Healthmaxxing

Sophie udforsker healthmaxxing – optimering af sundhed til ekstreme – som udgår fra biohackingmiljøet. Episoden analyserer fire undertyper: protein-, fiber- og sleepmaxxing samt clean eating. Pointen er sjældent selve sundhedsrådet, men idéen om konstant optimization. Health is not an aesthetic.
