To find out more about the Root Cause Protocol and our own activities, you can find us in a few places.

ROOT CAUSE PROTOCOL

The main resource where we encourage everyone to go is to the main Root Cause Protocol website. From there you can directly read Morley’s research, watch videos and join the premium community for extra learning via regular meetings, videos, members-only forum and first looks at the current news and research.

The Facebook ‘pages’ have regular posts to keep you up to date with activities and resources for you to learn. The ‘groups’ are places you can engage with community members within a group environment plus answer or ask questions of members, moderators and consultants.

What are minerals and why do I need to pay attention to them?

Minerals run our body, but while we may have heard of copper, magnesium and iron back in high school chemistry or along our way in life, we rarely get told these are just a few of the critical components that make our bodies work.

What magnesium is best for me?

You can find out more about what magnesium is best for you here.

Did you get it from your mother?

Many of us inherit mineral imbalances from our Mums and Grandmothers (sorry to the Mums around the world!)… so even if we ate a perfectly balanced diet from soon after birth, we can still end up with ongoing health concerns that often escalate as we get older, after having kids or after stressful events. These are potentially reversible situations – at minimum our bodies can be supported by minerals to let recovery naturally happen. At best, our bodies can start to function as well-oiled machines that they are, once they return to full capacity.

Many of these health conditions once were “old age” problems, and are now starting out at earlier and earlier times and compounding as we get older. Many people only see them after a stressful occurrence in their life, after otherwise being healthy for years or having niggling symptoms that didn’t hamper their life. 

There’s so much information, where do I begin?

Having the support to achieve your goals is what I do – my clients are supporting their minerals with the ‘Root Cause Protocol’ created by the researcher, Morley Robbins (http://rcp123.org).

The team at Supporting Balance are here to support you in learning how to manage the overwhelming quantity of information so it is relevant to you and to actually help you learn how to APPLY that knowledge in a practical way.

A great place to start, is here – there are some things to stop, and you can edge into the ‘starts’.

How do I prepare for blood donation?

If donating blood, you may like to consider some ‘hacks’ we have found supports our own donations and that of other clients.

Have an adrenal cocktail before you leave home, and have one after you return home or make sure you have the normal ones for the balance of the day/next days.

Vagal nerve exercises can be very helpful with calming the body – it’s a common technique used in anxiety situations or by psychologists for other areas of life, not just blood tests!
If you have ever felt feint or like passing out due to blood tests being done, consider doing these before you go, and while at the blood centre (& after).

“In 2010, researchers discovered a positive feedback loop between high vagal tone, positive emotions, and good physical health. In other words, the more you increase your vagal tone, the more your physical and mental health will improve, and vice versa (5).” (Optimal Living Dynamics)
