Do Dietitians and Other Health Care Professionals Recommend Alkaline Diets?

No. Studies of alkaline diet are limited to animal and test tube trials. There's no scientific evidence at this time that alkaline diets are beneficial to humans.
Didn't seem like the video was recommending an alkaline diet at all.

The video said that North American eating is often much too acidic. Seemed like it was suggesting a balanced diet that included both acidic forming and alkaline forming foods instead of simply the acidic ones.

Basically it was saying don't OD on diet soda, coffee, etc, instead make sure you have some veggies and fruits in combination with the animal products/dairy, etc.

Not sure how you can find that particularly wacky advice.
