With tens of thousands of followers online, Lexi Davidson’s balanced approach to eating has clearly caught the internet’s attention. The founder and CEO of Lexi’s Clean Living (once Lexi’s Clean Kitchen), Davidson has a passion for sharing that living a healthy lifestyle can be simple, fun, and above all satisfying.
Since launching her website in June 2013, Davidson has become an influential voice in the clean eating and clean living space, and her platform is the go-to food and lifestyle blog for clean and delicious recipes. But the road to becoming somewhat of a health mentor began with a personal journey.
According to Davidson, growing up she used to constantly crave (and consume) junk food and candy. But as she grew older she realized a lot of her ailments were gut related, and started thinking more intentionally about diet and exercise, and pay closer attention to how she was feeling—physically, emotionally, and mentally.
For Davidson, change began after college and graduate school, when she decided to cut out gluten and dairy. “I slowly began to eliminate other trigger foods from my diet, such as grains, soy, and refined sugars (I put emphasis on slowly because I don’t love an all or nothing approach to diet),” she shares her personal journey on her website. “That was the turning point. From that point on I really started to see a dramatic change in my health.”
A change in health also brought a change in pace. “Once I started to feel better and had more energy, I became more creative in the kitchen, excited to make delicious meals with the clean ingredients to fuel my body,” shared Davidson in an interview with Room & Board.
These days, Davidson is happy to share that she doesn’t struggle with gut issues, has more energy, and overall feels pretty great, healthy, and happy. She has also found a path of comfort and healing in mindfulness, mediation, and yoga practices. And with more energy to spare, Davidson also finds time to share her experience with others.
“I began to realize there were likely many people out there struggling to heal various ailments or just wanting to be healthier, which I’d come to realize could be done through eating real food,” she explains. “This motivated me to reach out and share my clean eating experiences, hoping they could be of help to others.”
According to Davidson, Lexi’s Clean Kitchen evolved from there, as a place where she can help others create an approachable and realistic cleaner lifestyle, create and test delicious recipes, share cleaner and safer products, and interact with readers on a daily basis. “I couldn’t be happier and more grateful for this little corner of the Internet that I have since built,” says Davidson.
Her website will provide you with a constant source of knowledge and inspiration to adopt a healthier lifestyle – one step at a time. We also encourage you to follow her on social media, starting with Instagram.
