Snake Super Health Podcast EPISODE 8: LOOKSMAXXING AS HIDEOUS TRUTH

Episode 8: “Looksmaxxing”Hello.EIGHTH episode of Snake Super Health the POD: a discussion on health for people interested in its edge—nutrition, red light, lifting, musculature, face yoga, pullover exercises, calisthenics, strength, raw dairy, energy, orange juice, black seed oils—but who don’t live there. Or who do. Or people who are normal. Or who aren’t. Subscribe on Spotify, on Apple Podcasts, rate and review. On this episode…I (Snake) talk with my co-host Josh Feola about “looksmaxxing”—the maybe real movement that’s two years old and which we define as a series of exogenous interventions for superficial math-based beauty. We find it to be more honest than most other forms of dark wellness. Are we not all looksmaxxers? Do we not all love our mirror? Is it wrong for a 20 year old child to be so vain?
