Davinia Taylor #2

[Deevee47]

I was thinking this. Does she think collagen is targeted and will immediately go to where she had filler? Either she’s daft as a brush or just sell sell sell. I really like some of her products don’t get me wrong, but I really wish she’d stick to the science and stop this type of BS.

I love how she thinks upping her collagen “ferociously” is going to fill the dent in her face Clueless…or crafty because no doubt anyone else who has been sucked into her bullshit & is thinking of fillers will now think taking ferocious amounts of her collagen will do the job instead. Quids in!

I actually used to enjoy Davinia’s posts. She was full of life, didn’t take herself seriously and seemed really happy with life. I found her posts quite inspiring as a chubby addict*. I dunno though, it’s become very repetitive and boring, everyday a flog it on the snake oil. I’m super grateful for some of the things Dav has both taught and introduced me too (cold water exposure being hugely beneficial) but I feel now the posts are disingenuous and aimed primarily at making money. I like her and want to think she believes her products will help, but I’m not so sure and lose faith at the same rate her posts advertising shite increase.

*a chubby person that has addiction issues, not a none addict addicted to chubby addicts.

I quite like her. She sounds like she knows her stuff on the protein powders etc. has anyone noticed a difference after using them?

I thought i liked her too. I followed her on insta cos i was a raver from the 90's and knew she was a massive coke head and alcoholic. But.. she's not relatable AT ALL. She is a privileged posh girl that has a northern accent. She has a trust fund that makes your eyes water so if her business fails shes " alright Jack" .. Her views on Cancer treatment is scary!

So,
1. With the dog getting out AGAIN!!.
2. Davinia in Spain having a meal with her family, but taking her time out to tell us that the pissin clams shes eating has more iron than beef or summat 🫠........

I can honestly say......in the words of dragons den.... IM OUT. ..Bored to death of her preaching,and she needs to sort her dogs out before something awful happens!!!!

 

[busylass]

It’s the fact that she’s now promoting her products as necessities. I don’t need to drive a Porche. A Citroen will get me to the same place but davinia insists on the Porche and everything else is inferior. I get this is now her business line but it wasn’t what she was about before and it’s now showing

 

[BaliBarbie]

I’m really not going to take nutrition and medical advice from someone who probably doesn’t have a GCSE and seems to glorify lack of education and simply regurgitates other people. Her stating that we all had forms of bone broth through previous generations is bollocks. What about the billions of predominantly vegetarian people in India who lead long healthy lives? The podcast with Caroline whilst entertaining highlighted the self serving arse kissing going on. And for Caroline to blame boring teachers rather than call out her children for their behaviour is another example of how annoying she can be..

 

[Showmethemoonie]

I like Davinia. But she needs to really think about whether she can realistically keep the dogs.

They are hunting dogs who come from a working breeding line - totally unsuited to being family pets in a four bed house with a very average sized garden, bored out of their minds. She also appears to put absolutely no effort into training them. No tracking collars worn. And they have only just put up a fence after, what, three years of living in that house? How? How is that possible? The second I saw it it was obvious it was too low as well.

She doesn’t even have to do any this stuff herself, just pay someone! She is so, so lucky that they haven’t either been run over or harmed livestock and been shot.

I have used Ancient & Brave collagen, three whole jars and didn’t notice much difference but now I’m getting through a tub by Wellgard and halfway through this tub my nails are growing so fast (this actually pees me off cos I like short nails) and my hair, my roots are needing done far too often!! I have female pattern baldness as diagnosed by dermatology and for the first time in over ten years I have a full fringe, it isn’t separating in the middle like a pair of curtains because there isn’t enough hair to make up a full fringe, the whole fringe is right along my forehead. My hairdresser said she hasn’t done anything different cut wise she just did my usual short in middle, longer at sides, sweepy fringe cut so I actually went into the shop to show her my full fringe like a maniac hahaha! So sorry on the WP thread but there’s a good review for the Wellgard collagen haha!

 

[YoungHollywood]

Sorry but I disagree and think Davina was rude and unprofessional (and she is vain and privileged ). This woman sent a DM for help - that nowadays is like an email or letter, social media is your bread and butter and you absolutely should be replying to them, especially when you charge what she does. Plus as if it’s just her on there, she will have a team helping her with her Social Media so they should definitely be replying. Then this lady said no reply but spent money anyway and the products didn’t work - surprise surprise as there is a lot is snake oil. Davina got pissy as correctly is challenged about the science and proof behind these very very expensive products and can never give a factual, decent argument. She may be privileged enough to spend thousands on placebos but most people aren’t!
And the irony of her telling this lady she needs help…well..she should take her own advice Manic.

 

[rasperryripple]

I guess it’s just a case of shilling to a new market.

I know im probably overthinking but I was looking at her progesterone stuff the other day and it mentioned amongst the stuff it was good for spotting between periods but with no info to actually go and see a doctor for this- just that these pills might help that. The only warning to see a gp before taking was if you are pregnant, breastfeeding or on medication.

I know there are lots of reasons for spotting between periods that aren’t all the worst but I just feel that’s quite irresponsible and concerning.

It’s all about the money with Davinia. Really important not to ignore spotting it can be an early cancer sign and should absolutely not be ignored or self managed without investigation first.

 

[officially2020]

That is exactly what I thought. If she has cut all ties and has no pull anymore, surely Dave Gardner has enough pull with this Beckham connections to get their son tickets.

She’s defo still besties with Meg Matthews and Lisa Moorish. Dave Gardner is also very friendly with Noel, there is loads of pics of them partying together and not that long ago.
Defo trying to be relatable

What I don't get and yes I've brought her collagen and mct powder. Is that every now and then we need more and more products. First of all it was just the collagen and mct powder. Then u needed the oil. Now its brain booster and then something else. When does it stop? And the Facebook thing pissed me off. Instagram is her main social so why do that to your customers who have got you where you are? I'm not on fb loads of comments said it also. But a big launch on fb like why. She is actually beginning to piss me off now. If the original products worked why the need for all the extra tablets she pushes

 

[Fat-tits]

I got caught up in the bullshit a few years ago and it wrecked my gut for a long time, it's only now just starting to get back to normal.

I did the whole fasting until 12 (but then snacking more) supplements and powders, eating more protein, less veggies and carbs, exercising more - it fucked me up big time, bloating, constipation (sorry if TMI but her guidance and advice is dangerous) and messed with my head. Spent so much money on gut doctors and tests, I even had to have a colon/endoscopy to see if there were any underlying issues.
Now I've gone back to eating balanced meals with lots of variety and fiber, my guts back on track and my stomach is flat again with hardly any bloating. When I look at her pics her belly looks very square and barrel like, wouldn't surprise me if she has gut issues and problems, and will most likely get worse on the carnivore diet.

Re the money. Don't forget there's a step brother. She won't get it all. She'll get a nice chunk but if he's got his head screwed on he'll make sure she can't just blow the lot.

You're right, her dad has two younger sons with his new wife, she was an only child when her parents split.

 

[Libbub]

Stupid is as stupid does...both her and her husband are as stupid as fuck.....at what point will one or the other of them learn that THE FUCKING DOG IS GONNA RUN AWAY!

 

[Cosytidy]

I actually don’t blame her for the rant- people are so entitled these days. So some people can’t afford this stuff, well as she says there is a way to make the protein, there are hacks for a lot of this stuff. I can’t afford a Porsche so I don’t go on their page and start moaning about how their cars are out of my price range and it’s not fair. I get on with life and don’t begrudge those that can afford it. People are so fucking entitled these days and want something for nothing all the time.

I get it & you might rant or moan in private but to do it publicly-nope. She then comes across as entitled that she expects people to be able to afford £42 for protein powder, which allows her to spend a month in Oz in peak season.

 

[rachb83]

I agree some GP’s are more focused on traditional and pharmaceutical treatments. I don’t think Davinia is the answer. I think she is a dangerous crackpot. None of her advice is based on good quality evidence. Don‘t even start me on the shite she posted about fasting for 5 days before chemo! She is lining her own pockets with all the powders and crap she is peddling. Agree 100% that eating a balanced diet, drinking plenty water and regular exercise is the only way to maintain a healthy weight long term. Following fads might give short term gains but it’s unsustainable

I follow DR Louise Newson. She is incredible and knows her shit. I'm actually now quite embarrassed I bought into Davinia with her books. I've removed the FB group. To culty and its giving me anxiety
---

It's a really wide area isn't it - I've definitely had my eyes open over the years with medical issues. When my first baby was small I used to give him Calpol at any sign of a temperature, but on my second baby, a consultant paed actually said that that could actually make things worse and a temperature for babies (up to a certain point) is actually a good sign and can strengthen their systems. Calpol 'covers up' the symptom and means baby can seem well even though something else might be going on. It made sense to me. Most of the time I feel GPs just want the quickest fix they can get.
I'm more interested in the food side of things to be honest, I do think we've been sold down the river with pre-packaged and ultra processed foods. A lot of us are unhealthy as fuck, even if we don't outwardly appear so.

Definitely. I'm sure we can all do better with our food etc. I'm really interested in that too just all this constant toxic this toxic that !!!! Its too much

This person needs to get a grip.

I wish that was all I had to worry about when I went to sleep at night

 

[Libbub]

Yes and I didn’t need a 2 week reset, I needed a healthy diet and lifestyle change. Its not a 2 week change it’s a slow steady permanent change, don’t waste your time on it

Exactly this. It's a lifestyle change. Forever. Make it something you can sustain and maintain. I lost 5 stone ten years ago and I've mostly kept it off. The only time I started to gain weight was when I started to be influenced to do this and that.......I took it back to basics and lost it all again. I've never set foot in a gym or done any mad workouts. I walk every day.

 

[YoungHollywood]

She has posted tonight about resonating with ND people being calm in a crisis is she joking?! She was having a breakdown yesterday about packing some cases! Calm is the last word I would ever use to describe her, especially in a “crisis”

 

[BobbySinger]

If I had as much MCT oil as they say in all these coffees , I’d put on so much weight. I think some of the people in the Facebook group think cos it’s “no nasties” they can guzzle the MCT oil and eat a loaf of sourdough every day that it’s gonna make them look like Victoria Beckham after a few weeks

She even said in one of videos about cravings “keep glugging the oil until they go if you need 4 or 5 do it - your brain needs to be fed” …. She needs to calm downs and think before she speaks !
