The internet both admires and criticises the health guru

Davis's story was a hit with TikTok users, with many applauding how young and healthy she looks, while others raised critical points.

One user, @Leahdino89, admired:

"She is beautiful."

@MelissaTheNarcSlayer was inspired, commenting:

"I just need to know what to eat. I don't know how to make healthy and delicious recipes."

@KiaBrown was ready to buy the 75-year-old's book, stating:

"Is that book available to buy? I must get better knowledge! What I’m doing has not been working for some reason. I may have digestive issues."

@Meshel63 proved to be a stan:

"She is such an inspiration and beautiful ❣️."

Another user, @cedrichorton7, steered clear of Davis's veganism, writing:

"I'm about to eat some steak right now😂."

@Yuki89 said:

"I respect and admire people who choose a certain lifestyle. I am grateful to her for sharing her experience but at a certain point, I feel like they are judging our lifestyles. Some of us have no choice on what we eat, but have to survive on anything."
