Angelo Keely found himself in a bad place. At the age of 16, Angelo found himself beaten and stabbed. His abdomen ripped open, Angelo found himself fighting for his life. It marked a turning point in Angelo's life. He had to rebuild himself from scratch from that day forward with very little support. It was on him. Angelo's recovery has led him to many places - silent 10-day meditation retreats, traveling through the Himalayas, living in France, and launching Kion. Angelo's recovery started with improving his diet and lifestyle, but he dabbled in just about everything: barefoot running, yoga, breathwork to martial arts. Angelo turned his trials into triumphs by truly challenging himself to answer the tough questions and keeping an open mind to new experiences to grow. His story of starting Kion epic and inspiring. For anyone looking to learn more about overcoming adversity, launching a business, and (most importantly) tapping into optimal health through diet and lifestyle, this ones for you. One of the best parts of the conversation is when Angelo takes us through a deep dive of 'what is an essential amino acid?' and 'why do we need essential amino acids?'. This was a rollercoaster of a conversation with so many unique pieces of value - we hope you enjoy!
