In this episode KION founder, Angelo Keely joins us for a deep dive on all things amino acids. As the building blocks of protein, we look at why they are necessary for our health, what foods contain amino acids, and their connection to your metabolism and longevity. We also look at what makes something an essential amino acid, how and how often you should be getting them, does it break a fast and if they really are as essential as the wellness world makes them seem.  For all links mentioned in episode: www.drwillcole.com/podcast   Sponsor: You can now save 20% on monthly deliveries and 10% on one-time purchases.
