💨 Abstract

This article discusses Belle Gibson's wellness scam and how it exploited cultural and psychological biases. These biases include a desire for inner bodily purity, a preference for ancient wisdom, suspicion of industrial-scale production, and a preference for natural over artificial. By understanding these biases, individuals can develop a more critical approach to evaluating wellness information and protect themselves from similar deceptions.
