A Simple Science-Backed Tip to Heal Faster From Injuries & Muscle Strains

I just shared this quick tip in our BTW Community & I want you to know this very helpful information, too.

My son is home today because his school doesn’t have air conditioning. He pulled his Achilles a few days ago when playing yard football with friends, most likely due to lack of stretching during Cross Country (XC) season 🤦‍♀️. A tough lesson learned by my son! 

We have been stretching, doing mobility, red light therapy using our Joovv & massage each day. He’s also skipping XC practice & swapping it for swimming so he can properly heal. My kids will NOT push through injury-related pain.

I took this morning as an opportunity to educate about how to expedite healing when we have a muscle strain or injury:

1 scoop Kion aminos first thing in the morning, as research shows all 9 “essential amino acids” or EAAs, in the RIGHT clinically effective doses, are needed or we do not heal properly or fast. Kion uses science-backed ratios, quality testing & has studies showing it upregulates muscle protein synthesis 7x greater than even the highest quality whey protein or red meat, which are the 2 most high-quality amino acid protein sources.

He wasn’t thrilled about it, but shaken over a little ice & Kion’s lemon lime flavor will get the job done.  Self-care & strategic fueling matter: even for our baby badasses 🤣💪

When ordering from Kion, if you use this link here a small portion of the sale comes back to support BTW.  Code "LOUISE" saves up to 20% off on all orders.

And remember, a daily serving of Kion aminos in perimenopause is one of the most powerful things we can do.  

Ideally, take it before, during or after exercise & drink it within 30 minutes.

Amino acids are the building blocks of everything we want in life: 

✅ They support muscle recovery, fat burning, the ability to think clearly, gain physical fitness, support tendon health & mental health.

✅ They help build up our gut wall lining & microbiome diversity, our brain health, cardiovascular health & hormone balance.

✅ They are key to our stress resilience, cortisol regulation, our ability to fall & stay asleep... & more!

When it comes to thriving & taking our family members along with us, let's be sure to do with solid science-backed strategies kept simple & specific to our unique body's needs. Kion aminos are just one tool that can help.

Yours in exceptional health & fitness,
