Prominent conservative health advocate Alex Clark recently opened up on the “Pod Force One” show about a surge of death threats she’s faced for promoting healthier eating habits among Americans.
As the voice behind Turning Point USA’s “Culture Apothecary” podcast, Clark attributed the rise in threats to what she described as the growing “assassination culture” among left-wing groups, especially following the tragic killing of Charlie Kirk.
“Since Charlie’s untimely death, the volume of threats directed at me has been overwhelming,” Clark shared with Lydia Moynihan, who guest-hosted the episode. “Surprisingly, while some threats are indeed from the left, quite a few originate from fans of Candace Owens.”
Clark, who has championed the “Make America Healthy Again” campaign, expressed frustration over needing constant security during her campus visits. Despite her focus on health and wellness, the threats persist.
“I wouldn’t normally be seen as a major threat by the left given my style of Turning Point engagements, yet armed security has become a necessity for me,” she lamented. “They’ve even suggested I consider wearing a bulletproof vest. I’m merely advocating for wholesome eating… Just a few years ago, such precautions would have seemed unimaginable to me.”
Clark called it “a really scary time” to be a Christian conservative in the US.
“I don’t know that in history it’s ever been harder to be openly conservative and openly Christian in the United States of America,” she told “Pod Force One,” arguing that if you’re “a conservative walking around in a MAGA hat, you have such a massive target on you, and it’s very scary.”
Clark, who has developed a massive conservative female following, was also asked about how she’s been able to win over so many women – who historically lean more toward the political left.
“So, I think historically the way to reach women has always been through culture, and the left … they dominate pop culture, so I think that avenue really belongs to the left,” she explained.
“And what we really have is the opportunity to step in when it comes to parenting and health and food and family; those are things that I think the conservative movement can really own, and we can reach women through.”
In terms of the MAHA movement, Clark teased that “chemicals in our clothing” will be a big issue for health-conscious voters in the coming year.

“The thing is that I’m super passionate about, I think that 2026, mark my words, 2026 has really been the year of pesticides. I think 2027, when it comes to MAHA voters, is going to be the year of chemicals in our clothing,” she said.
“I think we are starting to see the very beginning tide changing here on natural fiber and organic cotton clothing, and a big huge war on polyester.”
Clark noted that clothing chemical laws in the US “have not been updated since the 1940s” and that with “the rise of eczema and skin sensitivities,” more Americans should be aware of the outdated laws on the books.
She argued that taking on chemicals in clothes is “an easy thing that the FDA could say that we are going to start doing in America.”
