Cortisol is produced every day. Most cortisol is made in the last four hours of a person's sleep. Free T3 also peaks around the time this cortisol production starts. So, for someone who get up at 7:00am then most of their cortisol is made between 3:0am and 7:00am. The Circadian T3 Method uses this information to add either some T3 or some NDT (natural desiccated thyroid) medication into this time period. I usually start with about 1 grain of NDT or 10 mcg of T3. I place it 1.5 hours before someone gets up and watch the results. People need to track temperature, heart rate and BP during the day - several times as well as their symptoms. If things are better but not good then it is moved back in time by one half hour earlier. This proceeds to the four hour time - perhaps to 3:00am for a 7:00am riser. If this is not enough then the process is repeated with an increase of thyroid medication. The results have been spectacular. Many people have been made completely well and others have been able to stop their hydrocortisone medication.
Hi Paul!

Does this method require that you get up at the same time every day? I go to work mon - to thursday, then 3 days off before a new week at work. On my workdays, I get up at 06.30, but in weekends I usually sleep until around 9. Is a sleep rhythm like this a problem for the cortisol production? Does this mean that my cortisol production could be interrupted or decreased in the important last 4 hours of sleep, on days when I get up early?

I am now on a combination of Armour and Levaxin (synthetic T4 medication), 50/50. Will the Circadian T3 Method still work, or does it require Armour or T3 only?

This is very interesting, and I am looking forward to read your answer
Bettie.
