0:00.0	Alex Clark. Thank you so much for being here. How did that feel doing breathwork? How was that
0:06.0	experience for you? That's something that is a new novel thing, as is raw milk and a lot of
0:10.5	the things you've been exposed to in the last couple of years. What was that experience like for you
0:13.3	breathing? I've never done anything like that. I've never meditated. I've never done deep breaths
0:19.0	or anything. I mean, so that's probably the last thing that I
0:23.8	would think to do before an interview. But you know what? It was so calming and relaxing. Like,
0:28.5	I feel so ready now to be asked anything. Isn't that cool? Yeah. So I mentioned before we're recording,

1:20.1	Alex Clark and what was that transition like for you it changed everything for me everything
1:24.5	that I thought I believed everything that I really cared about. I was doing a
1:29.4	pop culture show at Turning Point USA covering celebrity news, entertainment news, celeb gossip from a
1:35.8	conservative perspective. And that was fun. It was like a really easy, non-aggressive way to kind of
1:40.7	slowly strategically introduce young women to conservative ideas and,
1:45.5	you know, what we believe and all of that. And so it served its purpose. But I personally in my
1:51.1	life, I mean, I was not into health and wellness at all. I actually had one set of grandparents
1:57.8	growing up who were all in on organic food and no preservatives and all
