In Episode 267 of the Fit Father Project Podcast, Dr. Anthony sits down with Angelo Keely, CEO and co-founder of Kion, for a deep dive into the science of essential amino acids (EAAs) and why they are so powerful for men over 40. Angelo explains how protein actually works inside the body, why EAAs stimulate far more muscle protein synthesis than regular protein foods, and how aging creates anabolic resistance that EAAs can help overcome.

You’ll learn the key differences between whole-food protein, whey protein, BCAAs, and EAAs — and why EAAs consistently outperform every other option for muscle building, recovery, and healthy aging. Angelo also shares practical timing strategies, fasting considerations, and daily routines to help you maximize your results, especially if you’re a man over 40 looking to protect or rebuild lean muscle.

If you want to get more from your workouts, maintain muscle as you age, and use supplements more effectively, this Fit Father Project Podcast episode will completely upgrade how you think about protein and performance.

• Essential Amino Acids (EAAs) = the active component of protein
• EAAs stimulate 3–6x more muscle protein synthesis than whey
• Digestion slows with age → anabolic resistance increases
• Leucine-enriched EAAs overcome anabolic resistance
• Best time: before training for maximum uptake
• EAAs help maintain muscle during fasting
• Whole-body protein synthesis matters beyond muscle
• Older adults benefit most from pulsed amino intake
• Avoid BCAAs alone — ineffective without all 9 EAAs
• EAAs have almost no calories & don’t suppress appetite

In Episode 266 of the Fit Father Project Podcast, Dr. A sits down with neuroscientist and MitoQ Chief Science Officer, Dr. Siobhan Mitchell, to unpack one of the deepest levers of health for men over 40: your mitochondria. You’ll hear how her grandmother’s battle with Alzheimer’s led her into decades of research on aging, “inflammaging,” and why mitochondrial function sits at the root of brain health, energy, and longevity.

Together, they break down how exercise, fasting, MCT oils, CoQ10, vitamin C, and mitochondrial-targeted antioxidants like MitoQ can make the workouts and nutrition you’re already doing more effective. You’ll learn what the science actually shows in human trials — from better power output and faster recovery to less exercise-induced DNA damage and improved blood vessel growth in working muscles.

If you’re a busy man who wants more consistent energy, stronger training results, and better protection for your heart, muscles, and brain as you age, this is an essential listen.

• Mitochondria = powerhouses and “CEOs” of the cell
• Oxidative stress & “inflammaging” drive faster aging
• Balance matters: not too much, not too little mitochondrial activity
• Exercise (especially intervals) trains mitochondrial resilience
• Fasting & ketones trigger autophagy and longevity pathways
• MCTs (especially C8/C10) support ketones and brain function
• CoQ10 is essential but poorly delivered into mitochondria via standard supplements
• MitoQ = mitochondria-targeted CoQ10 derivative with human data
• Studies: better power output, recovery, and less exercise-induced DNA damage
• Vitamin C, magnesium, B12 often need supplement support with age
• NAC, PQQ, NAD boosters, and urolithin A: promising but mixed data
• No magic bullets: stack smart supplements on top of fundamentals

At Fit Father Fit Mother LIVE in Phoenix, something powerful happened that goes way beyond workouts and perfect plates. In Episode 265, Dr. Anthony sits down with long-time Fit Father member Zebb Seabrook and Fit Father/Fit Mother couple Brian and Renee Davis to unpack what it actually felt like to step out of the app and into a room full of people living this mission. They share how the event helped them break through plateaus, reconnect with their deeper “why,” and experience the kind of community you can only feel when you’re sweating, learning, and laughing side-by-side.

You’ll hear how Zebb almost talked himself out of going (even after buying his ticket), why Brian and Renee now see LIVE as a turning point for their whole family, and the surprising shifts they made in their routines when they got home. From mindset breakthroughs and cold plunges to late-night conversations and new lifelong friendships, this conversation gives you a real glimpse into what LIVE is all about—without spoiling the magic. If you’ve ever wondered whether an in-person event is worth the time, travel, and money, this episode will help you decide.

• Immersion breaks mental plateaus
• In-person community accelerates growth
• VIP lunches deepen access & learning
• Couples can transform together
• Resort environment supports healthy fun
• Mindset tools ripple to families
• Generational impact of parent habits
• Early commitment creates powerful momentum

Come experience the hugs, the breakthroughs, the community, and the kind of weekend your future self (and your children) will thank you for.
