From the “Chicken Nugget Princess” to a fearless health advocate, Alex Clark has taken a bold stand against the hidden dangers in our food and healthcare systems– and today, she’s not holding back. The host of Culture Apothecary tells her story of how she went from loving fast food to testifying in front of Congress at the American Health & Nutrition Roundtable. She opens up about her journey through birth control side effetcs, her wake-up call with Big Pharma, and finding out thet the food pyramid we grew up with is basically a paid advertisement. Alex’s story isn’t just about changing her own health; she’s speaking up for millennial women and parents trying to raise healthy kids in a confusing world. Stay tuned for Part 2 tomorrow! Healers & Heal-Liners: When the people deciding what’s safe are funded by food and pharma giants, we’ve got to ask, “Who’s really benefitting?” Read the labels! If it’s full of ingredients that you can’t pronounce, it probably isn’t serving your health. Hormonal birth control can increase the risk of depression and anxiety. Change starts with action. Speak up, call congress, and demand better food policies. -- HEAL SQUAD SOCIALS IG: https://www.instagram.com/healsquad/ TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@healsquadxmaria HEAL SQUAD RESOURCES: Heal Squad Website: https://www.healsquad.com/ Maria Menounos Website: https://www.mariamenounos.com My Curated Macy’s Page: Shop my Macy’s Wishlist OUAI: https://theouai.com/ use promo code: HEALSQUAD for 15% off Wonderful Pistachios: http://www.wonderfulpistachios.com/   Alex’s Resources: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/realalexclark/?hl=en  Podcast: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/culture-apothecary-with-alex-clark/id1507839530  Resources she mentioned:  Full Roundtable discussion https://rumble.com/v5fy7bv-american-health-and-nutrition-a-second-opinion.html  Vani Hari’s Kelloggs Petition The Business of Birth Control Documentary ABOUT MARIA MENOUNOS: Emmy Award-winning journalist, TV personality, actress, 2x NYT best-selling author, former pro-wrestler and brain tumor survivor, Maria Menounos’ passion is to see others heal and to get better in all areas of life.
