In episode 172 of the Fit Mother Project Podcast, Dr. Anthony Balduzzi sits down with wellness leader Liz Plosser to unpack the practical power of essential amino acids (EAAs) for women in midlife. Liz shares how auditing her protein (moving from ~40–50g/day to 100–130g), lifting heavier, and adding a simple EAA + creatine ritual transformed her recovery, sleep, energy, and body composition. You'll learn how leucine acts as the “on-switch” for muscle protein synthesis, why EAAs raise blood amino acids faster than food or even whey, and exactly how to time them around training—especially if you love early-morning or fasted workouts.They get into real-life scenarios: perimenopause and muscle loss, plant-forward diets that miss the leucine threshold, travel days with low appetite, and periods of stress when whole-food intake dips. Liz explains how she pairs EAAs with creatine for stronger training and steadier energy, and why she still prioritizes whole-food protein as her foundation. You'll also hear when not to sip EAAs (e.g., during longer fasts for autophagy goals) and how to keep perspective by focusing on the “big rocks” first—strength, cardio, sleep, stress, connection, and simple, protein-forward meals.Finally, Dr. Anthony and Liz compare EAAs vs. whey vs. whole food, outline quick-start dosing/timing ideas, and share easy kitchen and gym habits that make consistency feel effortless. Whether you're rebuilding strength after a lull, navigating hormone changes, or just want a cleaner way to support recovery, this episode gives you a clear, actionable playbook to get stronger and feel amazing—without overcomplicating your routine.Key TakeawaysEAAs rapidly raise blood aminos and trigger MPS.Leucine threshold (~2–3 g) is the on-switch for MPS.EAAs are great pre/during/post—especially for fasted AM training.Aging = anabolic resistance; EAAs help bridge the gap.Food = slow, whey = faster, EAAs = fastest availability.Pair EAAs with creatine for strength, recovery, and body comp.Useful for travel, low appetite, and plant-forward meals.Focus on “big rocks” first: strength, cardio, sleep, stress, nutrition.EAAs complement—don't replace—high-quality whole-food protein.Skip EAAs during longer fasts if autophagy is the goal.Learn More about Liz Plosser and Kion:Website: Go to getkion.com/fitmother and save 20%Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/lizplosser/YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@LizBakerPlosserSubstack: https://lizplosser.substack.com/Kion's Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/kion/Biographical Information on Liz PlosserLiz Plosser is the former Editor-in-Chief of Women's Health, where for seven years she oversaw the brand across its print and digital platforms and various brand extensions, reaching a monthly audience of 44+ million.

As hormones change age 35 and beyond, true strength isn't just about lifting heavier, but finding balance between a variety of strength training strategies, power, dialed in female-specific nutrient timing and your most confident vibrantly well glow... that's resilient enough to shine through life's up and downs! In this empowering episode, Louise, one of the world's leading experts in women's health, fitness, and running, challenges the all-or-nothing mindset that dominates women's fitness and strength training today. She opens up about her own journey from working in male dominated fields like high-performance professional sports and research, to redefining what feminine strength really means, encouraging women to honor both their fierce and graceful sides.Listeners will learn how to train smarter, not harder, by understanding their physiology, preventing overtraining, and embracing a personalized results-based approach to strength and running. Louise breaks down why specific strength exercises like endless squats do not serve female runners, how muscle-building differs for each woman, and why “bigger, faster, stronger” doesn't always equal better health.She reminds us that it's okay to want to look lean, to crave badass definition, or to simply feel at home in your body. Whether you're lifting for health, injury prevention, power in running, or physique, this episode invites you to let go of black-and-white fitness thinking and live strong and feminine, without apology.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/ Link to our FullScript where you can see our curated best supplement picks & save 20% off: https://us.fullscript.com/welcome/breakingthroughwellness/store-start 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 Promo code LOUISE saves on all future orders!Episode Highlights:(0:00) Intro(3:39) Masculine energy in wellness culture(5:11) Balancing strength with femininity(7:00) Smart training for runners(8:08) Why endless squats can backfire(9:58) The “gain as much muscle” debate(13:15) Tailoring training to body type and goals(16:51) When heavy lifting turns harmful(17:51) The gray space between strength and softness(28:37) Letting go of black-and-white fitness thinking(31:16) OutroTune in weekly to "Maximizing Hormones, Physique, and Running Through Perimenopause" for our simple female-specific science-based revolution.

She'd love to hear from you and share your comment or question on air!Leave Karena a voicemail: https://www.speakpipe.com/KarenaDawnWhat if one terrifying night became the catalyst for a lifetime of healing?In this powerhouse episode of The Big Silence, Karena sits down with Angelo Keely, co-founder and CEO of Kion, to unpack his extraordinary path—from a near-fatal stabbing at 16 to building a company rooted in simple, consistent habits that support both muscle and mood. Angelo breaks down protein (in plain English), and you'll learn how small, repeatable choices can stack up into real change. He also explains why essential amino acids and creatine are especially impactful as we age. If you've wondered how to protect muscle, sharpen your mind, or support mental health without going “all or nothing,” this one's for you.How Do We Build Muscle and Mood—At Any Age—With Protein, Aminos, Creatine, and Consistent Habits?Angelo shares the science and the systems that actually work, and how to choose one tiny action you can repeat every day for real impact.(00:01:00) What Kion Is—and Why Angelo Says You Don't “Need” ItPrinciple first, product second: Food comes first; EAAs are a targeted way to stimulate muscle protein synthesis with fewer calories.Non-workout days matter: EAAs still drive protein synthesis—even on rest days.Consistency > intensity: Angelo takes EAAs every morning (often with creatine) to “tell” his body to rebuild.Better together: Taking EAAs before training leverages increased blood flow for greater impact.(00:05:30) From Bad Trip to Bigger Life: Trauma, Accountability, and 20 Years of IntegrationThe turning point: A severe LSD episode led to assault and multiple stab wounds—sparking a decades-long healing journey.Whole-person recovery: Talk therapy, meditation, yoga, acupuncture, movement, and study.Daily rhythm: 15k steps, basic strength work, slow “zone-2” runs, and short family meditations.One thing rule: Pick one change you'll actually do every day; stack from there.(00:14:30) Protein 101: Why EAAs Can Beat Whey—and Whey Often Beats SteakEnergy vs. materials: Carbs/fats fuel; protein rebuilds tissues, enzymes, hormones, and neurotransmitters.Quality counts: Higher essential amino acid content + digestibility = stronger protein synthesis signal.Practical takeaway: EAAs can deliver the goal of protein (rebuild/retain muscle) with fewer calories—useful for fat loss without muscle loss.Aging advantage: As we age, we're less sensitive to protein; powders and EAAs become more useful.(00:31:30) Creatine & Women: Strength, Cognition, and Mood—Minus the “Bloat” MythHow it works: Creatine saturates muscle (and brain) phosphocreatine stores, making reps and sprints feel slightly easier—strength builds over time.Brain benefits: Higher intakes in studies have shown improvements in memory/focus; emerging research suggests better depression outcomes.Myth-busting: Quality creatine monohydrate doesn't cause true “bloat”; women tend to gain strength/endur­ance—not bulk.Dosage mindset: Daily use matters (not just on lift days). Pair with protein/EAAs and strength work for the compounding effect.(00:40:30) Weight Loss Without Muscle Loss: GLP-1s, Deficits & The Case for More Protein/EAAsThe risk: Calorie deficits (drug-assisted or not) can strip muscle unless protein/EAAs are substantially higher.Target outcome: Lose fat, keep muscle—use EAAs as a “cheat code” to shore up a...

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.

Former News Editor ad News Anchor for now defunct TV station KION, and now leader of new Internet News, collaboration “The 831”

After the shutdown of local Santa Cruz TV news station KION, we find out what the future lies for popular Meteorologist Lee Solomon & Managing Editor Jeanette Bent ….. as they forge ahead with their news collaboration “The 831.”

As hard as it is for us to hear, the “grind harder” and "bigger, faster, stronger" mindsets that once got us results are now holding us back. In this powerful episode, world-leading perimenopause women's health, fitness and performance expert Louise Valentine breaks down why women in their 30s, 40s, and 50s, especially runners and Type A high-achievers, need to rethink how they train, fuel, and recover. She introduces the idea that “the threshold has changed”. Our bodies, hormones, how we achieve fitness adaptations, and nervous system health evolves with aging, and so must our approach.Listeners will learn how chronic stress, underfueling, male-based nutrition strategies and unexpected overtraining due to male-based running methods stall progress, and how recalibrating with smarter female-specific strength training, fueling, recovery, and nervous system regulation can unlock new levels of strength, holistic mind-body performance, and clarity. Louise shares real client stories showing how doing a bit less with intention and customized female-specific strategies can lead to faster running, better sleep, glowing skin, PRs, and lasting energy.This isn't about slowing down, it's about working smarter with your changing body and female physiology so you can continue to thrive, perform, and feel amazing at every age.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/ Link to our FullScript where you can see our curated best supplement picks & save 20% off: https://us.fullscript.com/welcome/breakingthroughwellness/store-startTake advantage of our podcast listener discount and save 20% off all of Kion's science-backed clean products: https://www.getkion.com/pages/maximizingEpisode Highlights:(0:00) Intro(5:07) Discovering the “threshold has changed”(7:57) Why Type A women need new strategies(12:28) The role of cortisol and recovery(16:37) Real client wins from doing less(20:06) Nervous system regulation and breathwork(25:39) The cost of always “crushing it”(28:46) New rules for nutrition, rest, and strength(30:46) Action steps to adapt and thrive(34:41) OutroTune in weekly to "Maximizing Hormones, Physique, and Running Through Perimenopause" for our simple female-specific science-based revolution.

Often, the very thing we love, running and endurance training, is silently adding counterproductive stress to our body. While not a sole causative factor in adverse health outcomes, recent research findings have scientists, practitioners, recreational endurance athletes, and runners pausing across the world!In this episode of Maximizing Hormones, Physique, and Running Through Perimenopause, Louise, one of the world's leading integrative health practitioners, exercise physiologist, and fitness experts explores the often-overlooked connection between female physiology, gut health, and endurance training.Drawing on her 22+ years of clinical experience, research, supporting thousands of active individuals at all levels, and her own journey as a dedicated runner reversing stomach precancer, Louise explains how stress, gut health, and hormonal changes intersect during perimenopause and what you can do about it. From the science behind intestinal permeability (that stubborn lower ab “pooch” and bloat) to targeted, affordable supplements and practical fueling strategies, she keeps it simple, science-based, and specific to highly active women who love to run.You'll also hear Louise's candid take on the latest viral headlines and misleading social media spins claiming running causes cancer, why it's not that simple, and how to critically approach the noise without giving up the sport you love. This episode is equal parts honesty, science, and actionable tools so you can run, live, and thrive with confidence.If ready to critically think about novel research findings, instead of panic or jump to conclusions, this episode is for you!Feel, look & perform your best with my “All About Gut Health & How to Restore It” Mini Course here: https://www.breakingthroughwellness.com/offers/tKTJYVjP/checkout Link to check out the “Healthy Gut Support” (intestinal support formula) mentioned in the beginning of this episode: https://equi.life?irad=859795&irmp=3644194Watch my blog article “The Art of Magaining Stress & Chronic Disease Risk When You Love Fitness or Running… A Lot” “https://www.breakingthroughwellness.com/blog/dedicated-female-runners-the-art-of-managing-stress-women-s-health-osteoporosis-chronic-disease-riskLearn & level up with my free nutrition guide and award-winning Badass Breakthrough Academy to thrive through perimenopause with less stress: https://www.breakingthroughwellness.com/ Link to our FullScript where you can see our curated best supplement picks & save 20% off, including 20% off Seed, the supplement mentioned in today's episode: https://us.fullscript.com/welcome/breakingthroughwellness/store-startTake advantage of our podcast listener discount and save 20% off all of Kion's science-backed clean products: https://www.getkion.com/paTune in weekly to "Maximizing Hormones, Physique, and Running Through Perimenopause" for our simple female-specific science-based revolution.

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. With a lifelong passion for nutrition and performance, he's on a mission to educate people about the powerful science of amino acids and help them live stronger, healthier, and longer lives.  Discover Kion: Instagram: @kion Visit getkion.com/neuro for 20% off. *** Subscribe to The Neuro Experience for more conversations at the intersection of brain science and performance.

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. This is about self-love, awareness, and applying the best female-specific strategies specific to YOUR unique body and goals to thrive in a season that often feels overwhelming, but doesn't have to be!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(6:13) Hormone shifts and nutrient timing(7:09) Training pitfalls and exercise misalignment(10:17) The stress tipping point and community support(16:15) Running journey, self-belief, and family influence(22:08) Dopamine seeking, cravings, and food memories(27:02) How food triggers dopamine and cravings(33:03) Knowing yourself: Abstainer vs moderator(37:30) Cycle timing, mood dips, and food impact(45:45) Naming dopamine seeking and accountability(52:45) Practical takeaways and self-love as core(57:26) OutroTune in weekly to "Maximizing Hormones, Physique, and Running Through Perimenopause" for our simple female-specific science-based revolution.

Not just for the flavor or daily ritual, but because the science behind it is incredibly compelling. Often misunderstood and unfairly demonized in wellness circles, coffee is, in my view, one of the most powerful herbal medicines we have. Its benefits span brain health, metabolism, mood, cardiovascular support, and more. I'll break down the latest research on caffeine metabolism, including the key differences between slow and fast metabolizers, and how your individual response can impact sleep, blood pressure, and overall well-being. If you've ever questioned your relationship with coffee, or felt guilt-tripped into giving it up, this episode brings the data, context, and clarity you need to make your own informed choice.

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.
