What model of health? You don’t really know anything about her health since you don’t have access to her medical charts lmao

I had no idea she was anything besides a tiktok creator. How cool to see her in a Ted stage!
Bri Bernhardt

I really liked her because I’m also black and love foraging, have been doing it for a couple years now, and excited to learn more. but she heavily claims to be vegan and then has bashed us vegans on her tiktoks….sooo…. that’s where I draw the line. I don’t associate with people who lie for monetary value.
