The Jesse Chappus Show 679: The Mineral Crisis No One Talks About — and Why It's Triggering Disease! | Morley Robbins
Nov 18, 2025
Morley M. Robbins, a health educator and author, dives into the often-overlooked world of minerals and their crucial role in our health. He challenges conventional views on iron-deficiency anemia, arguing that most cases stem from iron overload. Robbins highlights copper's evolutionary significance in oxygen transport, its impact on cholesterol levels, and the mitochondria's energy production. He also discusses the importance of balancing vitamins A and D and critiques current cancer treatment paradigms. Discover how to incorporate the Root Cause Protocol into your life!

Episode notes
Anemia Is Often Iron Sequestration Not Deficit
- Most labeled 'iron-deficiency' anemia is actually iron sequestration caused by impaired copper-dependent recycling.
- Iron fortification and measuring serum iron/ferritin mislead clinicians and fuel tissue iron overload.
Copper Runs Iron Recycling
- The body recycles ~95% of daily iron needs via a copper-dependent ferroportin/ceruloplasmin system.
- If copper enzymes fail, iron stays sequestered in tissues causing dysfunction despite normal blood iron tests.
Copper Enables Oxygen-Based Energy
- Copper-dependent enzymes (e.g., cytochrome c oxidase) turned oxygen into water enabling efficient cellular energy.
- Copper is central to mitochondrial energy and ancient biological transitions like the Great Oxygen Event.
