If you haven’t listened to that first episode, I highly recommend doing so before jumping in here (it is episode 145 from May 7). Now that we have a bit more insight … .it seemed high-time to record this second episode. ...

Rachael exposes Belle Gibson, an Australian convicted scammer and pseudoscience advocate, and gives her a diagnoses that might stick - Munchausen by media. Belle authored "The Whole Pantry" mobile app and its companion cookbook cashing in on her snake oil cancer cures all under the ruse that she had naturally cured herself of inoperable stage 4 brain cancer.

Rachael lays down the framework for the biggest wellness Con in the game, Belle Gibson. A woman who claimed her diet cured her of stage four brain cancer and she certainly did not have a malignant tumor anymore... but the thing is... she never did.

If you’ve listened to her episodes I’ve become heavily invested in and have been silently researching on the side until I can uncover more on what I believe to be a connection, it’s just no coincidence the elements that line up in...

Trigger Warning - Teal Swan's advice on suicide is well.... more than concerning... it almost possesses a taunting connotation. Please advise - listen with care and if you're in a dark place - this may not be the episode for you. We love you!
