EP. 147: On this episode of the Dr. Tyna Show, I brought my friend Angelo Keely back on for a second round for a very important discussion on muscle and aging. Angelo’s previous appearance on the show “Amino Acids and Why You Need Them” where we covered protein and amino acid nutrition was an audience favorite. Essential amino acids, or EAA's as they’re commonly referred to, have continued to grow in popularity since that show aired. Considering the growing interest in the subject and debates about their efficacy and usefulness, I wanted to invite Angelo back to sort through what's legit and what's hype when it comes to the science of EAA’s.
