This is a 10 minute video that explains why the Circadian T3 Method (CT3M) should be a standard tool available to doctors who treat thyroid patients suffering with partial adrenal insufficiency (sometimes referred to as adrenal fatigue).

Recovering with T3 - by Paul Robinson

This is a re-post of something I posted a while ago but with links to .pdf files. I wanted this here as a straight blog post because it is to the point and useful

Introduction

This blog post is really relevant to many thyroid patients who are trying to feel healthier by adding T3 medication to their T4 or NDT medication.

Why do so many thyroid patients feel slightly better for a few days or a week after an increase in T4 medication and then feel just as bad as they did before? The answer to this question is often linked to the effect of TSH on the conversion of FT4 to FT3. The same response is also common when thyroid patients add some T3 medication alongside their T4 medication.

Many thyroid patients struggle to keep their iron levels up to a healthy level, as a result of the effect of prolonged hypothyroidism.

The three main tests to use to determine if iron is adequate within the body are: serum iron, serum ferritin and transferrin saturation %.
