Maximizing Fitness, Fat Loss & Running Through Perimenopause
What if some the very things you swore you'd never do are the ones that bring you the most growth in your health and performance as your hormones change age 35 and beyond? In this episode, Louise Valentine, leading exercise physiologist and women's integrative health expert for everyday female runners, gets real about the unexpected shifts that happen in perimenopause, changes that affect not only your body, but also your mindset, relationships, and how you fuel, live, and train.Louise shares six surprising shifts that many women face: juggling kids' performance with personal goals, odd pelvic floor pain and symptoms that show up out of nowhere, taking supplements for health instead of performance, realizing that sex can be a powerful form of nervous system regulation, navigating stress like never before, and perhaps most shocking is racing for fun, joy, and love of running, instead of always chasing PRs.These insights aren't just personal stories; they're backed by decades of coaching, cutting edge female-specific science, and lived experience. Whether you're struggling with hormonal changes, recalibrating your fitness priorities, or searching for balance in a high-stress season of life, this conversation gives you permission to evolve with grace, strength, and joy.Learn & level up with my free nutrition guide and award-winning Badass Breakthrough Academy to thrive through perimenopause with less stress: https://www.breakingthroughwellness.com/ Take advantage of our podcast listener discount and save 20% off all of Kion's science-backed clean products: https://www.getkion.com/pages/maximizing Link to our FullScript where you can see our curated best supplement picks & save 20%: https://us.fullscript.com/welcome/breakingthroughwellness/store-startEpisode Highlights:(0:00) Intro(3:22) Six surprising shifts in perimenopause(5:21) Shifting focus from self to kids' performance(15:49) Pelvic floor pain returns in perimenopause(18:13) Supplements for health, not performance(22:18) Sex as nervous system regulation(25:32) Why stress management matters most now(32:54) Racing for fun instead of PRs(40:03) OutroTune in weekly to "Maximizing Hormones, Physique, and Running Through Perimenopause" for our simple female-specific science-based revolution.

Most of us think protein is just about building muscle—but what if we've been getting it wrong all along? In this eye-opening episode, host Louisa sits down with Angelo Keely, co-founder and CEO of Kion, to uncover the real science behind protein, amino acids, and muscle health. Angelo explains why essential amino acids—not just protein—are the critical drivers of muscle maintenance, recovery, and even longevity. He breaks down the shocking truth about how different protein sources actually compare, why aging adults need more than the RDA suggests, and how supplements like amino acids can prevent muscle loss—even without exercise. Whether you're a midlife woman trying to protect bone density, an athlete looking for an edge, or simply someone who wants to age stronger—this is an episode you can't afford to miss. About the guest: Angelo is the co-founder and CEO of Kion, a lifestyle and supplement company built around optimizing health and energy through essential nutrients.

Maximizing Fitness, Fat Loss & Running Through Perimenopause
What if some of the foods and workouts you've been relying on are actually making perimenopause harder? In this episode, Louise, one of the world's leading health, fitness and performance experts for everyday female runners, gets real about the connection between dopamine seeking, food choices, and protecting your mental health as hormones change. You'll hear why waiting for low hormone labs to tell you that you're in perimenopause is too late, and why learning to listen to your body's early signals and warning signs matters most.This conversation sheds light on how low hormone levels and perimenopause mechanisms of action affect mental health, nutrient timing, nutrient absorption, recovery, and even how you should approach training. You'll discover why high-intensity exercise can backfire and why some women need to abstain from certain foods instead of trying to “moderate.” Enjoy candid real life examples of how genetic predispositions and environmental triggers like family traditions and old memories can spark cravings, mood swings, depression, frustrating performance decline and even fat gain!Most importantly, you'll walk away with practical insights to protect your mental health, maximize brain health and mood, make peace with your body, and build a lifestyle that supports achieving your goals instead of fighting them.

THANK YOU TO OUR SPONSORS! Visit https://getkion.com/drg for 20% off. Sign up for our newsletter! https://drchristiangonzalez.com/newsletter/ After 30, your body needs up to 6x more essential amino acids to build muscle effectively. Without adequate amounts, your body draws from muscle to repair organs. Kion founder Angelo Keely explains why essential amino acids are 3-6x more effective than whey protein and why many people may not be getting enough protein. In this episode we explore supplement quality considerations, how proprietary blends obscure actual ratios and examine "grass-fed" claims. Plus, creatine offers benefits beyond bodybuilding. This energy source improves cognitive performance during sleep loss, enhances focus and memory, and supports emotional stability. Angelo shares how daily creatine helped stabilize his mood. We dive into somatic awareness, using breath and body sensations to stay present instead of getting caught in thought loops. Angelo reflects on finding purpose through body awareness and trusting your timeline rather than forcing outcomes. The practical approach: Under 30, eat well and supplement optionally. Age 30-40, add daily aminos and consider creatine. Age 50+, prioritize essential amino acids and increase creatine for muscle, cognition, and emotional resilience.

Secrets of CEOs for Peak Performance What if I told you the sleep secrets of CEOs could be the difference between mediocre performance and absolutely crushing it in the boardroom? Look, Jamie Diamond from JP Morgan Chase didn't just randomly mention elite athletes when describing great leaders – there's a direct connection between physical optimization and executive performance. In this episode, we dive deep into the sleep optimization strategies that top CEOs use to maintain the stamina, mental clarity, and decision-making capabilities needed to lead at the highest levels. We're talking about practical, actionable sleep hacks that don't require you to become a monk or spend five hours a day on wellness routines. Our guest today is Ben Greenfield, and frankly, there's nobody better qualified to break down the science of peak performance optimization. This guy isn't just talking theory he's a New York Times bestselling author, former professional athlete who completed 13 Ironman triathlons, and has been voted America's top Personal Trainer by the NSCA. Ben works directly with high-level CEOs, professional athletes, and elite performers, helping them optimize every aspect of their physical and mental performance. As the founder of KION supplements and host of one of the top-ranked health podcasts, Ben has spent decades figuring out how busy, high-achieving individuals can maintain peak performance without sacrificing their business success or family time. KEY TAKEAWAYS: Sleep drive starts when you wake up . Strategic light exposure is your secret weapon. Temperature control can make or break your sleep. Your bedroom should be a sleep sanctuary only. Sound management beats racing thoughts. The 3-hour rule for meals and workouts. Mouth taping and nose breathing optimize oxygen flow. Cortisol management is about more than stress. Growing your business is hard, but it doesn't have to be. In this podcast, we will be discussing top level strategies for both growing and expanding your business beyond seven figures. The show will feature a mix of pure content and expert interviews to present key concepts and fundamental topics in a variety of different formats. We believe that this format will enable our listeners to learn the most from the show, implement more in their businesses, and get real value out of the podcast. Enjoy the show.

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.
