Eating Skills and Emotional Eating with Josh Hillis
As we begin to bid farewell to 2021, you might consider what you want your New Year to look like. Many of us will make New Year’s resolutions with that vision in mind, and for most of us, those resolutions are pretty similar. In fact, exercising more, losing weight, and eating healthier are consistently ranked among the top ten New Year’s resolutions. Josh Hillis, author of Lean and Strong: Eating Skills, Psychology, and Workouts, has dedicated his career to fostering healthy exercise and eating habits through psychological principles.
