Episode notes

Aminos are the oftentimes in many foods that you try. They are much of the bitter, sour and umami flavors. How did you get them to taste good without putting a bunch of weird shit in there? It's really just tons of iteration and being willing to invest more in the flavor profiles. You know, honestly, like people who do like artificial flavor type stuff and sucralo, small kinds of other gross things can cover up pretty well. But if you're trying to do something that's very clean label and not use synthetics and solvents and the gross stuff, it just takes willing to have a budget for what your flavor is going to cost.

Angelo Keely joins the show today for our first real deep dive into essential amino acids (all nine of them) and their critical role in our body’s health and longevity. Angelo really knows his stuff, so we get granular on all things protein – why lean muscle is the most important thing you can take with you into your later years, plant protein vs. animal protein, and specific diet and supplementation practices to help you get the most out of life.

I won’t spoil too much detail, but Angelo is also gracious to share two absolutely mind blowing stories from earlier in his life – the first, a scary, violent, traumatic LSD experience. The second, a deadly bus crash in India, set him on the path he walks today.

We spend the back half of the conversation getting into the inspiration behind his supplement brand, Kion – how the health and wellness space leaves room for sketchy claims and ingredients, and how committed he is to putting out a clean product.
