| 0:00.0 | Welcome back to the show. Before we dive in, quick story. I never thought that I would get to the point where I enjoyed essential amino acids. I now see them as such a great tool between meals and as a post-workout. |
| 0:17.2 | Essential amino acids are great because they have the same amino acid profile as way protein but |
| 0:22.5 | without the calories and so how i use it is in between meals when i've gone more than three hours |
| 0:29.6 | between a meal and i'm really working on building muscle in my body i know that i need the amino |
| 0:35.8 | acids i'm not hungry so I rely on essential amino acids. |
| 0:39.2 | And I also take them directly after my workout to provide my muscles with exactly what they need, |
| 0:45.1 | when they need it. And today I am so excited to sit down with Angel Keeley, who's the co-founder |
| 0:51.1 | and CEO of Kian, my very favorite essential amino acids. We're going to be |
| 0:55.8 | talking about protein, amino acids, why they matter for literally everything, including your muscles, |
| 1:02.4 | your hormones, skin, hair, mood, and even energy levels. So if you have ever wondered if you're |
| 1:08.6 | eating enough protein or if supplements like collagen or BCAAs or |
| 1:13.7 | essential amino acids are worth it. This conversation is absolutely for you. Yeah, essential |
| 1:19.3 | amino acids. Now, I take them even though my protein goal is 180 grams a day. And I hit that |
| 1:26.0 | consistently, no problem. Sometimes I'll consciously go under it, |
| 1:30.7 | like if I'm just not hungry and it's a day off from the gym and maybe I'll hit like 140, 150. |
| 1:36.1 | But I even use essential amino acids hitting those numbers on protein. And with many changes, |
| 1:43.1 | which I've dialed in over time, I am consistently |
| 1:45.9 | building muscle at a beautiful rate every single month confirmed by body scans. And that's what we |
| 1:52.3 | want. We want fat to slowly reduce on our body, muscle to slowly increase. We're talking like |
| 1:57.3 | 0.2 pounds a month. And that is music to my ears. It is slow and steady. |
| 2:03.4 | And the slowness is kind of part of it. It's actually very hard to build muscle and very easy to lose it. |
| 2:08.9 | Super great. So before we jump in, I just want to take a quick second to ask for your help. |
