How to Eat More and Weigh Less with Alina Z
from The Balanced, Beautiful and Abundant Show- Rebecca Whitman · host Rebecca Whitman, Alina Z
Alina Z is an award-winning, Board-Certified Health Coach, Chopra Life Coach, Detox Specialist, and former chef named creator of the #1 Best Diet in America by Harper’s Bazaar. She also holds a degree from Parsons School of Design and a Master's in Communication, blending style, soul, and science into one transformational experience. Through her signature Wholistic Self-Discovery Coaching Program, Alina helps high-achieving women reconnect with their true purpose by transforming how they eat, dress, and live. Her philosophy? When you eat to nourish your soul and dress to express your truth, you shift your inner state — and from that space, everything changes. Peace returns. Confidence rises. Sparkle comes back. Alina’s mission is to help women become the version of themselves they dreamed of at 8 years old — radiant, powerful, and fully aligned. While today Alina is happy with her body, a fulfilling career, and a life full of sparkle, it wasn't always like this. At 15 she left her home country and a $100,000,000 company that her parents wanted her to inherit and came to USA alone to create a life she desired to build on her own terms. She attended a Quaker school in Maryland and then graduated from Parsons School of Design in New York. Working in the marketing industry, at the age of 27 she grew into a position of a VP of Marketing for one of Washington DC's largest catering companies. During her tenure there her entire days were wrapped around talking about, writing about and tasting food! From early morning networking breakfasts to late-night cocktail receptions and galas, Alina barely had time to eat healthy. This busy lifestyle lead to an unwanted extra 20 pounds, which she struggled to lose with traditional diets and an endless supply of dieting books. She also felt that there was more to life than working long hours and making money. She felt she was lacking a purpose. As fate would have it, in 2009, Alina went on a inspirational cruise to Alaska, where she personally met and learned from world-renowned teachers like Dr. Wayne Dyer and Louise Hay. It was during Dr. Dyer's speech that Alina realized she wanted to be of service to the community. She thought that if she could find solutions to her own challenges, maybe she could help others with the same struggles. Inspired by the cruise, in 2010 she enrolled to study nutrition at the world's largest nutrition school -- Institute For Integrative Nutrition, in New York City. The experience was truly life-changing - she found a unique way to health and fell in love with the field of nutrition. The one thing she saw missing most in the health market was FUN! Alina noticed two crucial things: first, food is typically labeled as either healthy or delicious and second, there is a total lack of connection being made between nutrition and the key to a happy life. With a passion for making the connection, Alina's mission as nutrition and life coach is to help you pursue your life passions and discover that food can be healthy, delicious, on budget, quick and easy!
