Sid Garza-Hillman is a nutritionist, health coach, and running coach who is extremely thoughtful, entertaining, and skillful in his approach to helping clients change.

In this conversation, Sid and Howard talked about how clients come in beating themselves up, and how this leads to excess pressure, unrealistic expectations, internal conflicts, and eventual exhaustion and failure. And how to help clients organically approach their ideal lives and begin to embody their ideal selves.

While Sid and Howard agree on most things, we did chew around a couple areas in which our practices diverge. Specifically, Howard is more aggressive in getting clients to confront their "bad habits" - we used the example of eating 10 Snickers bars a day, and no that isn't a product placement - while Sid prefers to focus on building self-awareness and positive habits in other areas first.
