Liv Schmidt is a 24-year-old “health and wellness” coach who puts a populist spin on pro-ana content! She’s loud, rude, and ready to take our feeds by storm one almond at a time. Schmidt’s “skinnytok” movement wasn’t built in a day - she is in fact only a messenger for the larger trend of online diet culture that has resurfaced in the past couple years. In a time where Ozempic ads line the subways, Lana Del Rey stans host parties celebrating her new waifish figure, and friends at the dinner table nonchalantly profess their desire to lose weight - one must wonder how exactly it came to this. In this episode, Hannah and Maia ask, when and why did we all stop pretending to be thinking about anything other than one thing: skinny? Tangents include: Hannah being two small people inside a big tweed coat, and Maia’s peanut butter coated bedtime banana.
