570. The #1 Hack for Muscle, Skin and Hair and How to Avoid GLP Muscle Loss
from The Thyroid (and Hormone) Fixer Podcast: Thyropause, Menopause, Metabolism and How to Fix It · host Dr. Amie Hornaman
What if the real reason you’re tired, losing muscle, or struggling to heal has less to do with hormones and everything to do with protein and amino acids? In this episode, I sit down with Angelo Keely from Kion to unpack the science behind muscle preservation, recovery, and aging—and why most women (especially in perimenopause and menopause) are severely under-fueled when it comes to protein. We dive into what happens to your body under stress—from surgery to dieting to GLP-1 medications—and how essential amino acids can change the game for your energy, metabolism, and longevity. You’ll learn how to heal faster, lose fat without losing muscle, and protect your body as your hormones shift. We break down how much protein women actually need, the truth about plant vs. animal sources, and why pairing aminos with your protein powder can supercharge results. If you’ve ever wondered why your energy crashes, your hair won’t grow, or your body feels weaker with age, this episode will completely change how you think about protein—and how you use it to feel strong, lean, and alive again.
