Why is COPPER a Root Cause Protocol START?

Copper isn’t just another mineral on the list — it’s the mineral conductor of the entire symphony. Without bioavailable copper, your body can’t properly regulate iron, make energy efficiently, or manage oxidative stress.

Here’s why it’s a starting point in the RCP:

📌Iron regulation: Copper activates the key enzymes (like ceruloplasmin and ferroxidase) that keep iron moving safely through the body. Without copper, iron gets stuck in the wrong places — leading to fatigue, inflammation, and oxidative stress.

📌Energy production: Copper is essential for cytochrome c oxidase, the enzyme that makes ATP in your mitochondria. No copper = sluggish energy at the cellular level.

📌Antioxidant defense: Copper fuels superoxide dismutase (SOD), one of the body’s most important enzymes for neutralizing free radicals. That means less oxidative damage and more resilience.

📌Hormonal and neurological health: Copper plays a vital role in neurotransmitters, connective tissue, and adrenal function — all key areas supported by the RCP.

In short: restoring copper isn’t about “adding another supplement.” It’s about rekindling your body’s ability to regulate, repair, and thrive. That’s why copper is foundational in the Root Cause Protocol — it unlocks the very systems that bring balance back to minerals, energy, and overall health!

I am so delighted to receive this review from Rebecca:

I can't recommend Mairead enough! I have struggled with anxiety my whole life and was told about EFT by a counsellor. After researching, I struggled to find any information on the practice and then came across Mairead's page so I got in touch. She arranged a phone call that evening to explain the process to me, and I am so grateful to have found her. She is so passionate, knowledgeable and understanding which made my sessions so rewarding in many ways. She has introduced me to new ways of living, which has helped to clear my brain fog and change my perception on life. I now feel like I have control over my anxiety, and it doesn't weigh me down like it used to. Thank you so much for giving me a new lease of life!

Stop #8 - Stop using synthetic forms of ascorbate/ascorbic acid and citrate/citric acid

🍊 Ascorbic acid (apo-vitamin C) is perhaps the most widely known and widely recommended nutrient in the world! As a result, in its most widely used forms (synthetic ascorbic acid and sodium and calcium ascorbate), it is also one of the MAIN CULPRITS in the epidemic of chronic fatigue and disease facing our Ascorbic acid (apo-vitamin C) is perhaps the most widely known and widely recommended nutrient in the world! As a result, in its most widely used forms (synthetic ascorbic acid and sodium and calcium ascorbate), it is also one of the MAIN CULPRITS in the epidemic of chronic fatigue and disease facing our !

🍊 In Morley Robbins book, [Cu]re: Your Fatigue, he goes into detail on some of the studies about ascorbate/ascorbic acid and citrate/citric acid.

🍊 For at least two generations, coming up on three, we've been propagandized to use synthetic vitamin C supplements while unknowingly DESTROYING our bodies' supply of ceruloplasmin and thus bioavailable copper. (Not good!)

🍊 The bottom line is that ALL synthetic forms of ascorbic acid act as TOXIC SUBSTANCES in the human body, and this fact has been known for over 70 years! (Why do not hear about this?)

🍊 As for why you should avoid both citrate and citric acid, the reason for doing so was discovered by researchers Earl Frieden and Shigemasa Osaki of Florida State University, whose investigations dating back to the mid-1960s clearly demonstrated that citrate suppresses and acts as a natural killer of ceruloplasmin!

🍊 In order to fully eliminate your intake of synthetic C, citrate and citric acid, avoid packaged foods because all three ingredients are commonly found in them! (Who knew, right? You will be surprised when you start investigating!) Also, get into the habit of reading food labels, and avoid citrate forms of minerals, including magnesium citrate.

Useful insight into zinc

🛑 Stop #4 - STOP taking zinc supplements

🧐 We know what you might be thinking: haven't we been told that zinc is really helpful for supporting health? And perhaps it has "helped" you with symptoms in the past...but did you know that zinc can have some short-term gain but with LONG-TERM consequences?! Something to think about for sure!

Zinc is involved in many important functions in the body and is frequently prescribed for immune system support, even though copper plays a much more important role in immune system function. It is often suggested for those who are labeled “copper toxic”, when the reality is that they may have plenty of copper but lack the nutrients necessary to turn the copper into its functional/bioavailable form, ceruloplasmin.
Low bioavailable copper translates to iron dysregulation, which causes oxidative stress and inflammation. In addition, iron and zinc share an absorption pathway, so when excess unbound iron is high, zinc will be low.

Rather than addressing the root cause of the stress that led to the zinc deficiency, many practitioners prescribe mega doses of zinc to reduce the copper. However, zinc supplements trigger the production of metallothionein, which binds up copper and shuts down the body’s ability to make ceruloplasmin in the liver and prevents the ferroxidase enzyme function which is vital for managing iron. Taking zinc essentially depletes the very copper that the body needs to manage iron and reduce the stress that initiated the cycle of dysfunction.

FACT: ALL facets of iron metabolism require bioavailable copper…
FACT: Efficient production of red blood cells requires bioavailable copper…
FACT: Inefficient red blood cell production creates kryptopyrroles that affect zinc and B6 status…
FACT: Zinc supplements block copper absorption…

Supplementing with zinc does nothing to correct the underlying physiology, nor does it address the true mineral deficiency. In looking at the interplay between minerals, rather than at isolated minerals such as zinc, the RCP seeks to support the body to produce more bioavailable copper in order to manage iron and eliminate iron-induced stress in order to promote a healthy metabolism. When the copperiron balance is restored, zinc will also regain its balance naturally.
