In Episode 023 of A Medicinal Mind:
Wisdom and Wellbeing, I plunge head first into the world of
inorganic chemistry, minerals and metals with the man known
affectionately as the “Magnesium Man”: Morley Robbins.
Morley is one of the foremost experts on Magnesium’s role in the
body, as well as the delicate dance that this “Conductor of the
Orchestra of Minerals” plays with Calcium. Morley has also recently
feverently explored the body’s dynamic regulation of
Copper<>Iron Metabolism and its relation to multiple chronic
disease states.
As a certified health coach, Morley has specialized expertise in
interpreting mineral metabolism, particularly as impacted by
“Stressors!” that are revealed in both HTMAs (Hair Tissue Mineral
Analysis) and a specialized blood panel that he devised. He has now
performed over 4,500 one-on-one consultations with clients around
the world.
In 2012, Morley founded the Magnesium Advocacy Group (http://gotmag.org). Shortly thereafter, he
created the Magnesium Advocacy Group on Facebook as way to further
spread his research regarding the innumerable roles of magnesium in
the body as well as the delicate balance or imbalance of iron,
copper and magnesium.
Today’s conversation is one not meant for a single listening, but
rather for a series of inquiries as we collectively open to the
mysteries of human mineral metabolism.
Digging in quickly, we explore some basics behind mineral
metabolism, who are the main players, what is magnesium responsible
for in the first place? How about Fe? Copper?
As Morley sheds light on the intricate regulation of these
minerals, we begin to uncover the all too frequent scenario of
chronic inflammation and increasing oxidative stress and its
relation to relative iron overload, as well as copper and magnesium
deficiency.
Getting a little gritty, we begin to ask some interesting questions
such as
What are the implications of the modern lifestyle on magnesium
metabolism and overall health?
Is iron overload and the associated oxidative burden more common
than we thought and does iron overload pose a greater threat than
is currently espoused.
Is iron fortification really helping us?
And what in the world is copper deficiency anemia?
I really hope you take the time to listen to this podcast, possibly
in bit sized chunks or on a couple occasions to really tackle some
of the ideas and concepts presented by Morley and myself. As you
will hear in the episode, I am already planning to have Morley back
on the show to get even more into the weeds of mineral metabolism
and human health.
I encourage you to check out the links on the podcast page as
well to read more about Morley’s work and some of his additional
discussions on the topics of magnesium, iron and copper
metabolism
We thank you guys for tuning in and as always appreciate
your support. As we move
into the Fall season, we express our gratitude for your presence
and for your choice to spend some of precious moments in your
day with us.
We hope you enjoy the show!
