EP. 263: Join my NEW community for Gen X women: ⁠https://www.skool.com/drtyna/about⁠
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.
