The Plant Protocol® Podcast with Lisa A. Smith, Gain Clarity, Confidence and Consistency on a Whole Food Plant-Based Diet
Just because someone can live with a disease doesn’t mean they should. The overwhelming majority of chronic diseases are a result of lifestyle.

Smith, MBA, is a plant-based health and business coach and creator of PHARM TO TABLE® Plant Based Coaching program and The Plant Protocol® Business Accelerator and Coaching Certification, the first to be founded by a person of color. The Plant Protocol® prioritizes the unique challenges faced by marginalized communities in their adaptation of a whole food plant-based lifestyle. This podcast addresses the following questions and much more: *How can a plant-based diet help with chronic diseases? *What are the benefits of a whole food plant-based diet? *How do I start eating a plant-based diet? *What are common mistakes when switching to a plant-based diet? *How does lifestyle affect chronic disease risk? *What foods should I eat on a plant-based diet? *Can a plant-based diet really reverse chronic diseases? *How do I get enough protein on a plant-based diet? *Is it hard to stick to a plant-based diet? *What are the challenges of going plant-based in marginalized communities?

Do you struggle with discipline and consistency? You know what you need to do to better your health, finances, relationship, or career. You may have even started to see results. Still, you return to old habits or a dysfunctional situation.
Not being able to stick to your goals isn’t about capability or skills. It’s the fear and discomfort of the unfamiliar that makes obedience so hard.
In today’s episode, Lisa shares what working in foster care and living in Rome taught her about living in Radical Obedience ™.
As a social worker, Lisa saw children removed from dangerous and neglectful situations. Every single one wanted to go back because they felt safer in a bad environment that they knew than they did living in better circumstances that were unfamiliar. When working at the US Embassy in Rome, there was a concession with junk food because even though Americans know how dangerous processed food is, they still chose it in Italy because it felt familiar.
The bottom line is you have to either get used to unfamiliarity or get used to the consequences of disobedience.
If you are tired of risking your favor because you’d rather be in a situation you know, instead of doing what you were called to do, this episode is for you. Do new things. Embrace being uncomfortable so you can move forward and live in Radical Obedience ™.

Lisa launched her plant-based health coaching program in 2015. After 10 consecutive transformational years, she has decided to retire that curriculum to focus on coaching aspiring entrepreneurs and driven individuals as they build successful businesses and brands.
Lisa isn’t stopping P.H.A.R.M TO TABLE™ because she is bored or burned out. She is moving on because the program is finished. She has helped thousands of individuals transform their lives, lose weight, get off medications, and eliminate chronic lifestyle diseases. This is a strategic completion, not an emotional one.
In this episode, Lisa celebrates the lessons she learned over the past decade and why she is proud to sunset her health coaching program. As she explains her decision, Lisa discusses the key differences between quitting and finishing, especially the role our emotions play in approaching and overcoming challenges.
If you are in a season where you are considering stopping something, whether that is a business venture or otherwise, this episode is for you. Gain insights on what it means to live in Radical Obedience™ and how it feels to finally cross that finish line.
