SHOW DESCRIPTION: In this podcast I talk to Angelo Keely, founder and CEO of Kion Aminos, about amino acids: what they are and why they are so important for a stronger mind, brain and body. From young, amino acids have played an important role in Angelo’s life. He grew up   in a health-conscious family where what you ate and how you exercised were incredibly important, including getting enough amino acids for better energy and post-workout recovery.
