This week on The Less Stressed Life, Morley Robbins returns to unpack the misunderstood role of copper in energy production, iron regulation, and chronic fatigue. We explore how stress, poor soil quality, and modern health trends have created a widespread mineral imbalance—and why copper might be the missing link for those struggling with burnout, low energy, or hormonal chaos.

If you’ve ever been told you’re “low iron” or feel like your energy tank is always on empty, this conversation might just reframe everything you thought you knew about your metabolism.

KEY TAKEAWAYS:

• Why you can’t make energy without copper
• How stress and glyphosate deplete bioavailable minerals
• Why most iron labs miss the real issue
• The difference between copper supplements and true bioavailable copper
• How to start supporting your mineral balance

ABOUT GUEST:
Morley Robbins is the creator of the Root Cause Protocol and founder of the Magnesium Advocacy Group. Known as the “Magnesium Man,” Morley left a decades-long career in hospital administration after a personal healing experience led him to question everything he thought he knew about health. Since then, he’s become a passionate educator on mineral balance, performing thousands of consults and digging deep into the roles of magnesium, copper, and iron in chronic illness. Through his research and coaching, Morley helps people get to the root cause of fatigue, inflammation, and hormonal imbalances—one mineral at a time.
