20. How to Achieve Optimal Well-Being, with Alana Kessler, MS RD

Join Alan as he talks with Alana Kessler - MS, RDN E-RYT, Founder of Be Well by Alana Kessler, about a new disorder called election stress disorder and that combined with the stress from the coronavirus people are at an all time high and that having a meditative mindest all day is more effective than meditating for just 30 minutes a day. Alana talks about turning towards stress and confronting it rather than trying to avoid it so that we don’t develop unhealthy coping habits like alcohol or eating bad food. Alan talks about how a lot of successful entrepreneurs don’t have good health and are not in good shape because they worked themselves too hard. Alan asks Alana to advise him as if he was one of her clients. Alana makes him point out healthy things that brings him joy in his life and how he can focus on them instead of eating bad. Next they talk about how people use food to mask feelings and to not deal with problems and that sometimes we have past traumas that we didn’t deal with and this can lead to eating disorders. Lastly, Alana offers useful steps and strategies for keeping goals and creating consistent health habits to feel good.

Self worth, nutrition and producing from a place of abundance with Alana Kessler

Alana Kessler truly takes nutrition to the next level. In this episode Alana takes us deep into the choices we make surrounding food, how they make us feel and why. What I love about this conversation with Alana is how she enlightens us on our daily energetic exchange with food, how each food holds their own unique energy and in turn how we can nourish ourselves as a unique individual. I also find it inspiring how she moves past outdated “restriction diets” and takes her clients into a deeper investigation within themselves. She opens the door for her clients to connect with how they “feel”,  to explore their triggers and habits and to better understand their “whys” which ultimately leads to a more empowered and authentic relationship with food and themselves. She also opens up about her own daily routines and practices, the importance of checking in with how she feels, physically, emotionally and energetically and how she navigates her day based on honoring that honest check-in.

E157 – Alana Kessler – How to Be a Student of Life

In Episode 064 of the D&amp;D Fitness Radio Podcast, we introduce nutrition expert, Alana Kessler, to talk with us about the issues presented in the recent Netflix Documentary, “Game Changers.”  The documentary was produced by filmmaker James Cameron and discusses the benefits of a plant-based diet over more conventional meat-based diets.  The documentary takes the side of plant-based diets and introduces a variety of athletes that have been training and competing as vegans.  It also takes a closer look at the impacts of plant- versus meat-based diets on blood composition, sexual function and overall health, with some of these demonstrations creating compelling arguments for switching to plants.  We pose some of the issues presented in “Game Changers” to Alana to get her opinion on what is valid and what may be over-simplified.  As you can imagine, the answers are not so simple as ‘plant’ is better than ‘meat’.  Alana discusses how you enhance and clean up your diet without taking sides in the plant versus meat debate.Alana Kessler, MS, RDN E-RYT is the founder of Be Well by Alana Kessler.
