A personal trainer has revealed the huge toll appearing on a hit American reality series has had on her body.
Sydney-based Alexa Towersey, 42, starred on the 2024 season of the Discovery Channel’s US series Naked and Afraid XL, where contestants have to survive for 21 days naked in the Montana wilderness.
Alexa lost 13kg during her gruelling stay in the Rocky Mountains – but said she emerged a far better person.
‘One of the reasons I love taking on these massive challenges is that I want to push my boundaries, to see where my limits are,’ she explained.
‘I always thought I was strong, capable and independent. I just proved I am exactly the person I thought I was, that’s pretty f**king cool.’

Alexa was paired with fellow survivalist Milo Miller to survive three weeks in the wild, and jaw-dropping footage showed the incredible physical transformation she underwent during the show.
Her already muscular physique became even more slender and ripped as she mastered challenges in the wild while naked, with her private parts blurred out on the screen.
‘Remember you miss one hundred percent of the shots you don’t take. So this week, may all your vibes say “I’ve got this”, she told her fans.

In 2021, Alexa told Daily Mail Australia that she struggled with a crippling alcohol addiction between the ages of 15 and 27 – and revealed why quitting booze after Easter will leave people feeling much happier and healthier.
Alexa has been sober for the past 15 years since turning her life around after losing her father to alcohol addiction.
Now, she works as a personal trainer and lifestyle coach, practising what she preaches when it comes to the benefits of a booze-free life.

Alexa saidthe week following big events like Christmas and Easter is a great time to consider ditching alcohol.
‘Finding the “right” time to quit your drug of choice may seem like an impossible decision,’ the stunner told Daily Mail Australia.
‘But Easter is one of the best times to begin your journey, given that the onset of spring stands for renewal, rebirth and growth.’
Alexa said the best way to start if you feel you can’t go completely cold turkey is to develop a more ‘mindful relationship’ with alcohol.
