Essential Amino Acids for Fat Loss & Energy with Angelo Keely

This week on EMPWR, we're joined by Angelo Keely, Co-founder and CEO of Kion, for an eye-opening deep dive into the world of essential amino acids and why they’re so much more than just a supplement buzzword. From building muscle and boosting energy to supporting skin, brain function, and healthy aging, amino acids are foundational to overall wellness, and Angelo breaks it all down in a way that’s practical, science-backed, and empowering. Angelo shares his unique journey, from growing up in a health-conscious family to a life-altering near-death experience at 16 that led him to rebuild his body through nutrition, meditation, yoga, and breath work. That pivotal healing journey ultimately inspired him to build a company rooted in true health optimization. We explore: why essential amino acids matter (especially for women!), how to support your body with better protein intake, Angelo’s personal wellness rituals and daily routines, tips for staying energized and healthy while managing business and family, and the power of manifestation and creating a life that feels aligned. Whether you’re a wellness pro or just curious about how to feel stronger, more energized, and empowered in your body, this episode is packed with insights that will leave you inspired to take your health to the next level.
