Iron, Copper, and the Mitochondria: Morley Robbins Answers Your Questions on Aging Well
Description
In this special follow-up episode, we revisit one of our most talked-about conversations of the year — with Morley M. Robbins, author of [Cu]re Your Fatigue. After episode 306, listeners sent in thoughtful questions about blood donation, iron overload, copper supplementation, mitochondrial health, and the role of GHK-Cu peptides.
In this conversation, Morley returns to unpack these complex topics with clarity and depth. We’ll explore how iron moves into tissues, the implications of long-term copper IUD use, how to approach copper and iron balance strategically as we age, and why our mitochondria might just hold the key to vitality in our later decades.
Whether you’re navigating your own health journey or simply curious about how minerals shape aging, this is a conversation you won’t want to miss.
