448: Stop Choking Down Protein - Your Protein Strategy Needs Essential Amino Acids with Angelo Keely
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.

446: Mushroom Coffee: Hype or Health Revolution? The Truth About Medicinal Mushrooms with Wade Lightheart
Mushroom coffee: you've seen the posts and heard the buzz, but what exactly is mushroom coffee and why are so many people, including me, raving about it? Joining me is the always insightful Wade Lightheart from BIOptimizers, who breaks down everything you need to know about the mushroom coffee hype.

Wade shares his personal experiences with cognitive decline and how medicinal mushrooms helped him regain his mental sharpness.

444: Why 'Clean' Beauty Products Fail: The Silver Solution Your Skin Actually Needs with Steve Revelli
Have toxic skin care myths been keeping the most powerful anti-aging element from us?! In this eye-opening episode Steve Revelli, head scientist at Silver Biotics, shares the surprising truth behind silver in skincare and wellness products. Most of us think of silver as jewelry or something that tarnishes, but this misunderstood element has powerful antimicrobial properties that can transform your approach to skincare, wound healing, and muscle recovery. Steve explains how silver has been used for millennia to fight pathogens and why it fell out of favor due to misclassification as a heavy metal. Learn how proper silver formulations target harmful bacteria, yeast, and mold without disrupting beneficial microorganisms—unlike harsh chemical antimicrobials that destroy everything and potentially disrupt hormones. We explore the pressing concerns about toxic ingredients in skincare products, why many natural alternatives seem to fall short in delivering expected results, and why silver is showing promising results for aging skin, faster wound healing with less scarring, and enhanced muscle recovery after workouts.
