Episode Highlights With Morley Robbins

What might be going on if you are told you have low iron or low ferritin
Why what’s going on in the blood isn’t always indicative of whats going on in the tissue and what to know when looking at blood tests
The three things to understand when measuring iron: hemoglobin (70% of body’s iron), ferritin (storage protein inside cells- 10% of body’s iron), serum iron (less than a tenth of a percent which actually means copper isn’t doing its job)
What hepcidin is (peptide)
Katherine Philpott MD PhD paper on how ferritin is storing excess iron in the body
Why the amount of iron you need is lower than you think..
The important part of this equation that is almost never tested by doctors and that can be shut down by Vitamin D
Why low ferritin is not an indication of iron deficiency and actually shows low copper and affects hepcidin
Dietary iron vs. recycling iron and why copper is important
What to know about Vitamin D and its relationship to retinol
The thyroid connection and why it is just a symptom of what’s going on in the body
Why low thyroid function can just be a symptom of low retinol
The thyroid doesn't run the body - it responds to the body
What you don’t know about aging that is aging you much more rapidly
Why copper, magnesium, and retinol are the big players in the real story of aging
How hair testing shows us some things that blood tests don’t
12 minerals and 8 metals that show up in hair tests (electrolytes, oxidation patterns, metals, etc)
Things we can take that mess up the way copper is used in the body (birth control, antibiotics, artificial vitamin C)
