LIFE IN HAWAII / ALANAS HEALTH UPDTAE

[@AbbyMartindaily]

been a fan for a little over 10 years and i’m so happy you’re doing better and have such a sweet and loving family 💛

[@dirtymikesurfboards]

Im interested in seeing what you guys get at Costco......glad you're back to making videos again 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉

[@mira3743]

So happy that you are back with the videos! Been watching for years now :) greetings from Germany!

[@KristaPurcell]

Hey Alana! my name is Lydia Purcell, I am 12 years old, and I have been a HUGE fan of yours since I was about 7. You have inspired me to go vegan and to chase my pro surfing dreams all the way from Vancouver BC. I have a plan to move to Hawaii when I'm older, and to some day be able to meet you!

[@carl13579]

So glad to see you are still vegan. You are a champ. You probably know this already, but caffeine impedes iron absorption. Quitting caffeine reversed my anemia (and I was anemic while a meat eater and am no longer anemic as a vegan).

[@thelovelyjessimoon]

What are the main staples to ensure enough iron as a vegan??

[@carl13579]

@@thelovelyjessimoon Beans/lentils/tofu and grains including oatmeal. Also dark green leafy vegetables, mushrooms, tomatoes, and potatoes.

[@thelovelyjessimoon]

Thank you ❤

[@stenitez9724]

​@@thelovelyjessimoonyou also need copper and retional to absorb the iron properly. Dates are high in copper.

[@thelovelyjessimoon]

Oh ok. Like eat a date every time u eat iron rich stuff or just sometimes to get enough copper? Thx :)

[@christinanoeridner2729]

So glad to have these videos back. Love you guys! The kids are adorable and so encouraged by your health update! You keep being you!

[@markkeller6635]

Alana, you were diagnosed as having intestinal parasites? What was the suggested cause? Food? contaminated water? or? Best wishes for a return to 100% health!

[@malemaline]

aww you're such a good mom. Hope your health issues get better and it's nice you two seem quite happy.

[@izzymmm]

So happy to see you're back. I have been missing your videos and updates too 🎉

[@09christie]

Hey Alana & Jack, I love your videos and glad you've got more time to make them again (and time for yourselves). Wondering if you might be interested in doing a little deep dive on how you teach your babies ocean/beach safety? Also any tips for getting them on surfboards for the first time - I'd find that so useful 🤍

[@lisad3016]

You've done a great job researching your health issue and making adjustments. Another resource you might consider is visiting with a TCM practitioner (Traditional Chinese Medicine). After my first born I had chronic pain that went undiagnosed via western medicine. It was recommended to me that I take prescription, which I rarely do- so that was a no go. Instead I went the TCM route and after the very first visit was prescribed plant based tea that addressed imbalances and dramatically improved the way I felt. best to you

[@ocker64]

Hi Alana & Jack, Just want to tell you I love your KZbin content and the lovely life you have together. Don’t get to anxious about Coda , he’s not like Banks and fortunately both children are always different embrace it we did and I still do . I child is always chill and the other wild . Keep well try hydrogen water it helped me sleep better after developing insomnia for four months after my wife of 40 years passed away suddenly. Keep positive you live in paradise surfing everyday and have an Aussie great for a partner

[@carahhukill]

Yes!! I’m so excited for this girl! I’ve been following your journey since surfer girl and I too have had 2 boys since then. You are so inspiring to me and I just all around love watching you and your family grow. True fan of it all! happy your back and I’m beyond excited to watch the coming videos❤️

[@ryanmay5519]

I’m pumped you guys are back on KZbin !! 😜🌊🍍🏄🏼🏄🏽‍♂️

[@purseypurslane]

Alana thanks for showing us the product clearly and keeping it facing the camera for a bit - I COPY DOWN THE BRAND NAME, ETC. so I can search for it later and buy what you use -- I trust your food choices and also love the clothing you wear, not too glam or pricey! Please do an update on your hair care.

[@greentree730]

Glad your back and feeling better! I have loved traveling the world with your videos and seeing such a different life.

[@jess_hang_out]

❤😊 ur back!! You eat so healthy I don’t think your diet is anything but a cleanse hee hee.!!! I was a vegan for 2 years raw vegan for 2years and then vegetarian for some years and then I just had to start adding everything into my diet, and now I am “ better” mentally, everything in moderation worked better for me , just do what works best for you and what makes you feel good❤❤❤. Try something’s out and seeee how it goes..!😊

[@kylenicholas2957]

So happy to see you’ll again I have been watching since the beginning. I love how you are family oriented. 🙏❤️🙏

[@ellyfouhy]

Thanks for sharing! 🤎 Organic blackstrap molasses is one of my favorite ways to get a lil extra iron in my day (I take it in a hot cacao drink or just a spoon and eat it raw)!

[@merletautz4702]

Hi Alana, I come from Germany and am a huge fan of yours!❤

[@alohadani123]

I love watching you! I’m in my 40s now and my two kids are teens, but we lived on the BI when they were little and your videos are very nostalgic for me. :) I’m glad you are taking care of yourself. It’s so hard with small children, but you will get yourself back in bits and pieces. ❤ Also, I love red light therapy (and cupping). My husband is a surfer and we have been together for 20 something years. I think you are such a bad ass surfer! I’m the beach bum companion haha.

[@kindlykiani2512]

This made my entire day hearing your coming back full speed, everything is so relatable and it’s motivating me to be consistent in my health journey! 🤍 also missing home so i love watching the Kauai vlogs

[@saylorheins]

Hi what song is playing when you are making pancakes I love it!

[@eviemaddox3038]

Sounds like you’re getting excellent health info and glad it’s helping. One thing you didn’t mention is heavy metals. They have contaminated everything and cause tons of health issues. My daughter and I both went hypothyroid at the same time and eventually realized it was because of EMFs (smart meter was put on home and we had WiFi going 24/7). Heavy metals make these things even worse. Make sure you turn off WiFi at night at the very least. There is a company that does heavy metal cleanse called Albini Health, I believe. It’s an MLM but worth trying because the only other protocol that’s safe and effective is Andy Cutler and it’s a pain. Gotta go watch the rest of your new videos … lol

[@JGH2015Sara]

So happy you came back!!❤

[@TiffanyCarline-gz1tu]

[@stefaniehinton7719]

Great video! I’m glad to hear you understand health is a journey. The biggest mistake people make is not paying attention to their labs and immediately thinking they need animal products to improve. Labs are great to check your baseline and adjust as needed. You are doing an excellent job! Don’t give up!

[@lisad6705]

You should watch documentary about supplements. Point is people were getting sick from supplements

[@KateRac]

She’s back!!!!!

[@Lambsear565]

I feel like u need more healing foods not more cleansing. Bone broth red meat would really help n a lot cheaper n better for u than all the powders/ products. I know ur trying to stay vegan but it’s really hard when u have deficiencies n not doing well.. I know after all 3 of my pregnancies I always make sure I have bone broth for healing n I make this Korean beef seaweed soup n it’s the best thing esp for iron deficiency. Good luck n happy to see u back vlogging on Kauai 😊

[@craigieplaysstuff]

No red meat that's a low level carcinogen wtf stop suggesting this crap Alana don't listen to this person up here

[@mskelseymaynard]

Whats in the Korean beef soup? Sounds yummy

[@susiehernandez6652]

I had hypothyroidism last year. If you have HYPOthyroidism, you need to make sure your salt is ionized. That's key as is eating 3 complete proteins a day, which can include eggs so it's great you are eating those. Rice and beans together together can become a protein but it is not efficient protein because several chemical processes have to occur to make the 2 foods come together to make up all 11 necessary amino acids that form a protein. This is why a vegan diet isn't ideal. We need complete protein for the amino acids that our body needs. Amino acids are literally the building blocks of life. If you want to heal fast, you have to cut out coffee, sugar and alcohol as well as rest rest rest. I bounced back by doing all these things every day like my life depended on it because my hair was falling out and I was extremely fatigued and I bounced back in 3 months not completely but 75% of the way enough to where I had energy and my hair stopping falling out and I was no longer cold all the time. These are things your thyroid regulates.

[@freedom_Jesus]

I was a pro triathlete went vegan . Sickest for the longest time. Weak sick fatigue gut issues. As soon as I went to high fat high meat diet my health improved significantly. On meat diet you don't need supplements. sadly vegan diet is a cult and a myth. A good research book to read is the vegan myth. If you baby has sore tummy it's from plant proteins. Eat meat and your life will change. A good research based channel is a cardiologist the diet doctor. My back pain went away on high protein. Vegan diet is the biggest lie sold. With all its supplements based on no science

Your notifications for KZbin don’t work btw. You can’t get notified when you post. So I always end up seeing your vdieos late.

[@AvaAnaliese]

I hope you feel better! I was vegan for 2 years and got some health problems from it. Going back to animal foods changed my life. I would recommend doing more research on the opposing side of veganism and reading the book Deep Nutrition! It's fantastic and totally changed the way I view food. I hope this helps

[@gilstewart4069]

you are a pro in my eyes

[@rocknjock9300]

I know you don’t eat meat. Not trying to change you but your diet. However it can be the reason your iron is low. I have a friend who was vegetarian for 30+ years, supplements wouldn’t work for her & had to change her diet. Look how Makua Rothman does it responsibly. Aloha

[@Lambsear565]

She’s had 2 pregnancies back to back I think she really needs iron from the best source n that’s red meat. I know Jack mentioned he started eating eggs again while they were in Fiji. idk if that was just while they were there, but I’m hoping Alana stops with the cleansing protocols definitely not good. Bone broth red meat fish eggs would do her good n she would heal quick.

[@ellyfouhy]

I live in Australia and most of my female friends are low in iron and NOT vegan or veggie. If you’re dealing with low stomach acid, you could have a hard time getting the iron from your foods to be absorbed properly, vegan or not. Being vegetarian can be tricky with iron absorption as well if you have a high dairy intake as it can interfere again with iron absorption. It seems like Alana is taking the best approach, meeting with experts, getting tests and treating the core issues that can be causing the additional ones.

[@Lambsear565]

@@ellyfouhy ppl can be non vegan/ vegetarian doesn’t meant they’re getting proper nutrition. I know for a FACT nothing beats red meat for iron idc what pills or powders u take it’s not the same n not fully absorbed. I ate a lot of steak/ red meat in all 3 of my pregnancies n Nvr had an issue with low iron in fact the total opposite. N yes, she did mention she started with a protocol from that doctor n it made things even worse. I just hope for the best for Alana n her health journey.. her boys need mom 100%. I know my little boy is a handful n I would not be able to function if I was going through that.

[@reign4723]

@@Lambsear565 I eat red meat, I’m definitely not vegan/vegetarian. And yet I literally have to take Iron supplements as prescribed by my Doctor because according to my blood tests results that I have to get done now atleast twice a year, my body absorbs the Iron supplements much better. Sorry, it doesn’t appear you are right about this one.

[@carl13579]

I used to be anemic as a meat eater and reversed anemia on a vegan diet. There's plenty of iron in plant foods. You just need to avoid things that impede iron absorption, especially caffeine. Having your iron-rich vegan foods with vitamin C makes absorption even better.

Hey, Respect and love for you and your family!! fun video. Hope the health issues continue to improve. I know you're vegan, and this sounds wild, but consider some red meat and beef liver pills, seen great results improving thyroid function and iron levels! Highly Bioavailable nutrition and God given too. Good sources to do research like @primalbod. There are places that respect the lives of the animals too. Anyways be well and god bless your family.
