Kevin Cottrell is a lifelong serial entrepreneur originally from Silicon Valley and co-founder of a management consulting firm based in Austin, TX. Kevin was the thought leader and co-founder of the original Paleo f(x)™ in 2012.

Kevin found out the hard way that his diet and lifestyle choices weren’t working, and in 2006, the doctors diagnosed him with melanoma. Kevin had always been fit, but that fitness was built on a foundation of poor sleep. You could listen to this podcast to find out what Kevin did to lower his systemic inflammation, improve body composition, and recover his health. Towards the end of the interview, Kevin and I talk about best business practice for health coaches.
