WHAT IS
The Root Cause Protocol?
WHAT DRIVES US
Our Mission
The RCP’s mission incorporates 3 pillars
REFINE, REDIRECT and REDESIGN health.
The Protocol
The Root Cause Protocol (RCP) was developed by Morley Robbins, who transformed a career in the mainstream medical industry into a quest to learn the fundamental components of a healthy metabolism. The RCP is the culmination of his many years of research and is revolutionary in its approach to health from a truly holistic perspective, by looking at the whole organism and how all the elements work together, rather than limiting the focus to isolated nutrients or conditions.
The RCP works by restoring balance to the key minerals – magnesium, copper and iron – that must work together in order to optimize energy and increase vitality.
Restoring balance is a big undertaking, and the goal of the list below and the Handbook is to break it down into small pieces that can be easily integrated into a healthy lifestyle.
Below you will find the full protocol, mapped out step by step so that you can see it for yourself.
We recommend downloading the RCP handbook to use as you implement the protocol for yourself.

Do you need help implementing the steps of The Root Cause Protocol?
Perhaps you’d like support interpreting your blood work and hair-tissue mineral analysis (HTMA) test?
Maybe you’re looking for one-on-one coaching from an RCP expert?
If any of the above apply to you, book a health coaching session with an RCPC.
All RCPCs are graduates of the RCP Institute, taught by Morley Robbins, creator of The Root Cause Protocol. (Learn more about attending the RCP Institute here.)
Many of them overcame various health challenges of their own by following this protocol. And now they make some (or all) of their income assisting others who are following the protocol.
