I have made a short video that describes my book, The Thyroid Patient’s Manual.
This book discusses the use of ALL thyroid hormone treatments.
The Thyroid Patient’s Manual is A PRACTICAL GUIDE TO GETTING IN THE DRIVER’S SEAT AND GAINING SOME CONTROL OF YOUR HEALTH!
The Thyroid Patient’s Manual is a practical, easy-to-read book, which provides an excellent resource for people who are trying to understand hypothyroidism.
It is aimed at patients who suspect they have low thyroid hormone levels, those who have just been diagnosed and are beginning treatment and those who are on thyroid treatment already but are still feeling ill.
The Thyroid Patient’s Manual book deals with all the main thyroid hormone treatment options, including T4 (Levothyroxine), NDT (natural desiccated thyroid), T3 (Liothyronine) and all combinations.
An easy-to-grasp series of steps is presented that includes information on thyroid and adrenal hormones, diagnosis of hypothyroidism and finding the right treatment.
It covers all the common problems that interfere with the success of thyroid treatment, including mineral and vitamin deficiencies, low cortisol and many other issues.
It is a manual, so it is very specific about ideal levels for test results and levels that are a concern and should be discussed with your doctor.
It is consistent with and references recent research studies on thyroid diagnosis and treatment.
The book is immensely practical, easy-to-read, yet absolutely full of essential information for the well-informed thyroid patient (much of which will be new to many thyroid patients).
The Thyroid Patient’s Manual gives you the tools needed to gain some control of your health, and be able to work productively with your doctor so that you can recover your health as fast as possible.
Note: This book does not replace either of the previous two books (Recovering with T3 and The CT3M Handbook), which are vital reading for those trying to use the T3 thyroid hormone safely and successfully.
Selection of reviews on Amazon:

“Every thyroid patient should have this book”
“The search for answers ends here”
“I love The Thyroid Patient’s Manual by Paul Robinson. I have at least a dozen books on hypothyroidism and not one of them comes close to this book”
“Awesome book for anyone that is hypothyroid”
“This is the best thyroid book I’ve read (and I’ve read a lot)”

Paul. I am 75 year old female w/what I believe is ATD. Been treated ineffectively for hypothyroidism (referred to as Hashamotos) for 35 years. I was diagnosed after presenting with a myxedema coma in 1985. Based on what I am reading on the internet, I am sure that my atrophied thyroid gland has been in this condition for a long time. I just learned of it 2 months ago. I live in Santa Fe NM and am struggling to find a specialist who will work with me. I would travel outside my area if there is someone qualified and who will listen. Any ideas? I just found you on the www this last month or so and appreciate your work so much. I am looking into choosing one or more of your books. BTW, nice video and for those of us that love birds, its a really nice touch! Kathleen Flynn. Email: logsu.9@gmail.com
Hi Kathleen, I live in the UK and so don’t know of any good doctors in your area.
I would consider joining a thyroid forum on Facebook or other and ask other patients there if they have any recommendations in your own area. I run a forum myself called ‘The Thyroid Patient’s Manual’ on Facebook and there will probably be members there who could assist you with the contact information of good doctors.
‘The Thyroid Patient’s Manual’ is also likely to be the most useful book of my series that could assist you. I honestly believe that gaining knowledge and information is absolutely essential for thyroid patients. Otherwise, they tend to get pushed around too much by doctors and often get sub-optimal treatment.
Good luck Kathleen!

Hi Paul,
I live in the UK and I desperately need someone who can help with the confusion surrounding my thyroid problem. I want to have other blood tests – a full comprehensive thyroid panel. I was diagnosed with hypothyroidism in January 2019 just after I had a miscarriage at 10weeks. I am 42 years old, fit and healthy but with bouts of tiredness, weight gain and bloating. I have done much reading and have reached out to Dr Anna Cabeca and Elle Russ who has recommended you. I have deferred further fertility treatment to better understand my body and thyroid issue and best to manage it. My doctor increased my thyroxine and I change my nutrition, rest and exercise and brought my TSH 2.31. Tbh I have corrected my TSH levels before with nutrition, exercise and good sleep pattern as I work shifts so there can be some disruption. I’m still not convinced or believe that my body is running on all cylinders.
Please can you help?
What blood work do I need to check because as you are aware the NHS test only TSH levels. And where can I find someone who can help with blood tests. Your help is greatly appreciated. Thank you for your work in this area. Regards, Tina.
Hi Tina,
I’m sorry to hear of your difficulties. This is a public page and I don’t discuss coaching in detail on it.
Please email me on paulrobinsonthyroid@gmail.com or use the Contact Us page on the front page of this website.
I’ll answer you on email. I also think getting The Thyroid Patient’s Manual book would be a smart move as being gaslighted by a doctor going mainly on TSH is not the way to go in your situation. I’m sure Elle Russ may have said much the same.
There are also plenty of private blood test companies. It is also not true that the NHS only test TSH. My GP tests TSH, FT3 and FT4 – it depends on the GP and sometimes the area. But mostly the GP. We can discuss all of this on email and you can then decide how you want to move forward. If you mail tonight I might only respond tomorrow as it has been a busy day.
Best wishes, Paul
