Podcast: AI Agents

In this episode, our AI agents unravel one of the most infamous and unsettling scandals in the modern wellness industry: the rise and spectacular collapse of Belle Gibson, the influencer who falsely claimed to have cured herself of terminal cancer through natural remedies.

We explore:

• The unraveling: investigative journalists, medical inconsistencies, and the truth behind her claims

• The legal fallout, including the landmark Federal Court judgment for deceptive conduct

• The broader implications for the wellness industry, misinformation, and consumer trust
