Katie: Hi there, and welcome to the Wellness Mama Podcast. I’m Katie from wellnessmama.com, and this episode is with a repeat visitor, Morley Robbins, who has been on right here earlier than. He’s the founding father of the Root Trigger Protocol. He’s often known as the Magnesium Man, which is how I stumbled throughout his work. And he is without doubt one of the foremost consultants on the earth on magnesium’s function within the physique and the fragile dance, magnesium, performs with iron, copper, and calcium. And I feel he understands this at a deeper degree than most individuals do, actually than a variety of medical doctors that I had labored with up to now.

And due to that, I really agreed to let him do, or I did myself, really then despatched to him the results of blood testing and hair evaluation. And he combines these in a method that offers a variety of information that different checks don’t actually present and explains the way it’s not simply the values themselves, however the ratios and the way hair being form of an excrement a part of the physique. It offers us an perception that blood take a look at alone don’t give us. So this can be a fairly weak episode for me as a result of a variety of this stuff can relate to stressors in our life. So we discuss on a private degree about a number of the stressors in my life which can be contributing to this.

And we discuss in regards to the causes that although I accomplish that a lot to dwell as optimally as doable, there are nonetheless some stress associated points happening in my labs that could be related for lots of you listening. So, really, in case you’re watching the video, take a look at my labs themselves. You’ll be able to see all my outcomes there. However he explains what’s happening in my physique mirrored by what’s happening in my life. No shock I apparently have some stress happening.

However he talks us by means of the information in regards to the significance of addressing stress and what, how we are able to inform when that is displaying up in lab work. He talks about what oxidative stress seems to be like within the physique and in lab work and the minerals that drive liver metabolism and why I’ve some low markers on these, why the excessive magnesium in my hair take a look at doesn’t want much less magnesium. It really means I want extra. He talks in regards to the purpose ladies can are likely to get estrogen dominance paired with what he calls adrenaline dominance and iron dominance and why this can be a dangerous mixture. He talks in regards to the significance of progesterone, however why supplemental progesterone may not be essential if we stability copper and magnesium appropriately.

He talks about how we lose copper and what to do about it. He talks about stress discount strategies and the way they really physiologically profit the physique. He explains why my hemoglobin is low and why my iron is so, so excessive, regardless of the very fact I don’t eat that a lot purple meat. He offers some particular recommendations about methods to enhance liver well being and a few of these markers, together with issues like castor oil packs, quercetin, supplemental copper retinol, and magnesium. We speak about why it was a very good factor that I gave blood. I do know this was a controversial subject on social media not too long ago. He talks about two vital proteins for regulating the well being of the physique and the way they relate to iron standing.

We speak about meals and supplemental sources, how one marker would possibly point out that I’ve parasites that I might take a look at. And he offers them much more causes to keep away from processed meals, as if we would have liked extra causes. As at all times with Morley, this can be a deep dive, and I really feel like a university degree class, and I at all times study a lot from him. I do know that you’ll as properly. He will certainly be again once more, however get pleasure from this very weak look into my lab and into my life with Morley Robbins. Morley Robbins, welcome again.

Morley: Effectively, thanks, Katie. Delighted to be right here. Wanting ahead to our dialogue right this moment.

Katie: I’m, too, considerably selfishly, as a result of we’re going to really get to go deep on my labs. However we talked about with the ability to use these for example for the listeners, as a result of I’m guessing that a number of the issues that present up for me could be fairly widespread to mothers, for example, or to individuals who have some related life eventualities happening. And I’m at all times blissful to be a really open e book if it’s useful to different individuals.

So I’ve a sense I’m going to seek out out some attention-grabbing issues about myself that can hopefully result in very optimistic adjustments. So even when they’re like issues that aren’t optimum proper now, I’m excited to study them. So with that, do you perhaps wish to type of undergo the testing that we did with me so individuals perceive the place these outcomes are coming from?

Morley: Yeah, and earlier than we soar to that, let me simply level out one thing for the listeners. After I began this work, I actually started wanting on the minerals within the hair take a look at. And my mentor, Rick Malter, who’s a medical psychologist of some reputation, of great reputation, he mentioned, what we’re actually measuring in a hair take a look at, Morley, is, Is that this particular person beneath stress, and are they in a position to mobilize power to answer that stress? And it actually places the hair take a look at in a really totally different context when you concentrate on these are the 2 driving questions.

And as I used to be turning into increasingly accustomed to it and the primary couple of years have been very disorienting as a result of we’re used to seeing bars on a graph, and we expect, properly, excessive is sweet or low is dangerous, and it doesn’t work that method on the hair take a look at. However I keep in mind banging my head greater than as soon as through the first couple of years of studying how to do that. However I keep in mind studying in numerous web sites round illness of the month, you realize, whether or not it’s the American Coronary heart Affiliation or the American Diabetes Affiliation or American Most cancers Society, each one among them talked about how stress causes these circumstances to look. I’m like, that’s fascinating. All of them acknowledge the significance of understanding your stress degree however by no means telling you, what does that imply and the way can we quantify it or how can we leverage that data. It’s simply we’ve got this imprecise understanding, properly, we’re all beneath stress, proper?

You realize, it’s 2023, and we’re all beneath stress. Effectively, we’ve obtained totally different explanation why, and a few of them are financial, and a few of them are life-style and perhaps relationship stress or simply the backdrop of what’s occurring on the earth. However we don’t take into consideration, what’s that doing to my minerals. How is that affecting my capability to make power? And that’s an important piece of the puzzle, is how is that this stress that I’m experiencing affecting my metabolism. And the best way I describe it, I feel we talked about this in our first dialog. If we’ve got stress in our world, and all of us have stress in our world, you bought a giant microphone now that’s stressing you out, and I’ve obtained slightly tiny microphone that’s stressing me out as a result of it’s model new. Hope it’s going to work okay, however you probably have stress in your world, you have got oxidative stress in your physique.

Effectively, what’s oxidative stress? It’s a elaborate phrase for rust. And we simply must acknowledge that we’re all experiencing this dynamic in our each day lives, and to various levels, relying upon how a lot stress we’ve got, you, by advantage of your public persona, you have got the thrill of with the ability to share your experiences and information individuals in acceptable instructions. However there’s additionally a sure type of burden that comes with that. You realize, you bought a variety of of us who depend on the caliber and the standard of your data. You are taking it in stride now, but it surely’s nonetheless it’s enjoying within the background of your psyche, proper?

Katie: Completely. Sure. And I really feel like persons are keen to say issues on the Web that they may not say in actual life. In order that positively is at all times operating within the background, for positive.

Morley: Oh, completely. Yeah. So what we’re , of us, is Katie did each a hair take a look at and a blood take a look at. We’re going to start out with the hair take a look at, and what we do throughout the program, throughout the root trigger protocol, is flip the values that come again from the lab, which I’m displaying now. The report comes again from the lab, and what we do is put them into an algorithm that was really developed by Rick Malter. It’s known as the Malter Evaluation. And what it does is that there’s a standard worth for every of the minerals which can be profiled right here in order that we are able to examine the relative significance of every mineral to one another. In order that it’s 42 models of calcium in comparison with six models of magnesium versus 24 models of sodium versus 10 models of potassium, and so forth and so forth down the road.

And so again to Rick Malter’s two driving questions. Is that this shopper beneath stress, sure or no? Effectively, technically, these blue bars, Katie, ought to all be kissing the purple line straight throughout. Now, I would like you to know that I’ve really seen it as soon as. I’ve finished about 7500 consults, and I’ve seen an ideal hair take a look at as soon as. However I feel what’s going to shock you is to seek out out the demographics of that shopper. She was 95 years previous. She grew up on a farm in in North Dakota, drank properly water her complete life. She nonetheless wore two-inch spike heels, not none heels. And he or she had extra power than her 70-year-old daughter, who lived in Houston. And so she grew to become the norm or the perfect, if you’ll. And I keep in mind sending it to Dr. Malter, and I mentioned, what do you consider this? He goes Morley, it’s the most effective hair take a look at I’ve ever seen. However she was 95 years previous, and also you’re only a pet. You’re 35 years previous. Proper. What number of children do you have got, Katie?

Katie: I’ve six.

Morley: Effectively, that claims all of it. Okay, let’s transfer on. What’s the age unfold on these six children?

Katie: 6 to 16.

Morley: Oh, my God. You’re an animal. That’s superb. So, we all know one type of your stress is elevating six children. Now, do you homeschool, or how do they get their schooling?

Katie: Yeah, so I can in all probability provide the rundown on the stress. It’s the one mother to 6 children, 4 companies, after which hobbies after which additionally figuring out actually arduous to final two years. So if I needed to guess, that might perhaps be a number of the areas that stress comes from.

Morley: Yeah. No kidding, proper? Okay, so, the factor is, with the oldsters who usually are not viewing this, the bars for calcium and magnesium are considerably elevated, properly past the perfect. The sodium and potassium not too dangerous. However what we see is that each magnesium and potassium are increased than their companion. So, calcium and magnesium are companions. They’re speculated to be hanging out collectively. And whereas there’s much less magnesium within the physique, magnesium regulates calcium standing, and sodium and potassium hang around collectively. And when magnesium and potassium are each above their companion, it means the person is beneath stress. However we all know you’re beneath stress, proper. And so these are displaying clear indicators of stress.

After which the following 5 bars are the 4 metals: copper, zinc, iron, and manganese. After which there’s phosphorus within the center. However what’s vital for individuals to understand is it’s type of a hill form sample, which is quite common. And zinc is at all times the very best. In any hair take a look at, you’ll at all times discover that zinc is most aligned with the perfect. However what we’re seeing is decrease ranges of copper, iron, and manganese. And that doesn’t imply that Katie’s quick on these metals. It simply means she’s beneath stress. And these 4 metals are what drive liver metabolism. The liver depends upon these 4 metals. There’s 500 enzyme features within the liver, and belief me, these metals are intimately concerned in a lot of these most of these enzyme features. After which we’ve got a handful of different minerals. The boron is clean. Don’t assume that you haven’t any boron. It’s we don’t take a look at for it as a result of they need, like, 25 additional {dollars} now to check boron. So I usually exclude it.

However I feel what’s vital for individuals to understand is that, ideally, these blue bars are all speculated to be kissing that purple line straight throughout, and also you don’t. So then we all know you’re beneath stress. So we’ve simply answered the primary query. Is Katie beneath stress? Sure or no? Second query, up within the high right-hand nook of the web page, we present that you’re what’s known as a sluggish oxidizer. And there’s two varieties. There’s quick and sluggish. It’s not good or dangerous. It’s not proper or fallacious. Consider it as left-handed, right-handed, and 80% of persons are right-handed. And by coincidence, 80% of persons are sluggish oxidizers. Now, it doesn’t imply you have got a sluggish metabolism. It means you’re sluggish to rust. That’s what it means. Oxidizing. Oxidizer. And so to the appropriate of that could be a phrase, power loss. After which we see in a purple field 48%. So there’s a method to interpolate. There’s each a thyroid ratio and an adrenal ratio. Thyroid ratio is calcium divided by potassium. So your calcium is elevated. Your potassium is just not so excessive. So your calcium to potassium versus your adrenal ratio, which is sodium to magnesium. And your sodium is on the low facet, and your magnesium is de facto excessive since you’re a stress cadet. And once you multiply these two ratios collectively, we get what we name power loss.

Now, for these purists on the market, that is known as Morley Math. This isn’t a standard, accepted scientific research of Katie’s power loss. It’s my, I take advantage of my thumb to measure an inch. That’s precisely one inch. That is what that is. That is only a method to consider, is Katie shedding power. And the importance of it’s, after we’re beneath stress, we’d like to have the ability to mobilize power to answer that stress. My favourite definition of stress comes by the use of Mark Hyman, doctor that a lot of you in all probability are accustomed to. He’s accountable for integrative drugs at Cleveland Clinic. And the phrase is stress is the physique’s incapability to create power for the thoughts to answer its surroundings. And so single mother, residence educator, 4 companies, operating from pillar to submit, exercising arduous. And so we’re seeing proof of it in your hair take a look at, and it isn’t that you just’re damaged. You’re out of stability. That’s actually what’s happening. And what it underscores is the significance of the magnesium that you just’re shedding is just not in a position to regulate the calcium that’s rising. Does that make sense?

Katie: It does. And I feel I wish to be certain I’m understanding for the sake of anybody listening as properly. So simply because on this take a look at, it reveals my magnesium is excessive. That doesn’t imply I’d cease taking magnesium or cease consuming magnesium. Proper?

Morley: Completely. Thanks for pointing that out. So I coined a phrase. After we’re beneath stress, we’ve got an elevated magnesium burn charge. So when the physique senses stress, what it does is it mobilizes what are known as kinase enzymes. And the kinase enzymes all have a phosphorus connected to them. And the method of releasing that phosphorus, which turns into power in our physique, there’s a burst of power when phosphorus will get launched, magnesium will get misplaced, goes proper into our urine. And I name it the magnesium burn charge.

And I tease individuals after I see them in a state of affairs like this. I think about you through the course of the day with a bucket of magnesium beneath your chair since you’ve misplaced a lot due to all of the chaos. And as we have been simply beginning this dialog, she says, don’t worry by the truth that I’m going to mute the mic as a result of I don’t need you to listen to all my children. Effectively, it’s such as you’re used to it, however you realize, it’s a nerve-racking din of exercise that you just’re residing with 24/7.

Katie: And that’s why I’m excited to have this dialog as a result of clearly my children aren’t going anyplace. Hopefully my companies aren’t going anyplace, and I like figuring out, so I don’t need these issues to go away. However I feel additionally there’s that optimistic suggestions loop of we consider, we’re informed we have to handle our stress or cut back our stress. However as you level out so properly, stress can be a physiological factor occurring throughout the physique. So if we are able to enhance that, we additionally in all probability are lowering our notion of stress and we’re enhancing our physique within the course of. In order that’s what makes me so enthusiastic about this dialog.

Morley: And that time about notion is so vital that, once more, after we take a look at your magnesium, the primary intuition is, properly, Katie has an excessive amount of. Your query was, ought to I cease? No. What we’re doing, you’re shedding it. And what’s vital is when magnesium is just not obtainable to the physique and to the thoughts, it’s like carrying night time imaginative and prescient binoculars. The world round you will get greater and brighter than it truly is, and that solely intensifies the stress since you really feel extra threatened than you’d beneath odd circumstances. Does that make sense?

Katie: Yeah, completely.

Morley: Yeah. So the secret’s the interpretation of the hair take a look at isn’t as easy. Oh, it’s a histogram, there’s bars, and if it’s excessive, it’s good, if it’s low, it’s dangerous. It’s like, no. We’ve got to actually use counterintuitive considering to verify we perceive it. So I feel what could be useful to the listeners particularly is, okay, so that you’ve, you’ve obtained this dynamic, and we’re going to get to your blood markers in only a minute. What could be three or 4 signs that you just take care of on a routine foundation which can be indications that you just’re beneath stress? Is there any behavior of each day residing or signs that you need to expertise that say, wow, I really feel type of stressed. What do you expertise?

Katie: Yeah, I’d say normally, I really feel actually grateful that for probably the most half, I don’t perpetually really feel the acute stress of the place I really feel like I must yell at my children or I really feel like I’m simply not going to have the ability to get every part finished. If something, it’s extra of I can inform after I’m in simply drive mode on a regular basis, like go mode. And I can really feel that jitteriness even with out caffeine and typically having bother turning off to fall asleep, which isn’t tremendous usually, however sometimes I’ll have an evening the place my mind is simply going and going and going and I’ve bother sleeping.

However then I’d guess additionally some stuff like I see typically my HRV will dip. I’d guess that perhaps there’s a stress element there as properly or feeling extra drained within the morning typically. So although I’m up early, typically I want I wasn’t getting up so early.

Morley: Yeah. So that you’re an adrenaline junkie. You’re residing on sympathetic nervous system rather a lot. Whether or not you’re whether or not you’re consuming espresso or not, you’re, you’re pumping adrenaline, and that’s a quite common dynamic, actually within the Western world. Do you drink espresso, by the best way?

Katie: I sometimes do, often decaf, really, and I don’t do something each single day, so I positively don’t habitually drink espresso, however I sometimes drink espresso.

Morley: You’re operating circles round me. I’d by no means had espresso till I met Dr. Liz. And now my day begins with two cups of espresso, and that’s what will get my engines revving. It zaps me. Nevertheless it’s like I feel otherwise when I’ve caffeine in my mind and you realize you’re the one mother that has bother sleeping, proper?

Katie: Oh, yeah, completely. I’m glad it’s simply me.

Morley: There’s a fantastic e book on the market for people who’re readers. It’s by Michael Platt, MD. And it’s known as Adrenaline Dominance. Now, the excellent news… it has helped 1000’s and 1000’s of… puzzle that only a few individuals find out about, and that’s that an excessive amount of adrenaline, an excessive amount of sympathetic nervous system is de facto arduous on the physique and it and there’s a worth to pay for it. And what most individuals don’t notice is that once you’re in an adrenaline dominant state of affairs, you’re going to be affecting your iron metabolism and also you’re going to be affecting your copper metabolism and the entire function behind adrenaline is we as a species, we’re designed to be in sympathetic state perhaps 5% to 10% of the day. However in actual fact, what’s occurred is that’s flipped and now we’re in sympathetic overdrive 90% of the day. And what Dr. Platt has finished has been ready to make use of progesterone remedy to assist individuals type of settle down, not understanding that what’s behind low progesterone manufacturing is that after we don’t have satisfactory ranges of copper, we’re not going to have satisfactory ranges of ceruloplasmin, which is the grasp antioxidant protein in our physique. After we don’t have the grasp antioxidant, we’re going to go to plan B, and that’s known as estrogen. Estrogen is an antioxidant and estrogen and iron wish to create havoc contained in the physique.

And so then you definately’ve obtained this estrogen dominance, iron dominance, adrenaline dominance, and Dr. Platt doesn’t join all these three, but it surely’s an important piece of the puzzle. And when estrogen is excessive, are you able to guess what could be low within the physique?

Katie: Progesterone.

Morley: Completely. And so what’s wanted to make progesterone is magnesium, an lively B6. Effectively, in case you’ve obtained a variety of iron, since you’re cranking on the sympathetic overdrive, you’re going to dissipate the magnesium in your liver. And with the intention to flip B6 into the lively type, which is P5P (pyridoxal 5 phosphate), there’s a key enzyme, pyridoxal 5 phosphate oxidase, which implies that the physique takes oxygen and places it in there and it out of the blue turns into activated. And that’s a copper-dependent enzyme. And so once you’re in a sympathetic state, you’re going to be accumulating iron, you’re going to be shedding copper. How can we lose copper? As a result of if you end up anxious, when there’s a sympathetic response, cortisol will get launched. Cortisol will increase the manufacturing of a key protein known as metallothionein 4 to 5 fold, Katie. That’s an infinite improve in metallothionein.

And why is that an issue? Metallothionein binds up copper 1000 instances stronger than it binds up zinc. And so out of the blue you’ve taken copper offline. Once more, in regular conditions, we’re solely supposed to enter sympathetic overdrive from time to time. When it turns into a recurring power state of affairs, that’s after we start to see mineral dysregulation. And I feel it’s going to return out extra after we check out your blood work. Does all of that is sensible for you?

Katie: It does, and I’m curious to see the blood work and the way they work together, however I’m then guessing for lots of ladies who could have thought of progesterone remedy, they could really simply want to deal with this stuff and they may not then want exogenous progesterone?

Morley: Yeah, the factor is, exogenous progesterone, it’s a fantastic hormonal crutch. It will get you over a hump, but it surely’s solely correcting the symptom, which is low progesterone manufacturing. It’s not correcting the underlying dysregulation between copper and iron. And again to your earlier remark in regards to the notion of your stress. One of the vital vital issues that we suggest within the root trigger protocol is getting individuals to launch their fears which can be connected to their stress. Oh, how am I going to get every part finished? We’ve talked about this earlier than, however how can we spell concern? Fe-AR. That method you see the image for iron and you realize that once you’re in a state of concern, you’re accumulating iron. And it’s vital for individuals to understand that we are able to take care of that.

However one other method we’ve obtained to take care of it’s on an emotional degree utilizing emotional freedom strategies or emotional launch strategies like EFT, emotion code, physique code, EMDR. There are a variety of various strategies that individuals can use regularly to shed themselves of the stress and the concern that they’re experiencing. I can’t keep in mind the e book, however there’s a well-known passage within the e book the place it talks in regards to the zebra being chased by the lion and the zebra outruns the lion after which it goes to the savannah and it shakes for about 5 minutes whereas it’s attempting to to decompress from all of that risk. After which as soon as it does that, it’s advantageous. It’s prefer it resets its metabolism. What you’re not doing, and what everybody such as you is just not doing goes to the savannah and shaking off the stress.

Katie: It’s so attention-grabbing that you just use that for example as a result of I’ve talked about this on the podcast earlier than, however I used to be sexually assaulted in highschool and at the moment I locked down. I keep in mind locking down emotion and vowing to by no means really feel helpless once more, to at all times be in management. And so I simply didn’t have emotional expression for like a strong not less than ten years. After which I had a somatic expertise that helped me begin processing it. And after that have, I shook for 3 hours and I likened it to love, how an animal shakes. And I lastly processed the feelings, I feel, of that have.

Morley: That’s superb. And I feel it’s so vital to your listeners to grasp that, once more, individuals put you on a pedestal whether or not you prefer it or not. Effectively, Katie’s by no means had an issue in her life and we all know that that’s not true. However individuals are likely to glorify the people who they give the impression of being as much as. However for them to now perceive what you went by means of very, very highly effective. And for them to acknowledge the significance of that kind of somatic remedy and that launch course of is important to revive the physique’s physiology, restore the physique’s capability to make power, that’s actually what it comes right down to.

Katie: Yeah, that’s why I’m excited we’re attending to delve into my precise labs as a result of persons are attending to see I positively don’t have every part good in my labs. And that’s superior as a result of there are issues us to study from that. And I really feel like I’ve properly chronicled a variety of the issues I do to dwell a wholesome life on-line. So I feel it’s a extremely vital reminder of we are able to accomplish that many issues which can be aligned and which can be nice, however there nonetheless could be some blind spots for us. And so I’m excited to get to delve into blood take a look at and this and study from you. What can I do that can assist?

Morley: Completely. And what’s humorous, after I first began doing this work and I’d be doing follow-up consults with individuals they usually have been beginning the stops and begins, they usually have been, you realize, they have been type of getting their life again. After which I’d ask them, so after we have been doing the comply with up hair take a look at, or the comply with up blood take a look at mentioned, so how are you doing? And I should have heard this 100 instances. They mentioned, I used to be feeling nice till I noticed my hair take a look at and blood take a look at. And I went, you realize, typically it takes the physique some time to meet up with the way you’re really feeling. So then I coined this idea of habits of each day residing. You realize, are you getting a very good night time’s sleep? Are you waking refreshed? Do you have got an urge for food? Can you remove your waste frequently? And do you have got sufficient power to get by means of the day to get the issues finished? And it’s what mother and father fear about with their kids. These are the 5 features we fear most about with our children. We’ve got to do this for ourselves and be sure that we’re getting these habits beneath management. That’s actually, actually key.

So now we’re leaping to the blood take a look at, and it’s a dizzying array of yellow and purple. And I apologize for that. However what individuals can see right here is that when one thing is in a black excuse me, is black letters in a purple discipline, perhaps that’s not excellent. And so very first thing we take a look at is hemoglobin. So I feel we talked about this within the first dialog, however I simply wish to reinforce it. There’s three containers for iron. There’s a bucket, a bucket of iron known as hemoglobin, the purple blood cells. However hemoglobin is the protein that we’re , and that accounts for 70% of the iron in our physique. It’s an infinite focus of iron within the physique.

The second container is a teacup, and the teacup is saved iron. It’s a protein known as ferritin. After which the third container is a thimble of iron, just a bit tiny little bit of iron. It’s only one/tenth of 1% of the iron within the physique, but it surely’s a extremely vital one tenth of 1%. And it’s known as serum iron as a result of what it tells us is how properly is the iron being recycled within the physique? And in a lady’s physique, the nearer it’s to 100, the higher it’s. And when it’s beneath that or above that, we all know we’ve got some dynamics happening. So what we see right here is that the wholesome vary for a girl’s hemoglobin is 12.5 – 13.5, and also you’re just a bit bit beneath that sufficient that I’d say, gee, I ponder what’s happening with Katie’s iron recycling system.

And simply to refresh the listener’s reminiscence of what we have been speaking about earlier than, each second of every single day, we have to change two and a half million purple blood cells. So two and a half million are dying and two and a half million are being birthed and hatched. And that’s going down within the bone marrow in our hips, pelvis and the lengthy leg bone, the thigh bone, and at an infinite charge. And so if hemoglobin is wanting slightly low, the very first thing we’d like to consider is, are we recycling the iron quick sufficient and effectively sufficient within the physique?

Then what’s attention-grabbing is we, we take a look at the magnesium contained in the purple blood cell and ideally, this needs to be in a, in an ideal world, I’d like to see you at a 6.5, you’re at a 4.7. So Katie, she’s a stress cadet. We’ve established that. We now perceive what the stressors are in your world and your magnesium burn charge. It reveals low within the blood, within the purple blood cell, and it reveals excessive within the hair take a look at, which implies it’s being misplaced to the stress that you just’re beneath. The hair follicle is definitely tissue of excrement.

It’s a humorous mind-set about it, however these strands of well being, as Rick Malter calls them, these strands of well being are telling us, what did we lose in our each day residing? Zinc is on the low facet. Ideally, it needs to be 100, however something beneath 80 is taken into account low. And the error that a variety of practitioners make is that once they see a low zinc, they are saying, oh, you want zinc dietary supplements, not understanding that once you take a zinc complement, you’re going to dam copper absorption. And it seems that, why is the zinc low? Effectively, the physique is de facto sensible and the liver is de facto, actually sensible. So when the liver sense of stress is aware of that magnesium is being misplaced, we are able to see it’s low within the purple blood cell. The liver wants for sure enzymes. It wants a mineral with a plus two valence. Magnesium is plus two. Zinc is plus two. And so it begins to seize zinc as a result of there isn’t any magnesium and the zinc seems to be low. And what you’ve obtained to do is figure on coping with the copper iron dynamic. Don’t concentrate on zinc. You then’re going to create what does zinc do? It will increase the manufacturing of metallothionein that we have been speaking about earlier than, which goes to bind up the copper, which is barely going to extend the issue.

After which we see that your serum copper is 84 little on the low facet, and your ceruloplasmin is 24. Effectively, ideally, copper needs to be 100, ceruloplasmin needs to be 30. However what’s attention-grabbing about your copper to ceruloplasmin ratio, Katie, is your physique is in stability. Ideally, it needs to be 3.33. You’re a 3.5. So we’re splitting hairs, no pun supposed. However the factor is, what I’m sensing is you want extra copper in your weight loss program and your complement routine. You want extra retinol and also you want much less stress in your liver.

And I’m guessing that there’s a sure buildup of iron in your liver due to the stress that you just’re beneath. And so common castor oil packs could be essential to do. The quercetin is an iron chelator, but it surely additionally stimulates the AMPK metabolic pathway, which is excellent to releasing that iron. And also you in all probability would profit doing a blood donation blood donation a few instances a yr, along with the blood loss that you just expertise together with your month-to-month menses. Does that make sense?

Katie: That does make sense. So I’ve been making notes as you, and I’ve talked about Castrol packs earlier than, in order that’s useful to know that they assist with this as properly. And also you additionally talked about quercetin and donating blood, which I did not too long ago, really, after this take a look at. So I’m glad I did that. I feel we have been texting or emailing that day that I used to be getting blood, and also you may need been as properly. However that is actually useful to grasp that. I’m glad. Because the ratio is just not too far off, does that imply if I concentrate on these issues, that the ratio ought to keep a very good ratio and they need to each get again to higher ranges?

Morley: Effectively, you realize, it’s humorous. I’m usually requested that. Do you assume it issues what I feel or what you assume?

Katie: That is true placebo is the strongest drugs we’ve got, so it in all probability issues rather a lot what I feel.

Morley: I can let you know that it’s going to, however you’ve obtained to imagine that it’s going to. That’s the important thing.

Katie: And also you talked about particularly needing extra copper, retinol, and magnesium. I already eat some meals which can be fairly wealthy in these. Do you assume it could be value supplementing particularly with these issues at this level?

Morley: Yeah. So individuals usually ask in regards to the root trigger protocol. Is it one thing that I’ve to do for the remainder of my life? And I say, yeah, it’s a it’s a life-style program. For those who’re beneath stress we all know you’re beneath stress. We all know you have got mineral dysregulation. Effectively, then you definately wish to be in a daily program of restoring these minerals and these vitamins. As a result of even you probably have a pristine weight loss program, even in case you’ve obtained a community of the most effective farmers on the planet, I don’t assume there’s sufficient vitamins within the soil today to actually run the physiology the best way it must be run. So simply one thing to bear in mind.

Katie: Received it. Okay.

Morley: So what we’re seeing on this subsequent part is at line 19. We’re 14% of your copper is unbound. Katie, I’ve obtained shoppers the place it’s as a lot as 40%. So, comparatively talking, although there’s a portion of your copper that’s unbound, and that’s simply displaying that’s an indication of stress. It’s nowhere close to what I’d have thought it could be with the extent of stress that you just’re beneath. In order that’s a very good signal. That’s a extremely robust resilient signal.

There’s a test and stability within the system. The 2 most vital proteins for managing the general well being of the physique is ceruloplasmin and transferrin. And they’re actually holding monitor of iron standing within the physique as a result of iron is without doubt one of the largest threats to our general standing, our general well being standing. Each of those markers ceruloplasmin at line 14 and transferrin at line 22. Each of these markers, ideally, needs to be at 30. You’re just a bit bit beneath that. However the excellent news is you’re inside 96% of excellent. I imply, having them two throughout the similar quantity, 24 and 25, that’s nice. I’ve obtained shoppers the place the, the place the transferrin could be 20 and ceruloplasmin could be within the 30s. So it’s it reveals an actual dysregulation contained in the liver. That’s the place the that’s the place it performs out. And so this can be a actual signal of stability in your physique. We simply must get extra retinol and copper to the liver. As a result of copper and retinol are important for ceruloplasmin, and retinol is what prompts the manufacturing of transferrin. The gene transcription is in search of retinol with the intention to make the transcription happen. Does that make sense?

Katie: That does. Are you able to simply give us some good meals and supplemental sources of these issues? As a result of I do know there’s a variety of variation on the market in relation to sourcing.

Morley: Yeah. So on the copper facet, I usually inform individuals bee pollen, complete meals vitamin C, not ascorbic acid. There’s a few actually good let me simply end the meals facet. So complete meals vitamin C, after which the grassfed beef liver. After which on a supplemental facet, for vitamin C, you’ve obtained Innate Response and you’ve got Method IQ dietary supplements. They’ve a fantastic supplemental type of vitamin C. After which for the copper, I developed a copper complement, once more, with Method IQ dietary supplements. It’s known as Recuperate, and it’s obtained 2 milligrams of copper along with the desiccated beef liver and the spirulina. It’s only a very bioavailable type of copper.

On the retinol facet, we’ve obtained Rosita’s. It’s in all probability thought of the most effective cod liver oil which you can get. After which I feel a really robust model is once more, Method IQ has a fantastic type of cod liver oil, and so these could be actually good sources after which meals sources. On the retinol facet, we wish to have free-range eggs, grassfed, butter, grassfed heavy cream. Proper. We wish to have grassfed beef liver. There’s a variety of retinol within the beef liver. And everyone seems to be drawn to the tablets sometimes. And I’d encourage individuals regularly, they need to be consuming beef liver like their grandparents, nice grandparents, nice nice grandparents did. Nevertheless it’s a bitter tablet for lots of people to do this. But when it’s grassfed, it tastes utterly totally different than what you have been fed as slightly youngster once you have been rising up.

Katie: And it’s not often fashionable recommendation after I say this, however my tip for that, and I might get higher about doing it frequently, is I’ll simply reduce beef liver into little items which can be swallowable dimension, and I’ll simply swallow some within the morning as a result of I don’t love the style. Nevertheless it’s simple to swallow it and I don’t actually style it.

Morley: Yeah, no. There’s a celebrated weblog, I by no means can keep in mind the creator, however she, over the course of two years, healed herself of each conceivable method of power illness by simply taking beef liver tablets such as you’re describing, chopping them up, and simply over the course of two years, reversed power fatigue and all types of hormonal points. And it was an enchanting story. So it’s very highly effective nutrient in its uncooked state.

Katie: And for proper now not less than, whereas liver is just not tremendous fashionable but, you may often get it cheaper than muscle meats from native farmers. For those who discover a good grassfed supply, I discover liver is often cheaper after which I can similar to a pair packs of it final a very long time once you reduce it up like that.

Morley: Yeah. And if persons are who’s a farmer, I can go to go to your nearest Complete Meals, discuss to the butcher. The butcher is aware of all of the farmers of their area inside a 250 miles area, they usually’ll let you know who’re the actually good sources of grassfed meat merchandise.

So the actual anomaly right here was your serum iron was properly above what we’d usually anticipate to see. It needs to be someplace round 100. Yours was 261. And I can’t keep in mind now, the place have been you in your menstrual cycle once you did this blood work?

Katie: I might search for and let you know precisely for positive, however that is actually attention-grabbing to me whereas I look this up as a result of I don’t really eat a variety of purple meat proper now. And I do know we talked about that within the first one and the way that may not be as associated as individuals assume. I’m, let’s see, I used to be proper earlier than my interval began.

Morley: Okay, in order that is sensible that the iron could be rising once more. Individuals assume once they assume menstrual cycle, they’re considering estrogen and progesterone. What’s actually enjoying out is a dynamic between iron and magnesium. And the iron is constructing, constructing, constructing, simply earlier than the menstrual cycle begins, earlier than the interval begins. After which the physique sheds that blood and that iron as a result of it’s not going to be wanted to make the following child does that make sense?

Katie: Yeah, that does.

Morley: So the 261, it’s slightly increased than I’d anticipate to see it. The factor is that there’s additionally, is there a lot fruit in your weight loss program?

Katie: I do eat a variety of berries after which when it’s in season I’ll eat different fruits, however I usually simply do berries many of the yr after which seasonal fruits the remainder of the time. However like I mentioned, I do eat uncooked liver sometimes, a number of instances all through the week, however I don’t eat purple meat rather a lot, perhaps a couple of times every week. Exterior of that, I want issues like sardines and seafood.

Morley: The query I’d have is, I ponder if the fruit could be influencing what’s known as the polyol pathway. That’s triggered by fructose. Fructose sugars triggers the polyol pathway, and the polyol pathway can affect blood markers. Significantly usually, it could be hemoglobin, however it might probably additionally affect the serum iron as properly. So, once more, I don’t assume it’s something to fret about. And I feel what could be fascinating is you donated after you probably did this blood take a look at, so perhaps 60 to 90 days after that blood take a look at. To the extent that your curiosity is brimming, it could be enjoyable to do that comply with up take a look at and see what’s happening. And perhaps that’s a sidebar dialog we might have. However I feel the truth that you probably did the blood donation, I feel is an efficient signal that you just’re going to decrease the stress of the iron in your physique.

Your TIBC, it’s whole iron binding capability, so it’s a spinoff of transferrin. So transferrin is just a bit bit beneath excellent, however the TIBC is slightly bit above excellent. And so the query that I’d have is she I ponder if Katie, by likelihood, may need parasites in her liver or her spleen. And that’s a quite common drawback for individuals to have, particularly within the fashionable period, as a result of once you divide the serum iron by the TIBC, and what TIBC is de facto measuring is all of the binding stations for iron within the blood. Your iron is excessive, your binding stations are robust, however the p.c saturation is over 70%. And once more, once you did the blood donation, you misplaced a pint of blood, however you additionally misplaced 250 milligrams of iron, which was in all probability a very good factor. It simply lowered your iron footprint inside your physique, if that is sensible.

After which what we see is serum iron. I wish to see it between 20 and 50, and also you’re at 35. So, once more, I feel it’s vital for individuals to understand that there are these three containers of iron, once more, the bucket, the teacup, and the thimble. Your bucket is just a bit tiny bit beneath excellent. Your teacup is precisely the place it’s speculated to be. Your thimble is overflowing, however we’re speaking about one tenth of 1%, so let’s not lose our cool about that. It’s simply a sign of stress in your physique, if that is sensible.

And what you don’t wish to do is hold your p.c saturation. Actually, you don’t need it to get above 35% to 40% on a constant foundation. It’s simply an excessive amount of iron within the system that you just wish to calm down and get the saturation someplace between 20 and 30%. That’s the place I’d wish to see it.

After which lastly, what we take a look at is the markers for vitamin A retinol, storage D, and the ratio of A to D. And ideally, I wish to see the A to D ratio be three elements A to at least one half D. Effectively, you’re nearer to at least one to at least one. So once more, your vitamin A is just under the place I feel it’s speculated to be. However your vitamin D is increased than I’d anticipate to see it. Once more, this was finished in January, so you have got the profit in all probability, of full solar all year long. However you don’t take vitamin D dietary supplements, do you?

Katie: I don’t take vitamin D dietary supplements, however it’s fairly heat, and I’m within the backyard rather a lot, even within the winter, so I do get daylight.

Morley: Okay, so once more, nothing to emphasize about, however the ratio of A to D actually, ideally needs to be increased than what it’s. And once more, you simply must be centered on meals and supplemental sources of retinol. And what the liver is de facto designed to do, Katie, is it’s designed to retailer copper and retailer retinol so it might probably regulate iron. And what’s occurred within the fashionable period, ever because you’ve been born is it’s been was an iron depot, and that’s not how the physique works. It’s not speculated to have a variety of iron. So, once more, all of the extra purpose to be doing the castor oil packs to ease the buildup of iron in your liver.

Katie: And I’ll hyperlink to my weblog submit about castor oil packs for anyone who will not be accustomed to these.

Any pointers particular to those labs on timing? Like, I do know some individuals simply sleep with them on. Some individuals simply sit and type of, like, watch a film with them on. What do you suggest for castor oil packs?

Morley: I feel no matter is handy. I feel the classical use has been to strap it on and spend 30 to 45 minutes quietly. The brand new type that’s come out, I feel it’s Queen of Thrones has one which you can put on in a single day. That’s advantageous. I feel that’s okay. I feel what’s vital is consistency of use, and do it two or thrice every week, particularly you probably have indicators of imbalance and specific stress. Once more, the axiom that individuals want to grasp is that there’s a relationship between copper and iron. It’s like a seesaw. When copper is low within the weight loss program or the bioavailability of copper is low within the physique, there’s going to be an increase of iron accumulation within the liver. It’s axiomatic as quickly as copper is low, iron rises.

And there’s a handful of research from 1928 and 1929 that proved that this was the case. Totally different analysis groups documenting this organic reality. And if copper is low, the iron recycling, the blood formation, the entire blood parts, the heme, the hemoglobin, the purple blood cells, these are all copper dependent parts that no person is aware of about. And we’ve all been educated to assume that we’re iron anemic and we’re copper poisonous, when in actual fact, the reality is simply the alternative. We’re copper deserts. And because of that, we’re not in a position to regulate the iron with the intention to recycle it and rebuild it. That’s the actual key.

After which by way of suggestions going ahead, once more, it’s go to the stops and begins of the RCP, which I feel we’ve talked about earlier than and I feel you’re fairly properly versed on. I feel the secret’s this isn’t the design of that program is to not remedy a short-term drawback. It’s to revive long run homeostasis within the physique. And the homeostasis is designed to create extra power. So for these of you who’ve been on a boogie board, however there’s a ball within the heart and obtained a board that you just obtained to remain in stability on, it takes a variety of power in your legs to remain in stability. Proper? And what occurs once you launch the power? It goes by some means. Effectively, there’s no power there, is there? And so to be in stability, we’d like to have the ability to produce a variety of power to remain in stability. That’s what fuels are, what’s known as the immunometabolism system. The power manufacturing to drive the immune system requires power, and that requires the minerals to be imbalanced, however requires a daily and regular provide of notably magnesium and copper and retinol to allow bioavailable copper to control the iron to stop the magnesium loss. Is all that connecting for you now?

Katie: Yeah, completely. And I used to be connecting some anecdotal dots for myself, too. And I wish to say earlier than I soar into that although, that it looks like for mothers, a very good common advice could be all of us hear we’d like extra self care. And that doesn’t simply imply bubble baths, however perhaps spending quarter-hour at night time with a castor oil pack, perhaps in entrance of a purple gentle with some type of EFT or calming meditation on, could be form of universally useful for mothers.

However as you have been saying that, I keep in mind considering, so this blood take a look at for me was on January 5, and likewise, like, I used to be not taking dietary supplements the week earlier than since you’re not speculated to with these checks. After which I got here off of a brief quick. I began taking copper and magnesium. I had simply given blood, and I keep in mind these two weeks, I used to be tremendous energetic and blissfully blissful. I used to be like, I’d have thought I used to be on one thing that was making me blissful, as a result of I used to be simply blissfully blissful. So it looks like even gentle adjustments could make a giant distinction after we are speaking about this power system and stress. And I really feel like a variety of these components lined up for me in all probability within the week proper after this take a look at and I felt superior.

Morley: That’s superb. That’s fascinating. Effectively, I feel what’s going to be academic for you and perhaps to your listeners is to see what a follow-up blood take a look at seems to be like 60 to 90 days after you’ve finished this blood take a look at, it takes 56 days for blood to rebuild itself. So as soon as you probably did the blood donation, add 60 days to that or 90 days simply to be on the protected facet after which see what, what’s happening. And it’s a simple method to monitor, am I in stability or am I stressed? And if that’s the case, what do I must do? Not simply from a supplemental facet or dietary facet. Is there one thing I must do on the emotional facet or as you have been speaking in regards to the castor oil packs or different, different detox, do I must, do I must have extra magnesium baths through the course of the week with the intention to settle down?

And I feel it’s what’s actually vital is for individuals to understand that the physique responds to stimulus. And as soon as you start to deal with these dynamics of an excessive amount of stress and what can I do to decrease that stress, however what can I do to stimulate the parasympathetic state? And once more, what’s progesterone doing? It’s driving parasympathetic perform. And once more, my take is that what runs the physique is minerals and hormones reply to mineral standing. That’s not the traditional view. Most individuals have been educated to imagine that hormones run the physique and that they affect mineral standing. I don’t assume that’s the way it works, however that’s simply me being a little bit of a contrarian because it pertains to this course of.

Katie: Effectively, I like contrarian considering and I like first rules considering. And it looks like your strategy very a lot goes again to first rules with this stuff after which constructed on that to determine what’s really going to work for the physique. And it looks like the gold normal could be for everyone to have the ability to get these checks and analyze for themselves. Nevertheless it additionally seems like there are some patterns that are likely to emerge usually, like individuals needing extra magnesium, extra copper, issues like cod liver oil could be a very good common advice. Magnesium could be a very good common advice. Everyone knows we have to take care of stress as a very good common advice.

Morley: And extra actual vitamin C. We’ve been led to imagine that ascorbic acid is vitamin C, it’s not. It’s a very totally different complement. And we drive automobiles which have an engine and a steering wheel and 4 wheels and a canopy. That’s a variety of elements and that’s known as a automobile. Nevertheless it’s additionally similar to what the entire meals vitamin C complicated is like, what’s ascorbic acid? It’s the cowl of the automobile and no transferring elements. And folks must know the way ascorbic acid is made. While you combine sulfuric acid with GMO excessive fructose corn syrup, you get ascorbic acid. Effectively, that’s not in our greatest curiosity, and folks must know that. And so these minerals that you just’re speaking about, the copper and the magnesium, actually vital. Retinol, vitamin C. It has an enzyme known as tyrosinase, which is a blockbuster enzyme. It’s vital for sugar regulation, melanin perform. We would want one other hour simply to speak about tyrosinase, however I feel it’s in brief provide and folks don’t notice that the meals trade makes use of what are known as tyrosinase inhibitors. Why? As a result of it prevents meals spoilage. So that they’re frightened about shelf life, they’re not frightened about human life.

Katie: Effectively, as if any of us wanted much more causes to keep away from processed meals. That seems like one other good one, for positive. And like we talked about earlier than I did the testing, I like that you just’re issues that till assembly you, I had by no means even heard of individuals testing. After which it seems like a variety of medical doctors don’t even perceive or would take into account testing for individuals. However as I discovered on this course of, these are issues I can really request the take a look at myself. And I used to be in a position to get these checks ordered and do the hair take a look at. And it’s actually fascinating to me to see this totally different view of what’s happening inside my physique in a method that I really feel like places a variety of energy again in my arms of issues I can do that can probably make an enormous distinction in how I really feel. And that as you have been speaking, I used to be making notes for my children as properly. It seems like for youngsters who’re going by means of puberty, issues like getting them actual food-source vitamin C and cod liver oil could be a fantastic thought whereas they’re in these early phases.

Morley: The 16 yr previous, a boy or a lady?

Katie: 16 yr previous boy, 14 yr previous lady.

Morley: Okay, properly, once more, I’m not going to push blood checks in your children, however the gear head in you. Now that you just’ve been by means of this, you’re going to wish to know the place your children are. I can assure you that, as a result of in case you’ve been by means of stress, they’ve been by means of stress they must put up with you, proper? This tough charging mother is attempting to assist the world however they selected you. They selected you and their dad for a purpose. However the secret’s they’ve additionally obtained to take care of the stress that comes with that, and that’s a part of the method and ensuring that individuals notice that the physique does reply to stimulus. That’s the important thing. We’re not helpless and we’re not we’re not damaged. However we’re out of stability as a result of we’re beneath fixed stress.

Katie: And I really feel like there’s a variety of hope on this as a result of based mostly on the stuff you have been saying, it looks like the physique can reply and does wish to reply in a short time when it’s given these acceptable issues. And I like at a podcast visitor named Kathy Huckabee who mentioned we have to even simply reframe the phrases that we’re utilizing. It’s not that we’ve got illness. Our physique’s not attempting to kill us. If it wished to, it might do it immediately. Our physique is attempting to adapt to maintain us as wholesome as doable, to maintain us alive. And so how can we ask higher questions and work with our physique and adore it and cut back our stress and provides it what it wants?

Morley: Yeah. And the phrase that I take advantage of now’s, ignore the enemies, ignite the power. The physique is aware of methods to make power, but it surely wants vital vitamins to make that occur. Nevertheless it’s not 100. It’s solely a handful. It isn’t that difficult. And it’s simply ensuring individuals notice that they do have this empowerment inside. They simply must stimulate it correctly. That’s the important thing.

Katie: So constructing on that and are there some other specifics associated to my labs that might be suggestions and/or something that might be a very good common advice for different ladies listening who may need a variety of these similar life issues that I’ve happening that could be experiencing stress?

Morley: I feel the secret’s going to be common launch of the feelings across the stress, whether or not it’s present stress or as you have been referring to it, one thing that occurred a few years in the past and ensuring that there’s a self-discipline of not solely having good meals however having the appropriate vitamins and dietary supplements of their routine. And this isn’t, oh, after I keep in mind to do it, that is every single day supporting your self, nurturing your self. And it’s very simple within the pleasure of each day residing to lose sight of that. And the extra individuals can do to self-discipline themselves and produce themselves again to that heart level of what have I finished to nourish myself right this moment to launch my stress, to assist my metabolic pathways? After which it turns into second nature.

Nevertheless it’s actually vital for individuals to understand that they do have management, that they do have affect over how they really feel. And that’s not a mainstream thought. They need us considering that we’re damaged, we’ve obtained to go to the physician. And that’s merely not the case.

Katie: And I like this as a result of I feel when mothers do this stuff, not solely does it change the power in our home and make that distinction for our children and our partner as properly. But in addition, I’ve heard it mentioned so many instances, so many alternative methods of our children usually tend to comply with what we mannequin than what we are saying. So mainly get busy turning into what you hope for them relatively than attempting to push on them what you hope for them. And so I feel to any diploma I can provide mothers extra calm or much less stress or extra good life-style habits that rippled them to future generations as properly, which is so thrilling.

Morley: Years in the past, I used to be speaking with a mother about your age. We have been going by means of the factor and I mentioned, I actually assume you might want to have a daily consumption of cod liver oil. She mentioned, I’ll by no means keep in mind. I mentioned, do you have got any children? She mentioned, yeah, I’ve obtained a 4 yr previous and a six yr previous. I mentioned, Ask your six yr previous daughter to ask Mommy, did you’re taking your cod liver oil right this moment? And that little lady was like a bell every single day. Mommy, did you’re taking your cod liver oil? And he or she informed me, she mentioned, that’s one of many best concepts that anybody’s ever recommended. She mentioned, thanks for that. Injecting my daughter into my each day routine. Make the most of the expertise that you’ve got round you.

The one space for a comply with up chat that I’d like to get to. It doesn’t must be anytime quickly. There are a variety of ladies who comply with you who get pregnant or who’re pregnant.
