Wellness Influencers: Do they do more harm than good?

from The Swanston Explainer · host The Swanston Explainer

For years social media influencers have posted their advice and healthy recipes to help people engage with their physical health. However, sometimes influencers are not who they say they are and most likely can't offer professional medical advice. Our podcast will delve into the dangers of listening to online health information and Belle Gibson's horrific impact on those suffering from cancer. As Netflix's hit show Apple Cider Vinegar re-opened the disturbing conversation about trusting online health influencers, we will unpack Gibson's cancer lie and how to go about listening to online medical advice.Host: Nicole ManolitsasReporter: Ella RusmirProducer: Rebecca MurphySeries Producer: Alexandra MulcasterExecutive Producers: Kate Arnott and Janak Rogers
