The Other 23

Ready to finally stop MANAGING preventable lifestyle diseases and start helping your clients achieve the optimal physical & mental health that you initially envisioned?

APPLY FOR THE OTHER 23

The Other 23 is the first plant-based nutrition & coaching certification which prioritizes minorities and specifically addresses the unique circumstances and challenges faced by marginalized communities.

The Other 23 is a group coaching program for health and fitness coaches who desire to increase their earning potential, improve their clients' compliance & maximize their health outcomes by taking a whole food plant-based approach.

"Anyone can workout for an hour a day, but it's what you do for The Other 23 that has the biggest impact on your health."

Here's the Truth:

You're capable of getting your clients transformational results.

-Brialle R.

It's time to stop fumbling your way through nutrition conversations or avoiding them altogether just because you lack the confidence in being able to effectively (1.) dissect their issue OR (2.) articulate the solution without overwhelming both them and yourself.

As a health professional you understand the importance of nutrition and you're 100% sure that learning specifically about plant-based nutrition will help your clients achieve undeniable transformations. By now, you know enough to be viewed as the pseudo-expert in your ecosystem, but not quite enough to assist your clients with completely eradicating their health challenges. Yet, you KNOW you're capable of getting there.

You've already tried...

Mastering plant-based nutrition

using several DIY strategies like books, podcasts, conferences and Youtube but still don't quite feel prepared enough to start coaching.
Doing some coaching on your own

all the while praying that you never get asked a question outside of your zone of genius.
Ignoring the urge to coach

because although you know the material, you get frustrated when people don't listen or take your advice.

The reason those things haven't worked for you is because you haven't positioned yourself as the authority for a specified sub-group of the general population OR you haven't been taught the difference between teaching and coaching and the unique components of each to guarantee the desired outcome for your clients.

Finally, a plant based certification that teaches you the science AND how to confidently position yourself as the expert in order to attract clients that are ready to do the work.

If you're truly ready to improve your clients' health outcomes by integrating plant-based nutrition & using proven coaching strategies, The Other 23 was specifically designed to get you there.

Our approach is different from other plant-based certifications. As opposed to just regurgitating science and explaining why a whole food plant-based diet is the ideal diet for optimal health and longevity (also known as free information you can easily get online), we've designed our curriculum to focus on three key areas:

MASTERY

of the science which will help you to assist the specific audience you want to serve.
It's time to go from a generalist to a specialist.

Want to specifically coach people with cancer or kidney failure? You'll learn how a plant-based diet can directly impact the specific area YOU want to focus on.

INTEGRITY

in the way in which you deliver the content to ensure you practice what you preach.
People want to be coached by people who can relate to them.

As we carve out your zone of genius, we'll help you do the personal development work necessary to ensure you're fully aligned with the message that you're delivering.

CONFIDENCE

in coaching individuals through life changing transformations using cognitive behavioral techniques.
Confidence comes from evidence.

Finally, understand the difference between teaching and coaching and learn the key components which separate average coaches from phenomenal coaches.

"Hi Lisa!!! I just wanted to reach out and thank you for the guidance and encouragement you have given me with starting my business. I just had a local non-profit reach out to me to teach plant based cooking classes to teens. I am beyond excited to finally be in the position to start making a real difference especially with the youth in my community and I owe a lot of it to you. Thank you!!!"

We seek qualified health professionals within a specified criteria.

It's imperative that every participant is TRULY ready for this level of growth in their career and has the attitude and drive to make the most of their time in The Other 23.

We only open enrollment a few times a year and want to work with those who are really ready to do the work in order to improve the quality of life for the people they serve.

So, who is The Other 23 designed for?

The Other 23 is for

Seasoned health & fitness coaches with an existing clientele.

Health career professionals (i.e. therapists, social workers, counselors, nurses & doctors) who understand the significant impact diet has on their patients' health outcomes.

The Other 23 is NOT for

Individuals who are not ready to niche down (get specific on the problem they solve), show up publicly or refine their offerings.

Individuals who are not interested in packaging and monetizing their expertise i.e. they only want to share what they learn for free.

Individuals who are skeptical about the power of lifestyle and dietary modifications and the role it plays in reversing lifestyle disease.

Here's how we'll spend our time together.

During your suitability interview, we'll explain the entire format and structure in detail, but for now here's what's important to know...

Group Training and Coaching

Every 1st and 3rd Wednesday of the month we'll meet as a group and you'll be introduced to several different frameworks to ensure you're both comprehending what you're learning AND that you're clear on how to apply it to the specific audience you plan to serve.
Like-minded Curated Community

You will engage with your colleagues via a private student portal & Facebook group where you'll get additional clarity on any of the content, direct feedback on your assignments and access to additional learning opportunities.
Linear Curriculum Housed in a Private Student Portal

As you progress through the different phases of the curriculum, you'll have the opportunity to learn from several subject matter experts on various topics about plant-based nutrition and coaching techniques.These lessons will compliment the live coaching sessions you'll attend twice a month along with the supplemental assignments you'll complete.

I know you get a million thanks everyday, but I'm probably WAAAAY more THANKFUL than everybody else! I am very grateful for The Other 23 class. I am literally seeing my life TRANSFORM every day as I inundate myself with what you are teaching us. Already, my mind is not the same as it relates to what I've been putting in my body. I thought I was doing good, and I was for where I was. However, as you've said, this is an elevated level of wfpb living. Lisa, I can't unsee what I'm seeing or unlearn what I'm learning. I wholeheartedly believe in this class and life! Thank you again for your OBEDIENCE.

Not feeling prepared enough to truly help the people who already view you as the expert.
Consuming loads of content only to feel unsure on how to use it.
Undercharging or feeling shame for charging for your services.
Not being viewed as the authority in your space whilst watching clearly unqualified people dole out bad 'expert' advice.

This is why you're the perfect fit for The Other 23. Imagine what happens when you finally know how to package your expertise into easily digestible and implementable strategies.

Results don't happen just by wishing for them.

They happen because you follow a framework which teaches you a repeatable process.

Great coaches have great coaches.

"I don’t know if you remember my post after I finished the spring 2021 course about this family of 4 that started training with me but wanted to share this. I’m seriously so emotional as I write this. She called me with so much joy to share that her husband is now completely off diabetes meds and she’s down to just 1/2 of her pill. Her doctor told her that more than likely she would be off by her next visit and I’m so elated for them. This is only after 3 months of diet change and exercise training. Food is medicine I seriously can’t thank Lisa Angel Smith and the others enough for this course. I have told you, everything I learned I’ve put into my teachings. I’m so blessed to have been able to learn what I know now. Lisa you’re a gem
