Muscle, Protein & Perimenopause: The Truth About Midlife Weight Gain | KION

EP. 263: In this episode, I’m joined by Angelo Keely of KION to unpack what actually happens when body composition starts changing in midlife. We get into perimenopause, appetite, GLP-1s, protein, muscle loss, essential amino acids, and why fat loss is not just about “trying harder.” This is a deeper conversation about building muscle, protecting your metabolism, and using the right tools without losing sight of the basics. → Visit https://getkion.com/drtyna for 20% off Topics Discussed: → How do GLP-1s affect muscle loss? → Why is fat loss harder after 40? → Do amino acids help preserve muscle? → How much protein do women need? → What causes perimenopause weight gain?
