Ep 10: Humans Are Not Broken with Angelo Coppola

Angelo's podcast is called Latest in Paleo ... It is, in my experience, more than that.

It is, in my experience, more than that. It's an approach in how to think about the body, evolution and modern day dilemmas like diet, chronic pain, purpose and happiness.

This is really a show about one of my favorite topics: HOW to think about learning about your body. Angelo Coppola hosts the podcast Latest in Paleo and the site, and guiding philosophy really, that Humans Are Not Broken.

He's a writer, interviewer, devourer of research, father of five, husband, natural mover and has kept off 90 pounds for six years (a powerful transformation — deep insight after a lifetime of trying to lose weight — that he uses to connect to his tribe looking to do the same in a sustainable, healthy, long-game way). All that is cool, of course, though what really drew to me to want to interview Angelo is how he transmits his massive knowledge base about the human body in a very open-minded, kind and accessible way.

Angelo's golden rule of how to apply willpower, at 51m 29s, alone is worth the price of admission.
