When former hospital executive Morley Robbins developed a frozen shoulder in his early 50s, the pain brought every part of his life to a halt. What followed—divorce, career loss, and reinvention—became the beginning of a completely new path.
In this episode, Morley shares his journey from debilitating pain to discovering a new purpose. He discusses:
FEATURED GUEST
Morley Robbins (sometimes called “Magnesium Man”) is the creator and founder of The Root Cause Protocol (RCP) and the Magnesium Advocacy Group.
He holds a BA in Biology (from Denison University) and an MBA in healthcare administration (from George Washington University).
After decades working as a hospital executive and consultant, Robbins underwent a dramatic personal health crisis — a frozen shoulder so severe it disrupted his life. That experience prompted him to deep-dive into mineral metabolism (magnesium, copper, iron) and ultimately build the RCP as a mineral-based framework for restoring energy, balance, and long-term health.
Morley’s book, “Cure Your Fatigue” now available wherever books are sold: https://cureyourfatiguebook.com
The Root Cause Protocol: https://therootcauseprotocol.com
This book presents the RCP in full: how mineral imbalance (especially copper, magnesium, and iron) can underlie fatigue and chronic disease, and offers practical, research-based guidance to restore balance.
