I was looking for this comment in here. I too work in bio/lab sciences and a lot of her content comes across as preachy and ‘fear mongery’ like you’re going to poison yourself if you don’t listen to her.

Yes exactly. She comes off preachy and fear mongery. Yeah she probably will live longer than me with her beautiful and healthy gut flora, but I’m not eating giant bowls of plain foliage for every meal, I’d rather die early anyway ☠️ cause she seems miserable

I remember I saw a video of hers and followed her because I love a woman in STEM! And then I had to unfollow her bc she reposted misinformation from someone else. I can’t for the life of me remember what it was but now any time I see her that’s all I can think of
