This episode is a public service effort by your two favorite podcast hosts, to warn you about the dangers of falling for the allure of so-called "wellness influencers".

About a decade ago, Belle Gibson decided she would capitalize on the desperation of people going through cancer and cancer treatment. Lies, greed, deceit and pure evil ensue in this tale of yet another wildly unqualified individual posing as an expert in the health and wellness space.

There are way fewer things than usual to laugh about on this episode, but if you were ever going to listen to an episode that covers something so grim, you'd be hard-pressed to find a duo to present it better than Bibi and Sibel.
