The Simplicity & Enormity of Copper<>Iron Metabolism

Learning Objectives:

  1. Copper is “The General”
  2. Iron is “The Grunt” (Foot Soldier)
  3. Disease, as we know it, is when The General is MIA…

Morley Robbins, a “retired” Hospital Executive (12 yrs) and healthcare consultant (20 yrs), chose to become a Wellness Coach in 2009. In the process, he has become a self-taught mineral expert. His highest purpose is to share this decade of daily scientific research on the profound metabolic interplay between 3 KEY minerals: Magnesium, Bioavailable Copper, and Iron. These mineral-driven metabolic concepts are not fully understood nor appreciated in practitioner circles and are certainly not in the public’s consciousness.
He regularly confers with world-renowned mineral experts in addition to his research and focuses on continued research, writing, and educational conferences to promote his insights and findings. To that end, he manages two websites to provide mineral education:

His priority focus is to master mineral metabolism and its foundational impact on our health.
There is a REASON for that priority focus…
Left unchecked, Copper<>Iron Dysregulation builds in the body, generates an imbalance of Reactive Oxygen Species (ROS), and the resulting metabolic confusion fosters every conceivable condition, syndrome, malady, or disease that is growing steadily in North America, as well as the Planet.
He has devised a unique blood test to reveal these mineral dynamics and regularly trains practitioners to use this diagnostic tool in their practices. He has now performed over 5,500 consultations with clients in 45 countries around the world and has trained scores of professionals in these unique mineral dynamics & concepts through his Copernican Institute. He speaks regularly at Wellness Conferences in New York, NY, Chicago, IL, and Los Angeles, CA, and was a speaker at The Forum for Integrative Medicine this March 2019 in Seattle, WA. He is also a regular guest on dozens of different health-oriented Podcasts and Radio Shows. For additional information on his approach, please go to his website: http://therootcauseprotocol.com/Resources which has a wide spectrum of information on his philosophy, the RCP protocol, as well as 80+ Posts on Iron Toxicity compiled from his daily research over the past decade.

Rebecca Taylor, DDS, AIAOMT

Jason Scoppa, DC, CSCP, CCSP, PAk

Decoding TMJ: Simplified Strategies for an Effective Multidisciplinary Treatment 

Dr. Taylor holds a BS in molecular and cellular biology from UC Santa Barbara and her DDS from the University of the Pacific Arthur A. Dugoni School of Dentistry in San Francisco.

After dental school, she studied with the International Academy of Oral and Medical Toxicology, becoming an accredited member (AIOMT) and certified in safe mercury removal. She also attended the American College of Integrative Medicine and Dentistry, making her a board-certified naturopath, and obtained her degree in Integrative Biologic Dental Medicine. She has also completed coursework though the Institute of Functional Medicine and is certified in ozone and myofunctional therapy.

This comprehensive background allows her to communicate with physicians in their own language and create collaborative, individualized treatment plans for their shared patients. It also allows her to quarterback patient care and direct patients to help them achieve total mouth and body health.

Believing that continuing education is critical to both professional development, patient care, and personal development, Dr. Taylor dedicates hundreds of hours each year to further her education in dentistry, medicine, and nutrition to ensure she is up to date with the latest techniques and research in biological dental medicine. Areas in which she has received additional training include:

  • Ozone therapy.
    • Myobrace, ALF, and DNA appliance therapy (alternative to braces treatments and sleep apnea treatment).
    • Functional orthodontics.
    • Invisalign.
    • Tongue-tie release.
    • Laser dentistry.
    • Nightlase (snoring treatment).
    • Facial aesthetics (nonsurgical “face lift”).
    • Neuromuscular dentistry.
    • Myofunctional therapy .
    • Advanced TMJ treatment.
    • Sleep apnea treatment.
    • Heavy metal detox.
    • Buteyko breathing.
    • Platelet rich fibrin (PRF), in both surgical applications and facial aesthetics.
    • Zirconia (ceramic) dental implants.
    • Micro air abrasion (alternative to drilling).
    • Safe mercury removal.
    • Perioscopy (minimally invasive treatment of advanced gum disease).
    • Nonsurgical treatment of cavitations.
    • Cranial-sacral, chiropractic, and physical therapy, and how these can be applied when treating the airway and TMJ.

Recently, Dr. Taylor has developed a real passion for treating both the root cause of crowded teeth and sleep apnea/airway issues. “Fixing the causes of obstruction in both children and adults to support optimal systemic health is so rewarding,’ she says. “Oxygen is THE MOST IMPORTANT nutrient our body needs. We make such a big deal around the nutrition we put into our bodies, which is important, but we skim over the oxygen supply pathway: our breathing! Oxygen is KING, and without sufficient oxygen, every organ system breaks down.”

Based in Washington state, Dr. Taylor has become one of the top Myobrace, DNA/ Vivos system providers on the west coast. Drawing from her diverse training, Dr. Taylor has developed an interdisciplinary treatment protocol that merges her knowledge across biological dentistry, laser techniques, naturopathic/functional medicine, cranial-sacral/physical therapy, and functional TMJ and orthodontics to treat jaw development issues and sleep apnea/snoring.

Dr. Taylor is a member of the International Academy of Oral Medicine and Toxicology, the International Academy of Biological Dentistry and Medicine, the Holistic Dental Association, and the International Association for Orthodontics.

Outside the office, Dr. Taylor enjoys organic grain-free cooking, Pilates, yoga, painting, live music, and exploring the great outdoors. She loves to travel and discover authentic new places near and far. On the weekends, you can find her at the local farmers market, spending time with family in the San Juan Islands, or attending a continuing education course.


Dr. Jason Scoppa is a certified SOT craniopath (CSCP) and SOT chiropractor with a TMD focused practice in Bellevue, WA.
