Battling Cancer, Con Artists & Reality TV | Bella Johnston’s Story

🎙️ This Week’s Guest: Bella Johnston

In this week's episode, we sit down with Bella Johnston, a resilient cancer survivor, former contestant on The Bachelor Australia (Season 10), and a powerful advocate for truth in health and wellness.

As a teenager, Bella began experiencing severe symptoms that were misdiagnosed as an eating disorder. By 19, she was diagnosed with a rare paraganglioma, a type of cancer. During her search for alternative healing methods, Bella encountered Belle Gibson, a wellness influencer who falsely claimed to have cured her own cancer through diet and natural therapies. Bella, desperate for answers, followed Gibson's advice, only to later discover the devastating truth: Gibson's cancer diagnosis was a fabrication, and her wellness empire was built on lies .

In this candid conversation, she shares her journey from illness to healing, the lessons learned from being misled, and her mission to help others navigate the complex world of health advice.

Tune in for an inspiring story of survival, self-advocacy, and the pursuit of truth in the face of deception.
