27. Are You Really Low In Iron? With Morley Robbins

Listen Later

There are a lot of misconceptions floating around about iron.  Morley Robbins is the founder of The Root Cause Protocol and has helped thousands of people find the same healing he has found through understanding minerals.  We devote the majority of this discussion to iron and copper, two minerals that are largely misunderstood by the allopathic and even functional medicine spheres.  The point we keep coming back to is how beautiful and intelligent the human design is.  Join us as we explore how we can best support our physiology through a greater understanding of these important minerals.

In this episode, we cover:

  • Morley’s personal journey of finding healing through nutrition and minerals
  • The impact of copper deprivation on the body and its connection to oxidative stress
  • The role of critical thinking in taking responsibility for our own health
  • What factors in our modern world have lead to pervasive iron overload
  • How our bodies actually store iron and why blood tests fall short in measuring iron
  • The flaw of iron supplementation in pregnancy
  • How copper and iron move from mother to baby during pregnancy
  • The impact of mineral deficiencies in the postpartum period
  • Advocating for a safe and healthy birth even in the face of opposition from practitioners
  • How the birth landscape has become highly medicalized over the years
  • Taking a proactive instead of reactive approach to health and nourishment in pregnancy
  • Making the choice to trust your body in pregnancy and birth
  • Forgoing prenatal vitamins and pursuing whole food nutrition instead
  • Exploring the reasons for the high rate of babies diagnosed with anemia
  • Individualized mineral needs based on melanin
