Former NASCAR driver Danica Patrick reposted a food-related reel by nutritionist Candi Frazier on her Instagram story. She reacted to the claim by Frazier by sharing her insight on the same topic.

A trailblazer for female drivers in the US, Patrick began her professional racing journey with karting. She competed in multiple European road and open-wheel racing series, before ending up in IndyCar. Winning accolades on her home soil, Patrick progressed to stock car racing with NASCAR. She became the first female racer to grab pole position as well as lead laps at Daytona.

After spending over 10 years in a male-dominated motorsport, Patrick retired as a full-time racer in 2018. Since her retirement, she has been actively involved with several fitness-related activities, such as hiking or running a marathon.

The Wisconsin-born racer recently shared a reel by nutritionist Candi Frazier on her Instagram story. Firstly, here's a look at Frazier's reel from her IG page (@theprimalbod).

"Plants are full of toxins. But guess what? Meat isn't toxic to us at all. We were never supposed to eat this way. Plants will kill us. How many of you will go out in nature and you'll see mushrooms and go, oh, that's food. I'm going to eat that. None of you. Do you know why? There's a good chance you won't wake up," Frazier wrote.

Here's Patrick's reaction to Frazier's plants being "full of toxins" claim in her IG story.

"I barely eat vegetables anymore. Best I have ever felt and looked." Patrick wrote.

Apart from the aforementioned video, Frazier has shared similar content promoting a carnivore diet over a vegan one. She is Board-Certified in Holistic Nutrition ("BCHN") and has been a nutrition practitioner for over six years. Frazier runs a natural health center called 'The Family Holistic' and a lifestyle blog named 'Primal Bod.'


"That's what we need," - Danica Patrick on why Donald Trump is a better presidential candidate than others in the 2024 campaign

Danica Patrick has been open about her support for the Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump. During the Hamilton County Republican Fall Dinner, the 42-year-old Wisconsin-based retired NASCAR racer expressed her opinion on why Trump is better than other candidates in the 2024 campaign.

'I think that Trump did a really good job of letting us know that there is such a thing as fake news. The person that runs this country should ultimately be running it very much like a business. I can't really think of a better businessman than Donald Trump,' Patrick said.
'A guy like that who has been in business as long as he has, he's gonna go into that room and he's gonna get stuff done. That's what we need, a president who is actually going to make changes happen,' she added.

A video of the aforementioned interaction was jointly shared by Patrick and Mario Massillamany (a criminal defense lawyer) on Instagram. Here's a look at the post.

Apart from the Fall Dinner, Patrick was also a part of Trump's Reclaim America Tour and has been a leading face in the 'Women for Trump' campaign alongside Sage Steele, Tulsi Gabbard, Lynne Patton, and a few others.
