Conservative health and wellness influencer Alex Clark has reported receiving a surge of death threats following the recent murder of fellow conservative figure Charlie Kirk. Clark, who hosts the “Culture Apothecary” podcast under the Turning Point USA umbrella, spoke about the threats during an appearance on the “Pod Force One” podcast, describing the heightened risks she faces due to her public health advocacy.

Clark attributed the increase in threats to what she described as an “assassination culture” prevalent among political opponents, noting that while some threats have come from left-leaning individuals, a significant number have also originated from supporters of prominent conservative commentator Candace Owens. Despite focusing her message on promoting better dietary habits, Clark said she now requires armed security when speaking on college campuses and has been advised to consider wearing a bulletproof vest for personal safety.

“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. She highlighted the contrast with earlier years in her career, noting that the level of hostility she faces today was inconceivable five to seven years ago. Clark described the current environment as “a really scary time” for openly Christian conservatives, emphasizing the vulnerability of conservative individuals who visibly express their political beliefs.

Clark’s audience includes a large number of conservative women, a demographic she said the political right has been able to engage by focusing on issues like parenting, health, food, and family values. She suggested that while the cultural sphere remains largely dominated by left-leaning influences, the conservative movement has an opportunity to connect with women through these specific themes.

Looking ahead, Clark indicated that concerns about chemicals in clothing will become a significant issue among health-conscious voters in 2027, following her observation that 2026 has been marked by increased attention to pesticides. She pointed to the outdated nature of U.S. regulations on textile chemicals, which she said have not been updated since the 1940s, and tied this regulatory gap to a rise in skin conditions such as eczema and other sensitivities. Clark argued that addressing chemical safety in clothing is a straightforward regulatory step that could be undertaken by the Food and Drug Administration.

Clark’s comments highlight growing tensions around political discourse within the conservative community and suggest forthcoming policy debates in areas related to public health and consumer safety.
