In this exclusive sneak peek, Ashleigh shares the first full episode of a new series on Healthy Aging she has developed with friend, Carnivore-ish co-author, wellness writer, and chef Beth Lipton. Over the course of seven episodes they dive deep on topics like beauty, motherhood and pregnancy, relationships, nutrition, mental health, and more, all through the lens of healthy aging for women: what does it mean to age in a healthy way? How do we balance our desire to remain youthful with the inevitability of getting older? Can we find more peace and joy in the way our bodies and priorities shift through life? The series is honest, real, vulnerable, and created in an effort to create community and share with other women who are no doubt juggling the same questions and uncertainties. There are questions, answers, personal stories, and laughs as they learn. These are just a few of the questions the women dive into, starting with this first episode on fitness, which covers the ladies' thoughts on: what they learned about wellness and fitness from their own mothers; whether or not fitness HAS to change as we age, and if so, how; their own personal journies through various forms of fitness, and more. The full Healthy Aging Series will be published on Ashleigh's YouTube channel, which you can find and subscribe to here: https://www.youtube.com/@musclemaven If you have any feedback, questions or comments, send them to musclescience4women@gmail.com.

Dr. Fiona Lovely is a longevity, health and wellness expert with specialties in menopause medicine, functional neurology, and functional medicine. She is speaking to the topics of women's health around perimenopause and menopause. In this week's episode, Dr. Fiona Lovely sits down with Angelo Keely, nutrition and protein optimization enthusiast. Together, they dive into the powerful, science-backed role of protein and amino acids in supporting women's health—especially in midlife and beyond. Angelo unpacks why protein needs actually increase with age, particularly for women going through menopause. From fighting muscle loss (sarcopenia) to supporting bone health, metabolism, and mood, getting enough high-quality protein is essential—but often overlooked. You'll learn smart strategies to meet your protein goals without overeating, the key differences between protein powders and essential amino acids (EAAs), and how targeted supplements like creatine and EAAs can dramatically boost muscle and cognitive health—even without intense workouts. They also address the risks of rapid weight loss with GLP-1 medications (like Ozempic or Zepbound), and how pairing these with resistance training and amino acid support can help preserve lean mass and vitality. Topics We Cover in This Episode: Why women over 40 need more protein, not less How sarcopenia sneaks in—and how to stop it High-protein food tips: egg whites, Greek yogurt, lean meats & more EAAs vs. protein powder: what your body really absorbs NASA studies, amino acids & maintaining muscle without exercise Creatine for women: not just for gym bros GLP-1s & supporting strong muscles when taking it Simple, sustainable tips for strong, energized aging You can find more about Angelo and KION and about the Aminos product we speak about in this epsiode by visiting getkion.com/lovely (and there is a 20% off code - LOVELY) “Breathe.

Leveling Up: Creating Everything From Nothing with Natalie Jill
Choking down protein and still not seeing results? Your protein powder could actually be working AGAINST you after 40! What if everything you've been told about protein supplementation is completely wrong for midlife women? In this eye-opening episode, Natalie Jill interviews Angelo Keely, Co-Founder and CEO of Kion and renowned protein science expert, who reveals that after age 40, our bodies become increasingly resistant to the muscle-building effects of traditional protein. The shocking truth: essential amino acids (EAA) become 4-6 times more effective than protein powder as we age, yet most women are wasting money on supplements that don't work—or worse, could be accelerating muscle loss. Taking EAAs can be a total game-changer for those aiming to lose fat while maintaining muscle mass. Learn why maintaining muscle becomes nearly impossible during weight loss without the right amino acid strategy and the science behind why the timing of your protein matters dramatically more after midlife. If you're struggling with stubborn weight gain, muscle loss, or fatigue despite "eating more protein" this conversation uncovers the missing nutritional piece that could transform your midlife body.

In today's episode, I sat down with Mary Hamilton, Global Lead for Accenture's Connected Innovation Centers, to explore how the landscape of artificial intelligence is shifting. As we mark the 25th anniversary of Accenture's Technology Vision report, this year's insights reveal a profound transition into an era of AI-powered autonomy—reshaping how enterprises operate and how people and technology work together. Mary took us inside the key findings from the Tech Vision 2025 report, which is centered on the growing role of AI as a true partner rather than just a tool. From acting as a co-developer to becoming a brand ambassador and even powering robotics in the physical world, AI is on a fast trajectory toward becoming a foundational layer across every business function. However, Mary made it clear that technology alone isn't enough. Without trust in the systems being built, none of this innovation will land as intended. As she shared, building confidence in AI must be both cognitive and emotional—leaders must ensure that AI systems behave in expected, transparent ways and that people feel confident in their interactions with them. We also discussed how enterprises can harness what Accenture calls "cognitive digital brains" through multi-agent systems that enable intent-driven rather than instruction-led technology. Mary unpacked how these architectures, combined with AI platforms like GenWizard and SynOps are already transforming how companies create, operate, and innovate. We explored how brands can differentiate themselves in an AI-first world, where intelligent systems increasingly mediate customer interactions. She explained that one of the most significant risks is that ever sounds sound the same unless companies inject their values and personality into their AI experiences. We also touched on the rise of general-purpose robots, which have gained specialist capabilities and brought flexibility to logistics and manufacturing. Through examples with companies like KION and Schaeffler, Mary described a future where AI-enhanced robots work alongside humans in more agile, adaptive ways Finally, we tackled the human side of adoption. Mary shared why upskilling employees, giving them time to experiment, and aligning culture with AI goals are vital for lasting impact. Measuring success in this space requires more than cost savings or productivity gains. Ethical compliance, trust-building, and workforce empowerment are also essential signals that businesses are moving in the right direction. So, what does it take to turn AI from a buzzword into a practical driver of reinvention? How can leaders build a digital foundation ready for a future defined by autonomy and intelligence? Tune in to hear how Accenture is answering those questions—and helping the enterprise world do the same.

In this episode, we're thrilled to welcome back Angelo Keely, CEO and Co-Founder of Kion, a true expert in protein nutrition and a trusted voice in the world of wellness. We dive deep into the world of essential amino acids with a special focus on Kion Aminos—what they are, why they matter, and how they can help support lean muscle growth, fat loss, and overall body composition. From practical tips for starting a muscle-building journey to clarifying the differences between protein powder, aminos, creatine, and collagen, Angelo breaks it all down in a way that's both informative and inspiring. We also explore the growing buzz around GLP-1 weight loss drugs, the impact of protein and aminos on skin health, and whether or not aminos “count” toward your daily protein intake.

Sarah Ann believes that health isn't about perfection—it's about understanding your body and mind with tools that empower you, not just data that defines you.

Today on the show we discuss: the dark side of the modeling industry, the health crisis that massively shifted Sarah's career, how she unlearned self criticism and transformed her relationship with external validation, the dangers of using filters of social media, the 8-minute rule that can change everything, why Sarah's podcast is helping so many people and much more.

Maximizing Fitness, Fat Loss & Running Through Perimenopause
In this episode, Louise, a multi award-winning women's integrative health practitioner, performance scientist, and one of the world's leading exercise physiologists specializing in active women and recreational runners, shares essential, female-specific supplement strategies for active women and endurance athletes. Drawing from over 22 years in exercise, nutrition, and wellness, she breaks down the science behind smart supplementation and explains how proper timing and high-quality, third-party tested products can support your best health. Key insights include, if you need it, taking vitamin D in a fat soluble liquid paired with vitamin K in the morning for optimal absorption, and using magnesium bisglycinate at night to support relaxation, sleep and mitigating PMS symptoms. This episode also highlights the benefits of essential amino acids and whey protein for muscle recovery, the importance of evidence-backed collagen dosing (paired with vitamin C) for joint and skin health, and why a purified form of creatine is preferable to protect liver function as we age. Furthermore, host Louise advises avoiding melatonin and overly stimulating pre-workout supplements, which can make perimenopause symptoms worse. She emphasizes that fueling your body properly with strategic whole foods, portions and meal composition that support hormone production, gut health and metabolic health is key to long-term energy, hormone balance, fitness and overall well-being.
