The mineral disaster is making people sick with Morley Robbins. Head to http://DrinkLMNT.com/theprimalpodcast to get your free sample pack with any purchase.

Is your "healthy" supplement routine actually causing mineral imbalances? Today, we are joined by Morley Robbins, creator of the Root Cause Protocol, to expose the systemic mineral dysregulation that is driving modern chronic illness.

While many focus on iron levels, Morley reveals why the real "mineral disaster" lies in copper deficiency, magnesium depletion, and the vital role of bioavailable iodine. We break down how iron toxicity and copper dysregulation sabotage your mitochondria and lead to the exhaustion, metabolic issues, and health crises we see today.

In This Episode, We Reveal:
The Root Cause Protocol: Why modern health issues are often rooted in mineral metabolism rather than just "bad genes."
The Iron-Copper Connection: The critical role of ceruloplasmin and why simple iron supplementation may be causing more harm than good.
The Magnesium Gap: Why 90% of the population is deficient and how it impacts cellular energy production.
Iodine Deficiency: Why this essential trace element is the "missing link" for thyroid and adrenal health.

Everybody go back to copper pipes in your home , boot the toxic plastic PEX lines, copper purifies the water too, they had it right back in the day.

Invite Morley and Dr. Brownstein on to your show to debate their opposing views, please.

Throughout the interview Morley often refers to asking your Doctor.... what to do..or why is a certain Vitamin low in my body...?
Surely he knows like most humans on the Metabolic Journey that 95% of Doctors will not be able to accurately answer these complex metabolic health questions..

Some people are really starting to go to town in regards Morley’s physical appearance, that is ridiculous.
He is very, very fair skinned with no wrinkles. Listen to how sharp he is…

RCP saved my life🙏🏻

Doctors don’t have the training in minerals & most don’t have the knowledge to advise us. My doctor is great, knows more than most! I’ve had to pursue other practitioners like naturalpaths & functional medicine practitioners. No one has enough time to learn everything. I’ve been studying for over 35 years & realize I can’t learn it all. I think the most important thing is that we shouldn’t judge and be open to learning new things and appreciating people who are willing to look at another reason for illness. I have a tendency sometimes to judge doctors, but then they have an issue where they can lose their license if they do anything that’s alternative. What a mess.

Iodine has saved my life. Taking it gave me tons of energy and I could concentrate again!!! Got rid of my brain fog! There was a small lump on my neck that I had all my life that I thought was normal. Now it’s gone!!! I will not stop taking it. I take cod liver oil too!

Rina, this interview is life altering. I feel like you sent me down the deepest rabbit hole of my life. Currently reading Morley's book and listening to ALL the podcasts. I look forward to your interviews every week. You always ask the right questions. You have a true gift. Morley is the real deal. I emailed him a question, and I was shocked when he answered me in just 1.5 hours. Thank you both so very much.

Rina! Thank you for having the brilliant Morley Robbins on your podcast!❤️

This is so important for me in so many ways I cannot begin to describe all that had gone wrong with my health since I was 7 years old and now 69. It all started when I was climbing a cyclone fence and fell from the top where the prongs ripped my left leg off at the calf. I got ganegrene, from that, a year later I had Psoriasis, at 13 that blood transfusion netted me scleroderma. I was also born with hydradenitis supportive. Now why this is important, everything Morley Robbins has spoken about is exactly what I have experienced in all my research and never saw the connection with copper. I have been my own guinea pig throughout the years. In my third year carnivore and in the best health I have been in since 7 years old. I would love to expand my knowledge further with Mr. Robbins. Thank you so much for having him on your show! I also have the book on Iodine your next speaker wrote.

This interview is GOLD!!Morely blows my mind! My daughter bought me 4 of his books for Christmas! Very interesting

I am raising my hand, lol, definitely a stress cadet. My parents both live to 94 years of age and meat was the star of the show, but all of the vegetables we had were super fresh and fruit too, but we mostly went for the meat and the vegetables. This wonderful, wonderful man reminds me of my top functional doctor here in Los Angeles, who says that he doesn't like the vitamin D level too high. This may be one of my very favorite podcast. I hope he comes back.❤ I also wanna say that I have taken a top cod liberal supplement for a very long time and I have absolutely amazing eyesight.
Smart, smart man❤ Dr. Fred Kummerow lived to be 102.

Back in the dark days of The Virus that shall not be named, I discussed low vitamin D levels and their impact on that virus with my doctor. He told me that vitamin D levels of patients admitted to the hospital for that virus, were almost always low (under 30) in vitamin D. People who's level got into the teens started dying. It sounds like Morley's numbers for vitamin D at 20 are exceedingly low.

I love drinking unsweetened baking cocoa with water before bed. Honestly, its become a bit of a craving. Turns out? Very good for you. It's a great source of copper.

I have a salt grinder. I went to the farm store and got a salt block with more salt types in it. I grind a bit into my palm and lick it instead of a bag of salty snacks. Extra minerals, no oil, no calories, no hunger.

Please invite Morley to return. His science and philosophy cannot be argued. During the "Dust Bowl" years created by foreclosed farms, the federal gvt. offered $$$ for farmers to rotate crops. Soil depletion would be eliminated; mineralized soil would produce larger yields but farmers had to.leave HALF ACREAGE idle. They would be compensated and they STILL WALKED!!
