Today is a very special episode of the podcast. I’m joined by Morley Robbins, a brilliant man who I’ve followed for years and wields one of the best informed perspectives on nutrition and biochemistry in the world.  He’s a renowned expert in iron, magnesium, and especially, copper – how they interact in our bodies and how misunderstood they are in our society. This is copper like you’ve never seen it before. After you hear this one, you too, will be surprised at the relative anonymity of this truly amazing and multifunctional mineral. We also unpack the truth behind widespread anemia misdiagnosis, the challenge of understanding and deciphering the loud voices of health gurus from all across the spectrum, good sources of copper in food and supplements, and so much more.  We spend the last hour studying my own blood work, uncovering a few numbers I can be proud of and a few others that require further research to understand. The journey of learning and expansion never ends; that’s the fun of it all. 00:05:06 — Getting to Know Morley Robbins Praising the scientific contributions of Albert Szent-Györgyi Praising the scientific contributions of Dr. Leslie Klevay Praising the scientific contributions of James F Collins, Ph.D. Extreme Health Radio + Mitolife Radio EpiEnergetics: The Miraculous Healing Powers of Donny Epstein #138 Challenging childhood and medical inspirations  Discovering the innate healer  Root Cause Protocol Reconciling rigid health advice  Cu-RE Your Fatigue by Morley Robbins Ray Peat on iron toxicity It all comes back to energy  00:23:05 — Energy, Intelligence & Copper Painting a different picture of copper  Starting his journey with magnesium  Carolyn Dean's Magnesium Miracle The role of oxidative stress in our body Celebrating ceruloplasmin The Golden Plow and iron farming equipment Recalling the work of Viktor Schauberger The iron fortification of our food (1941) Iron: The Most Toxic Metal by Jym Moon PhD Iron metabolism vs. sugar metabolism  Metabolical by Robert Lustig Commenting on the work of Bruce Ames Iron in the blood vs. iron in the tissue Iron, COVID, and the jab Energy and intelligence  Copper as the God particle  50,000 atoms of copper in each mitochondria  01:08:37 — Myth-Busting Anemia in America Three most important iron markers in blood work Recycling systems in our body  Why and how anemia is misdiagnosed Course record for iron infusions  Does anemia exist?

When most people think of stress, they think of their job, traffic, tense relationships, current events, things like that. But the root of so much of the stress we experience comes down to a deficiency in one overlooked nutrient — magnesium. So, if you're ready to help your body deal with stress, instead of putting a band-aid on it after the fact, you’re going to want some Magnesium Breakthrough.
