Episode notes

The importance of copper and vitamin A in our diets from an evolutionary perspective, their interconnection, and the difference between beta carotene and retinol in terms of biological activity. The chapter also highlights the nutrient density of meat compared to plant-based foods and the challenges of achieving the same nutrient intake with a vegan or vegetarian diet.

This week, Paul talks for Morley Robbins, creator and founder of The Root Cause Protocol and the Magnesium Advocacy Group, self-taught mineral expert, and author of [Cu]re Your Fatigue: The Root Cause and How to Fix It on Your Own. Paul and Morley do a deep dive into Magnesium, Copper and Iron and how deficiencies of these minerals may be linked to chronic disease.
