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?

When something unexpected or uncomfortable happens to you, the natural reaction is to make a rash decision. To avoid feeling embarrassed or afraid again, you decide never to do that thing again. This instinct is natural, but it might also be what is holding you back from being where you want to be with your health goals.
In today’s episode, Lisa talks about decision-making. When it comes to any goal in your life, from health to business, decision-making is one of the most effective tools you can use to succeed. However, if your decision-making abilities are compromised, it becomes a hindrance. A bad experience can stain your choices moving forward, and you can no longer trust your decisions about anything related to that incident again.
Lisa shares two ways to become a better decision-maker. Tune in to learn why you can’t be trusted to make your own decisions and gain insights on how to build resilience and recovery into your mindset so you can start making choices that align with your goals.

Excellence is not conditional. Many of us don’t hit our goals because we only take action when it aligns with certain conditions. To get your health in order, you have to do whatever is necessary, regardless of the circumstances.
In today’s episode, Lisa shares her proprietary 4-step framework to make your obedience radical. The term “obedience” has become another buzzword, and many people mistake their partial willingness to do things to better their health as living a life of obedience. But there are levels to obedience; if you want to succeed, you need to level up to radical obedience.
Tune in to learn the four characteristics of radical obedience. Lisa gives explicit definitions so there is no confusion as to whether or not you are truly surrendering to do what you are called to do despite the presence of fear and uncertainty. Through personal anecdotes and client stories, Lisa breaks down exactly what it means to live a life of radical obedience.

Faith without works is dead. People of color and people of other marginalized communities are taught that they have to work ten times harder to be credible or worthy. But no matter how hard you work, no matter how long you go with no days off, put your head down and do the work, you will never get to where you want to be without activating faith.
In today’s episode, Lisa shares her journey of burning out from working hard and shifting her focus to developing faith. She used to think faith was just about having a relationship with God, attending church, and understanding scripture. But that is enough. Faith is an action; you must exercise your faith muscle to prove and demonstrate your faith.
Lisa explains the three things she does to demonstrate faith in her life. She gives personal and client examples to show how activating faith will drastically change your success as an entrepreneur and business owner so you can hit your goals while enjoying a more stress-free lifestyle.
To live a life of radical obedience and do what you are called to do despite fear and uncertainty, you need more faith than hard work. Tune in for insights on demonstrating faith and the impact exercising your faith muscles will have on your overall success.
