During Sarah's peak of her Youtube career, a devastating call from her doctor stopped the health and fitness influencer in her tracks. The holistic health princess had been diagnosed with high grade cervical dysplasia.

Instead of following her doctor’s orders to have the pre-cancerous cells surgically removed, Sarah embarked on a mission to try and cure herself naturally. Of course, the YouTuber took her one million followers along for the ride, blurring the lines between opinion, advice and advertising.

Seven months later, Sarah declared she had naturally cured her cervical dysplasia. This wild claim catapulted the 24-year-old into mainstream media discourse, and left people questioning whether Sarah’s Day was a 'wellness warrior' or a 'menace to public health'.

* We just wanted to issue a trigger warning as we’re discussing medical misinformation and eating disorders.
