EP301: The Copper Cure with Morley Robbins

Iron deficiency anemia is the most common nutrient deficiency worldwide affecting more than one billion people resulting in symptoms like: 

• Weakness
• Impaired cognitive function
• Decreased immune function
• Developmental issue

And while many of us turn to iron supplements to raise iron levels - Morley Robbins, mineral expert, author of the Copper Cure, and today’s podcast guest, believes there is much more to the story.

In fact, Morley believes iron deficiency anemia is a copper, rather than iron, issue.
