About this listen
In this episode, we chronicle the meteoric rise and spectacular fall of the woman who built a global empire—"The Whole Pantry"—on a lie. A lie about having terminal brain cancer and healing herself with a healthy diet. We'll uncover the intricate web of deceit she spun, fooling millions of followers, major corporations, and even charities she promised to support.
But this isn't just one person's story. It's a deep dive into the psychology of deception—exploring conditions like Munchausen syndrome—and a searing look at the unregulated world of influencer accountability. How does health misinformation like this go viral, and what does the new Netflix series about her say about our fascination with scammers?
Stick with us to the very end to hear the one simple question from a journalist that made Belle Gibson's entire wellness empire crumble in an instant.
This is a masterclass in modern deception and a cautionary tale for the digital age. Subscribe, share this with anyone who's ever bought into a wellness trend, and let's talk about how to protect ourselves from the next big lie.
