The Ct3m Handbook

I first purchased Paul Robinsons book "Recovering with t3" and it changed my life. The Chapter in that book that was the most valuable to me was the one on cortisol and the "CT3m" method. The chapter was brief, but it gave me plenty information to feel comfortable implementing it. This book is very in depth and easy to digest. Having read this I feel extremely confident that I have made the right decision by employing these practices. I feel so much better, and my doctor is totally on board with this strategy. I am so grateful for Paul Robinson! I found him on YouTube and started listening to all of the podcasts that he stars in, and I just knew that this man knew what he was talking about. You will not regret buying this book!

One of the most useful books I've ever read period. I've been suffering from a "mysterious illness" where life has been drained out of me leaving me severely stressed, fatigued, lifeless ... with no obvious medical diagnosis. Doctors consulted thought I was either crazy or mental. Nothing seemed to help. Conventional medical tests didn't reveal anything useful. Anti-depressants didn't do much. ... I was alone in my fight to recover energy, savage a struggling career, and nurture a young family. The negative impacts on life, career, and family have been indescribable. Refusing to give up on hope, I researched as much as energy and time would allow (read very day/night), I came across this book through other books and thyroid forums' postings. After about 2 months of implementing the author's suggestions, I'm happy to report that my latest 24-hr saliva cortisol tests came back near optimal and even HIGH at night. Astounding. Similar tests done 7 months ago showed results consistent with "Adrenal Fatigue phase 3" corresponding with my constantly lousy feelings. With my holistic MD's help in prescribing NDT and T3 together with the instructions and tips contained in this handbook, my cortisol levels and energy have recovered in conjunction with my MTHFR protocol. I've been given a second chance at feeling better and life. Though recovery is on-going, I can't thank the author enough. Mr. Robinson, your CT3M discovery has done me a great service. I'm sure there are countless others like me. In fact, I bought a copy of this handbook as a gift to my MD who called me a few weeks later to tell me that she'd enjoyed the book and is interested in talking about it at next office visit. That's wonderful!

The book is well written. I consider this book a good addition to the Broda Barnes book as well as Dr. Peatfields book. The CT3M approach is interesting and is of much interest to me as I already have sub-par adrenal function and everything I can do to boost it would be helpful. The book has a very useful section that covers many of the things than can derail your thyroid support program which I find is a good sanity check of things you might have missed. So far I'm very pleased with the book and excited to try this guys protocol. What he advocates in his approach makes a lot of sense. His explanation of the protocol and how to adjust it is very detailed. Well done!! This approach makes so much sense, it's amazing no one had considered it before this.

The CT3M Handbook is the perfect companion to Recovering with T3. The Handbook reviews the the Circadian Method of using T3 medication for recovery from low adrenal function and hypo-thyrodism. But in addition to this the book details other factors that may effect the success of the CT3M. There is excellent information on needed supplements, possible hindrances and how they might be addressed, labs to have done and how they should score, as well as additional adrenal supports that may be warranted. I have been hypo-thyroid, under treated for 14 years, and in under three months I have made the most remarkable progress using this method. It has been invaluable! If you still suffer from hypo-thyroid on your Synthroid or other T4 or even NDT, you owe it to yourself to look into the CT3M method.

I suffered for 8 years with adrenal fatigue and also hashimotos thyroid disease. The fatigue was real and unrelenting, no matter how many supplements, dietary changes, added sleep that invested in. Reading 'The CT3M Handbook' in conjunction with 'Recovering with T3' has made a huge impact in my life! If you have struggled with either if these issues, make reading both of these books a priority and help yourself find healing! Paul Robinson lays out proctors that may be new to some or most, but they are effective and have changed many many lives for the better!

Must read if you have adrenal issues and endocrine issues stemming from your thyroid.

Many hypothyroid patients have a deficit of T3, the active thyroid hormone, and as a result, have low cortisol. This book is a practical guide to help them recover their health.

Frustrated by neglectful doctors, with this book I could decide I didn't have a thyroid problem.
