Have you ever wondered what the key is to maintaining muscle mass and promoting health? In my latest podcast episode, I discuss the world of essential amino acids (EAAs) and their crucial role in building and preserving muscle, supporting vitality, and promoting overall health and longevity with Angelo Keely.

Our conversation goes over the fact that essential amino acids are not just building blocks for protein synthesis, but they also act as powerful signaling molecules that stimulate muscle growth and prevent breakdown. This means that consuming the right balance of EAAs can help you maintain muscle mass, reduce fatigue, and recover more efficiently from exercise or injury, regardless of your age. Angelo and I talk about the wide-ranging applications of EAAs, from the NASA protocol for preventing muscle loss in astronauts to the use of EAAs in clinical settings for injury recovery. You'll gain practical tips on optimizing your EAA intake, the best sources of EAAs, and how to incorporate them into your daily routine for maximum benefits.

Angelo Keely started Kion in 2017 in Boulder, Colorado, with the dream of building the healthiest, most inspiring work culture at the heart of a fast-growth, consumer products company that would be focused on motivating customers to go further on their personal health journey. The results have been astounding. Since 2017, Kion has developed many of the highest-possible quality supplements on the market and cultivated an incredibly passionate team.

What We Discuss:

(00:04) From Wall Street to Mold Testing

(12:11) Understanding the Impact of Mold

(18:42) Health Impacts of Mold Exposure

(29:09) Health Risks of Artificial Scents

(34:24) Impact of Mold on Immune System

(01:15:46) Mattress and Pillow Health Concerns

(01:23:30) Mold Prevention and Detection Resources

Key Takeaways:

• Mycotoxin urine tests that many people rely on to identify mold illness are likely detecting dietary sources of mycotoxins from contaminated foods like grains, nuts, coffee, etc. rather than mycotoxins inhaled from moldy buildings.

• A holistic approach is recommended, focused on controlling moisture/humidity in buildings to prevent mold growth, using air purification, transitioning to a diet low in grains and high in fresh produce and pasture-raised meats to minimize dietary mycotoxins, and cultivating a positive mindset during the recovery process.

Did you know that your gallbladder plays a vital role in maintaining overall health and longevity? In today’s bonus episode, I dive deep into the importance of TUDCA, a bile acid that supports not only gallbladder and liver function but also has far-reaching effects on digestion, fat-soluble vitamin absorption, gut health, and even brain function.

Taking care of your gallbladder and liver is essential for optimal health. I share my personal experience with gallstones and how incorporating TUDCA into my supplement regimen has made a significant difference in my well-being, including improved sleep quality and reduced inflammation.

To learn more about the benefits of TUDCA, the crucial role of the gallbladder, and how to incorporate this supplement into your routine, be sure to tune in.
