Alexandra Baldi is a certified Holistic Nutritionist and Health Coach and 200 hr RYT certified vinyasa yoga instructor. In 2008 Alexandra was diagnosed with Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome (PCOS), having no understanding of what PCOS was or the appropriate course of action to treat it. She was MISERABLE, had unexplained weight gain, cystic acne that required RoAccutane, irregular periods, digestive/gut issues, irritability, and awful mood swings. For 12 years Alexandra struggled, some years better than others, but after graduating law school, where her symptoms were at their worst, she knew she needed to find a different approach; and one that was holistic. An approach that would heal her body from the inside out. Alexandra started learning everything there was about eating not just for PCOS, but for her cycle and hormones.
Before long cyclical eating became a way of life for Alexandra, and in the best possible way. Her symptoms slowly started diminishing, the weight came off, her skin cleared, she had regular periods, and her hormones were balanced. This essential health and lifestyle change inspired Alexandra to become a health coach and nutritionist. There she learned the essential tools to further help women balance their hormones through optimized nutrition, lifestyle, and mental well-being. Today, Alexandra is PCOS free
Lastly, Those who know Alexandra know she loves the "basic" joys that come with being a woman- long painted nails with designs, everything skincare and beauty, cashmere, The Hallmark Channel, some may even call her a very "Basic B".
