Like many Instagram models, Alexis regularly reminds her fans to show self-love and compassion, a practice she admittedly struggled with for years. In 2017, she opened up to Cosmopolitan about her battle with disordered eating. She explained that she spent years in a "toxic state of mind," often experiencing food guilt and overexercising as a form of self-punishment. "Looking up to girls for inspo is a beautiful thing, but comparing yourself is what creates the anxiety and self-hatred," she shared.
