protein for better skin, muscle tone, and body composition. We discuss the difference between essential and non-essential amino acids, how creatine actually works (and whether it causes puffiness), the surprising benefits for brain health, and how collagen fits into the equation. We also cover how to cut calories or lose fat without losing muscle, what to look for in a protein powder, and how to use small daily habits to hit your protein goals—without being obsessive.
