Sign up for our newsletter! ⁠https://drchristiangonzalez.com/newsletter/⁠ After 30, your body needs up to 6x more essential amino acids to build muscle effectively. Without adequate amounts, your body draws from muscle to repair organs. Kion founder Angelo Keely explains why essential amino acids are 3-6x more effective than whey protein and why many people may not be getting enough protein. In this episode we explore supplement quality considerations, how proprietary blends obscure actual ratios and examine "grass-fed" claims. Plus, creatine offers benefits beyond bodybuilding. This energy source improves cognitive performance during sleep loss, enhances focus and memory, and supports emotional stability. Angelo shares how daily creatine helped stabilize his mood. We dive into somatic awareness, using breath and body sensations to stay present instead of getting caught in thought loops. Angelo reflects on finding purpose through body awareness and trusting your timeline rather than forcing outcomes. The practical approach: Under 30, eat well and supplement optionally. Age 30-40, add daily aminos and consider creatine. Age 50+, prioritize essential amino acids and increase creatine for muscle, cognition, and emotional resilience.

0:00.0	When you consume essential amino acids and they get to a really high peak concentration in your blood.
0:05.8	So let's just say, I eat some beef and I digest it and in it, I get some essential amino acids and they go into my blood.
0:11.4	That is what tells my body that it's safe and good to break down older defunct proteins and rebuild them with new ones.
0:19.4	If you've been struggling to build muscle or feel like your workouts aren't giving you the results that you're used to, you are not alone.
0:26.6	Most people don't realize that as we age, our bodies become increasingly resistant to protein, meaning that steak or protein shake just isn't working like dating your 20s.
0:35.6	Today I'm talking to Angelo, the founder of
0:37.7	Keon Supplement, who's going to break down why essential amino acids are more powerful than
0:43.0	weight protein at building lead muscle. We're also going to dive into how creatine can rescue your
0:47.4	focus on those low sleep days and why the order you take these supplements will actually matter.
0:53.0	This is not your typical eat more protein
0:55.0	advice. It definitely is not. Angela is going to show you exactly how to work with your body's ever-changing

1:06.1	I get a box every month and I use everything in that box. I just put up a picture showing how amazing your
1:12.4	company is. But before we get into interviewing with you, I got rapid fire questions. Are you ready
1:16.6	for this? Let's go. Okay. Should women be taking creatine? It depends on your age and what else you're
1:25.9	doing and how much money you have. Okay. Does creatine bloat you?
1:32.3	No. Okay. Hey, there you go. There you go. Okay. Does conventional cow-fed, non-grass-fed way
1:42.3	create disruption in the gut.
1:45.3	I think it would depend probably on the quality of it and how it's filtered, et cetera,
1:49.8	but I don't take it because I do have that kind of concern about all dairy that's conventional.
1:56.0	If someone's really, really wants to put on lean muscle. And that's like a huge goal of theirs.
