Amino Acids to Combat Brain Fog, Mood Swings, and Muscle Loss in Menopause | MMP Ep. 171

Menopause can be REALLY challenging.

It can feel like your brain just won’t turn on, that you are more reactive, moody or anxious and to top that all off despite busting your butt in the gym you can’t seem to lose fat or build muscle.

The first word that comes to mind when talking about that is frustration.

Today I had Angelo Keely on the podcast to talk about the shocking benefits of essential amino acids for women in their 40s and beyond to combat all the brutal side effects above that we experience from declining estrogen.

Angelo is not only super knowledgeable about the science of amino acids, but he’s really made it easy to understand and shocked even ME with some of the studies!

And you know me - I do not promote anything that is not scientifically backed, and that I use myself.

He has so graciously offered to give all you women a 20% discount on aminos if you head to getkion.com/stephanie so you can experience the life changing benefits of aminos today!
