Cu-RE Your Fatigue: The Root Cause and How To Fix It On Your Own
The leading cause of death on Planet Earth is Metabolic Syndrome. Some 40% of all Earthlings now suffer from this condition which covers the gamut of Heart Disease, Cancer, Neurodegeneration, Liver disease, and PCOS. What is worth knowing is that ALL of these and related conditions start with Fatigue, known in scientific circles as "energy deficiency."40% of the Earth's population has a formal clinical diagnosis that their mitochondria cannot make adequate levels of energy.[Cu]re Fatigue is a book devoted to educating the masses and their doctors exactly how and why this is happening. Our mitochondria make energy by a series of enzymes to work synergistically to create ATP, the cellular currency of energy. These mitochondrial enzyme reactions rely on minerals that are easily lost to stress. This book explains these concepts, how these challenges can be overcome and introduces the reader to a simple, proven Root Cause Protocol that is designed to generate more energy and end fatigue.This book is designed for those seeking the truth in human metabolism and those wanting to take back control of their health. It is one part textbook and one part user's guide based on a decade of research and client experience.

This book only didn't get 5 stars because it felt compelled to include a section on the overly trendy intermittent fasting which drives me batty (why does EVERY nutrition book have to promote this?? It's not scientifically proven or beneficial to women). Otherwise a fantastic look at the science behind iron deficiency and energy production.

Although I have not completely finished this book, it is definitely a book I want to give a copy to nearly every single person I know. Morley's work has completely opened my eyes to the importance of minerals in our body, and the correlation between iron, copper, and magnesium and the need of Retinol, (Vit A) found only in animal products to help everything thing work together. Morley said we have been misled and misfed, and I couldn't agree more. Some of my biggest take aways are there is NO such thing as anemia. If you have low hemoglobin, then you have your iron locked into your tissues, and it is unable to be recycled. We actually only need 1 mg of iron a day, and the other 24 mg should be recycled in our body. If that is not happening, it is because you do not have enough copper. Vitamin D is rat poison. After listening to a podcast with Morley a year ago, I threw all of my vitamin d out. Zinc is also not good to supplement as it depletes copper, which is the battery of your cells! If you don't have copper, you can not make energy!! As you can see, lots to process and think about, but Morley's book is not to be missed!
And on ending the book--I still feel the same. I think this really is the missing piece of why so many people are struggling with health issues. Who knew!

The Root Cause Protocol is something I already follow. Reading this book gave me more insight into the research and reasoning that backs this protocol. While I enjoyed the book, I think it could have been organized and written more effectively. Be that as it may, I am a firm believer in Morley's methodology. He backs everything he says with actual bodily mechanisms and research. Basically, take more magnesium, eat beef liver, and stop taking calcium, iron, zinc, Vitamin D, and all synthetic vitamins. Get your vitamins from food sources rather than the lab, as lab-created vitamins are not bio-identical and will bring about bodily disfunction. Eat foods found in an Ancestral diet heavy on animal protein, and devoid of sugar, grains, and seed oils. Copper is the underlying component that needs to be optimized and increased because it is central to an overwhelming number of fundamental bodily processes, and key to a long healthy life. The first step in protecting copper is by increasing magnesium. My health has definitely taken a turn for the better after following all of the stops and starts listed in the protocol.

I wanted to love this book, I really did. But it was incredibly repetitive, discursive, and poorly edited. That said I did learn that doctors know nothing of this material, which he must have repeated 25 times. Ok we get it, doctors suck.

Morley roots his theory in evolutionary assumptions which I don't share, which causes me to read with a degree of skepticism throughout. With that said, the heart of the theory revolves around how the body uses copper and iron, and it appears to be well-grounded in research-derived data. (Insofar as I can tell. What information he presents that I'm already familiar with seems accurate. As for the rest of it...it seems to be well-sourced and logical, from what I can tell based on his presentation of it.)
The Root Cause Protocol that results makes a lot of sense, and is highly practical.
I do, however, have some questions about his aversion to vitamin C and D supplementation. On these subtopics I'm less convinced his information is complete and his conclusions fully accurate. While I do believe they contain truth, many of his observations aren't consistent with the way I've seen supplementation of these substances approached, and I suspect the truth is somewhere between what Morley presents and the "common" way of doing things. I'd like to see more detail about how these supplements supposedly differ from "natural" sources and how to reconcile his claims with conflicting claims I've seen in my own research -- but that's probably more than most readers are interested in and beyond the scope of the book.

I have appreciated taking advantage of all the free content Morley has provided via his Facebook group and webinars, and was excited for this book so that I could see all the information put together in a logical sequence.
The ghostwriter did a great job writing in Morley's voice.
While I didn't care for or understand all the biochemistry, I nevertheless appreciated that everything was explained in such great detail. Morley's vast knowledge of this subject is so evident as is his passion for it.

PHEW! Almost a year of reading! But I took it slow because it was SUCH a rich book of info. Such good info for those wanting to read about what’s actually going on with low iron levels in the body, whether you should take vitD or vitA, how to heal chronic fatigue, inflammation in the body, etc, etc, etc. SO GOOD! His personality def comes through and he is quite funny and dramatic (tho appropriately so with the lies we are fed about what “health” is!) anyone looking to dive into health would benefit greatly from this book.
April 10, 2022
It’s heavy on the biochemistry, which I appreciate for validity but I skimmed through that section to get to the practical steps. I’m eager to track my progress as I implement this into my life and see what develops. It is encouraging to see how this overlapped with other resources (Weston A Price, etc) I’ve read and see it all kinda confirm one another rather than contradict.

Definitely recommend this if you are in the least bit interested about how our health is impacted by the things of this world, be it diet or environment. This book changed my outlook on health in general!

Important book
This will change your life and improve your health, be sure to incorporate the root cause protocol for life .

Morley Robbins is absolutely brilliant. His research and compilation of studies is like nothing I've ever read before, and I've read countless books and participated in numerous lectures as a Holistic Health Coach. Conventional Medicine knows NONE of this because they are not taught any of this critical work in Medical School, and unfortunately, Naturopaths and most Functional Medicine doctors & practitioners are also not taught these fundamentals. Most medical professionals simply do not understand the most critical piece of the puzzle is that Copper is the Commander-in-Chief (but only when it is bio-available in the body), and is the ONLY force on this earth that can regulate iron, which drives inflammation and dis-ease in our bodies when it is not regulated. Morley sets the record straight & exposes the myths that we were all told to believe. Read this book with an open mind and without prejudice and you will never look at health through the same lens again.

The lies we’ve been told!!
Wonder why every time you have dis-ease you get a prescription instead of directions on truly healing your body? Wonder why we live in a diabetic, obese world and the numbers keep rising. Wonder why it costs $72m to bring a new drug to market but your doctor doesn’t tell you about eating whole foods, minerals and direct sunlight to improve your symptoms? This is an eye-opening book on why the worlds health is where it is today. How “science” backed by big pharma dollars has buried evidence that disagrees with their claims. If you really want answers to ailments, read this book with an open mind. It may make you furious, but it can make you live healthier longer. Great read!

This book is an eye opener!
This is a must own book if you are in the medical field or in holistic or naturopathic medicine or a parent looking over your family’s health or someone who wants to take your own health matters in your own hands. THIS BOOK IS FOR EVERYONE!!
I took my time reading this book, not because it was hard to understand but because there is so much information. There’s a lot to take in and chew on. What I really appreciated was the information backing up Morley’s claims.
Seriously. JUST BUY THE BOOK!

It was ok, but this guy promotes his health protocol so you cam be his client and I don’t like that because he keeps repeating his protocol. He has some good information new to me though but some of them I already know.

An in depth summation of The Root Cause Protocol.
Absolutely a must read for anyone either on the Protocol and wanting more depth, or for those who are teetering on the edge of starting it.
It adds so much more to WHY and HOW Morley came to the protocol.

I’ve followed Morely’s work for a few years. I’ve heard him on podcasts and read a lot of his information online. I was excited to read this book and get a little more in-depth. Such a good read and highly recommend! I love how he debunks the mainstream narratives.

One million stars!!! This book is GOLD.

Although the biochemistry was interesting, this book is VERY repetitive and promotes a lot of supplements based in mostly animal-based research.

My nutritionist recommended this book to me last year. It has become one of the ways in which I've begun to OWN my health and realize I can't and shouldn't rely solely on care providers, even the best, most knowledgeable ones. I can and should take charge of my own health by learning, researching, implementing, and working with my care providers instead of taking their recommendations as law until I'm told otherwise. I've spent too many years waiting on care providers to show me the next step in my health journey when I had the power to make a change myself.
It took me quite a while to wade through this audiobook. But boy was it worth the discipline. There is SO much knowledge and understanding about the WHY behind various health conditions, how certain supplements affect the body, etc. I plan to purchase a hard copy of this book for further review and to use as a jumping off point for further research.
While this book can feel very "heady" or "dry" at times, I feel like that's one of its biggest proofs that what it has to say is probably quite valid. It's not trying to sell anything or use marketing to convince you of anything. Rather it uses science and experience to reveal what we should've been taught all along.
I definitely don't fully understand how it all works and I may not even fully follow his recommended "stops" and "starts," but I'm now on a journey to more deeply grasp the science shared in this book as well as learn more elsewhere for my health and that of my loved ones.
I have already recommended this book to family and friends. I can't wait to see the benefits take hold in my life and those of others!

Este libro también lo leí porque ya no podía con el cansancio crónico y también fue porque sigo posts en instagram, hay uno que se llama "mineral shaman" (ya sé) que habla de este "root cause protocol" que trata de que la desmineralización del cuerpo es la causa de enfermedades y fatiga.
Este libro es bastante complicado porque habla en términos científicos y celulares de como funciona la producción de energía en la mitocondria pero pues es justo para tratar de hacer accesible el protocolo y como funciona suplementar la alimentación con los minerales correctos y no los multivitaminicos que llegan a hacer más mal que bien.
Ya llevo varias semanas iniciando el protocolo con electrolitos (sodio y potasio en jugo de naranja) y me he sentido mucho más hidratada, y hace poco empecé a tomar magnesio, ya solo con estas tres cosas me he sentido con mucha más energía, sin necesidad de tomar tanto café para poder funcionar y me da gusto. La verdad no creo seguir el protocolo al pie de la letra pero me gustó medio entender como funciona la energía en el cuerpo aunque es muy complicado y seguro no entendí ni la mitad.
El autor cita muchos estudios científicos pero hubiera sido mejor que tuviera un editor o una editorial porque a veces su forma de escribir es muy... no sé, hace juegos de palabras medio chafas y el libro no tiene todas las referencias bibliográficas al final, las tiene metidas en el texto. Llega a ser repetitivo y un poco desordenado y culpo al selfpublishing, pero bueno, la información me parece valiosa.

A book every physician and layperson needs to read.
I've been working in the medical field since age 18 doing autopsies at UCSF. I eventually became a pathologist, internist, homeopath, acupuncturist, allergist and a functional medicine and environmedicine doctor. This is one of the most important medical books I have read. The author is right. This knowledge is not taught in medical schools or residency. It is also not taught at holistic medical conferences. I was hoping he would mention if wearing pure copper bracelets and necklaces would increase bioavailable copper. I wear these and my skin underlying the copper is blue. He also did not mention copper sebacate, and which chelated coppers are the best bioavailable.

What can I say that hasn’t already been said? Robbins is so knowledgeable. And everything he writes about just makes so much sense. I am so thankful for this simple, yet profound content he provided us. I’m certain that, if put into practice, the results will not fail to show.
Robbins invested hours of research into bringing this book to life. He saved us so much time and yet this feels like just scratching the surface. Personally, I love this subject so much and am looking forward to going into more details. It’s amazing to know and be able to understand how the body works and what can we do to support it in order to stay healthy and live life more fully.

Wow!!! There's me sat with chronic illnesses including CF and taking vit d , c, etc, thinking I'm doing my best!!! Angry is an understatement. Now, I can start getting well by incorporating the protocol along with a carnivore diet. All vitamins binned. Since going carnivore, I have got the deepest of tans in all my 53 years. No longer pale faced and burnt. Thank you for educating me. Just shows we are never too old to learn. I'm going to read this again whilst away whilst I drink my fresh orange juice and sit in the sun. Many thanks, Morley Robbins.

Very easy to read and clear steps for improving your health
I found this book extremely informative and very clear in outlining the steps to take to improve one’s health. I have been interested in and reading health books for a long time and this together with Carolyn Dean’s The Magnesium Miracle are among the best. The resources listed and links to updated online resources are very helpful in building one’s knowledge and understanding.

A lot of logic here. A lot of research here. Have been following the RCP for some time now and think this book is a terrific summary and worth reading for helpful insight into the foundational concepts and helpful tools for the starts and stops.

Interessante beschrijving van de samenwerking tussen koper, ijzer, magnesium, retinol en ceruloplasma voor onze energiehuishouding.
Maar zoveel herhalingen in de tekst en nogal gebaseerd op de Amerikaanse situatie. Daar zitten we gelukkig nog een eind vandaan.
