Small Steps Intensive

I have found that to truly transition to healthy and happy living requires an on-going practice of small stepping over time. My 12-week private coaching gives you unfettered access to me and my unique approach to earning and incorporating long-term healthy habits.

You will learn how to take control of your life by learning how to effectively discover and introduce new healthy (and happy) behaviors into your life in a way that doesn’t add stress or lead to burn out. What sets my approach apart from any other is the fact that not everyone’s ‘small steps’ are the same size. I will teach you how to settle on a size step that works for you long-term. With my approach you will achieve all the benefits that come with living healthily and happily: healthy weight, increased energy, decreased inflammation, greater self-confidence and self-esteem and more. You will get a true taste of what it feels like to act in line with who you truly are. During the month you’ll learn the nuts and bolts of my system, setting the stage for long-term, sustained changes. Unlike a diet or quick-fix plan, what you learn by working with me will last for the rest of your life.

Testimonials

  • I had been listening to Sid’s podcast for about a year when I first began pondering the idea of working with him as a health coach. I would soon be completing chemotherapy treatments and wanted to gain back some sense of health and happiness. Knowing I was not capable of making big leaps, and after listening to his small step approach, I really felt this was exactly what I needed. I already knew biting off big chunks didn’t work. Lucky for me he agreed to work with me! Any of you who listen to his podcast or watch his videos know about the steps list and tasks he works through with clients. Let me just say that the tasks may sound simple, BUT THEY ARE NOT. I will tell you they work if you give them their due diligence. The month goes quickly and you start to wonder what your life will be like post Sid. Remarkably, I discovered I was capable of exercising and eating healthy food every day along with several other things. Yes, I have phone alarms set to remind me to do some of my steps. But, that’s okay. What are phones for if not to help us be better individuals. He often mentions that weight loss is a side effect of a healthy and happy life. I have some weight to lose, but this was not even my focus going into the relationship. I wanted to feel alive and in control of what was happening to my body. Being a cancer patient takes much of that away. I didn’t question when he suggested I walk 1 minute every day. Before my brain would have said that’s not worth doing, why bother? I didn’t question anything. I just did it. Within the first week I began to walk taller and feel lighter inside. Those initial steps grew! More importantly I grew with them. I found I was able to accept if I missed a step one day. It was the “most of the time” that matters in the long run. He showed me a no stress way to improve my life. I won’t win any races, or be the biggest loser in 30 days. But, I will still be doing what I am doing and maybe more a year from now. I can’t thank Sid enough for showing me how to be happy and healthy in a no stress way. I got a tattoo several months back. It’s the initials ATN with a set of foot prints. It makes me smile when I look at it and is another reminder that small steps move you forward.

  • After a cancerous tumor removal and assorted health issues, it finally became evident to me that I was in need of a lifestyle change. I felt this change was needed to correct a lifetime of poor eating habits, which I felt contributed to my cancer and other health issues. I was introduced to Sid Hillman by phone during the fall of 2009 and have now become a practicing vegetarian – avoiding animal proteins, and with his encouragement by phone and email, enjoying food more – particularly raw vegetables. I am feeling better, enjoying the lifestyle change and choosing restaurants wisely. His guidance was very doable. Both my family and my doctor have seen improvements in my eating habits and my health. I have found Sid to be passionate about the need to improve and enhance our way of life by eating the right foods. Thank you, Sid.

  • My experience with Sid Garza-Hillman was extremely positive. He is very knowledgeable about health and diet, and his professional mannerism made me feel very comfortable to talk with about personal issues I have with my own health. I have experienced issues with my stomach for many years now, such as pain from gas. After consulting with Sid, I have less gas and less pain in my stomach. Also, with other advice I have received from Sid, I am more regular and have more energy.

  • Our five year old had chronic constipation. After several years on fiber medication prescribed by our pediatrician, we turned to Sid. Sid recommended simple dietary changes and supplements to address the constipation and bring her whole diet in balance. Her constipation cleared in a matter of days. Sid took the time to listen not only to the problem we were having, but asked about the whole picture of our daughter’s diet. As a father of three small children he understood how difficult it is to introduce new foods to children and had a lot of great advice about ways to transition children into a healthier diet. Sid treats the whole child instead of just the problem.

  • Sid Garza-Hillman was a great resource for my family on our nutritional quest. Sid led us in the right direction with his recommendations for healthy eating and living. Sid also is very knowlegeable when it comes to a child’s diets and recommendations for food eliminations to help with specific health issues. We truly appreciate his help and his responsive and passionate voice.

  • My wife and I have been working with Sid for over two years. When we first began consulting with him we were fairly strict but not perfect vegetarians. During the past year we have become vegans-not because Sid preaches veganism, but rather because his deep knowledge and logical approach to good health made us want to seek a more plant-based diet. I am 72 and my wife is 66. We are in excellent health, feel great and lead very active lives. My wife swims, walks, and does light weight lifting. I participate in long distance cycling, tennis, walking and light weight lifting. We are certain that a large part of our happy and healthy life style is a result of our dealings with Sid.
