Episode Description (from Darko Botic)
Eating behavior expert Josh Hillis and I discussed why macro tracking isn’t the solution most people think it is and how real coaching goes far beyond numbers.
This conversation dives into behavior change, coaching mistakes, emotional eating, and what actually helps people achieve lasting results. From early career failures to deeper psychological approaches, this is an honest look at what it really takes to change habits and why most of the fitness industry gets it wrong.
