Conservative wellness commentator Alex Clark says her push for Americans to choose healthier food has come with an alarming backlash, telling the latest episode of “Pod Force One” that she has been flooded with death threats.
Clark, who hosts Turning Point USA’s “Culture Apothecary” podcast, linked the rise in threats to what she described as an “assassination culture” on the left, saying the hostility intensified after the murder of Charlie Kirk.
“I could not tell you since Charlie was killed the amount of death threats I’ve received,” Clark said in an interview with “Pod Force One” guest host Lydia Moynihan. “And what’s even crazier is a few of those have definitely been from the left, but a lot of them have been from Candace Owens fans.”
The Make America Healthy Again influencer said the threats have forced her to travel with “24/7 security” during visits to college campuses, even though her public message centers largely on nutrition, wellness and lifestyle choices.
“I’m not really that big of a threat to the left, just based on my type of Turning Point tours, but now I have to have armed security everywhere I go,” Clark said. “I was asked, ‘Do you want to start wearing a bulletproof vest?’ I’m talking about eating real food … This is stuff five years ago, seven years ago, when I first got hired, this would have been inconceivable to me.”
Clark described the current climate as “a really scary time” for Christian conservatives in the United States.
“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,” adding that a conservative “walking around in a MAGA hat” now carries “such a massive target,” which she called “very scary.”
The conversation also turned to Clark’s growing influence among conservative women, with Moynihan asking how she has managed to attract a large female audience in a political landscape where women have historically leaned more to the 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.”
