A FEW THINGS ABOUT ME…
I’m in love with hosting and never miss an excuse to celebrate a moment or throw a party
I am obsessed with my rescue pup Kingston
I’m a Cancer (and totally act like my sign)
I have been plant-based for 5 years and alcohol free for 2+ years
I am happiest when I am in the sunshine
Talking about food and health lights me up from the inside
I live in a little slice of heaven in Chelsea, Manhattan
The way to my heart is through cozy socks, a big bowl of pasta, and quality time
A letter from Alexis
From a young age, my fascination with food extended beyond flavors—I craved understanding its impact on health and the origins of its nutrients. Years of battling gastrointestinal issues, heavy alcohol usage, and a mismatched career prompted a pivotal decision: take control and align my life with health and values, or continue the status quo. Well the status quo wasn’t enough anymore, I knew I needed more. Enter 'Alexis Hawes’ or ‘Why I Eat Plants'—a community platform where I share the simple, transformative solutions that revitalized my health, fostered body awareness, and harmonized my life.
​
My passion for plant-based eating surged during college, where gastrointestinal distress became a constant. Despite exhaustive traditional medical tests and diets, answers eluded me. It was a naturopath's diagnosis of SIBO that steered me toward natural healing, leading me into a journey exploring the gut, microbiome, and mental health connections.
​
Armed with self-education in food industry insights and plant nutrition, and propelled by physical and mental transformation, I pursued formal certification as a holistic health coach at the Institute for Integrative Nutrition. Adopting a plant-based diet, embracing meditation, journaling, completing marathons, and transitioning from a corporate fashion job to entrepreneur marked milestones in my 50-pound weight loss and holistic wellness journey.
​
Today, I'm fueled by a mission: to support others in becoming more in tune with their bodies, purpose, and power, because everyone should be entitled to living a life of health and harmony.
​
xx,
Alexis
