Episode Details

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.
