The Freely Rooted Podcast Kori Meloy and Fallon Lee

Women we work with frequently ask us how they can help the men in their life pursue metabolic healing.  Do the same principles apply?  Should men approach nutrition differently than women?  We have been wanting to bring you a discussion all about pro-metabolic health for men, and we knew that Adam of LifeBlud would be the perfect guest to share his story.  In this episode, we discuss establishing a strong nutritional foundation to support both male and female bodies according to their individual design.  Adam shares practical and attainable strategies for men who are getting started on a metabolic health journey.  And make sure to stay through the end of this episode to hear Adam’s profound insight into why it is so important for men to access their intrinsic motivation when making these lifestyle changes.

There are a lot of misconceptions floating around about iron.  Morley Robbins is the founder of The Root Cause Protocol and has helped thousands of people find the same healing he has found through understanding minerals.  We devote the majority of this discussion to iron and copper, two minerals that are largely misunderstood by the allopathic and even functional medicine spheres.  The point we keep coming back to is how beautiful and intelligent the human design is.  Join us as we explore how we can best support our physiology through a greater understanding of these important minerals.

In this episode, we cover:


Morley’s personal journey of finding healing through nutrition and minerals
The impact of copper deprivation on the body and its connection to oxidative stress
The role of critical thinking in taking responsibility for our own health
What factors in our modern world have lead to pervasive iron overload
