MAHA will transcend MAGA,” says Alex Clark, wellness influencer and host of "Culture Apothecary with Alex Clark." After Big Pharma “zombified” an entire generation and put Americans on a “never-ending treadmill of pharmaceutical interventions,” Americans are waking up to the fact that “hundreds of millions of people are dying from chronic disease,” “fertility rates are dropping 1% to 2% every year,” and “we have medicalized the human experience” with SSRIs and antidepressants. Alex says we are “edging towards a society” where it will be “nearly impossible” to marry someone without autism and explains why Michelle Obama's “Let's Move: America” campaign was a failure. “Millennials are guinea pigs in an experiment we never consented to,” Alex says, exposing how Big Food and Big Pharma have wreaked havoc on the rising generations and why she is excited about RFK Jr. leading the HHS. She shocks Glenn by telling him that hormonal birth control affects who women choose to date, why the keto diet can be “lifesaving” for brain cancer patients, and what the heck a “seed oil” is and why everyone is talking about it. In the end, they agree that “food that can't expire isn't food,” and maybe it's not necessary to give our dogs Prozac.       GLENN'S SPONSORS       Relief Factor         Relief Factor can help you live pain-free!

#144  - Perimenopause Symptoms You Shouldn't Ignore — And What To Do About ThemPerimenopause: the hormonal rollercoaster no one warned you about.

Yep, all part of the package. The culprit? Blame your hormones. Progesterone is plummeting, estrogen is all over the place, and testosterone is sneaking out the back door. The result? A hormonal symphony that's more like a middle school band concert—chaotic and painful.Stress, diet, and lifestyle make it better—or worse. But I've got you, we're diving into real solutions, from anti-inflammatory eating to adaptogens and hormone-balancing strategies.

Alex Clark stands out on mic and on camera. The 31-year-old wellness influencer and podcaster has nearly half a million followers on YouTube and ranks among the top 10 wellness podcasts on Apple. While wellness has long been associated with liberal hippies, Clark hails from a conservative background. She's part of the new “Make America Healthy Again” movement questioning modern medicine, backing President Donald Trump and supporting anti-vaccine activist Robert F. Kennedy Jr., who has started as health and human services secretary. For the last year and a half, reporter Kara Voght has been following Clark's rise, spending time with her in Arizona. Today, Voght speaks with host Martine Powers about Clark's rise as a conservative wellness warrior, what's behind the changing politics of wellness, and what that could mean for the nation's health. Today's show was produced by Elana Gordon. It was edited by Reena Flores and mixed by Sam Bair. Thanks also to Steve Kolowich.Subscribe to The Washington Post here.

Imagine being a lawyer for BIG chemical companies… and then finding out they've been knowingly poisoning people for DECADES.

His story inspired the documentary 'The Devil We Know' AND the Hollywood film 'Dark Waters' starring Mark Ruffalo and Anne Hathaway. He's also the author of Exposure, where he spills ALL the details. Today, Robert joins Culture Apothecary to break down what's REALLY in our water—and what we can do about it.Thank you to our sponsors!

On August 6, 2003, Kim Witczak's life was shattered when her husband, Woody, died unexpectedly at just 37 years old, shortly after being prescribed Zoloft. In this conversation, Kim takes us through her relentless journey to uncover the unknown risks and side effects of SSRIs and her mission to hold Big Pharma accountable. As a Consumer Representative on the FDA Psychopharmacologic Advisory Committee, Kim has spent years pushing for greater transparency, educating healthcare providers, and advocating for better regulations.
