The Overlooked Impact of Epstein-Barr on Women’s Hormones with Dr. Katie Zaremba
Epstein-Barr virus is nearly ubiquitous, yet its clinical implications in women’s health, fertility, and immunity are often overlooked. Uncover the latest insights and practical strategies to spot, manage, and explain chronic viral reactivation and its ripple effects on vibrant wellness.
Today on The Vibrant Wellness podcast Dr. Emmie Brown, ND, and Melissa Gentile, INHC, welcome Dr. Katie Zaremba, a functional medicine and fertility specialist, to unpack the evolving science behind Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) and its clinical intersections with fertility, autoimmunity, and hormone health. Dr. Zaremba brings her expertise on chronic infections, sharing a rich overview of EBV’s prevalence and its varied clinical presentation, from acute “kissing disease” fatigue in adolescents to subtle, lingering symptoms in adults that often evade routine clinical detection.
Hit play and gain targeted advice for assessing, explaining, and managing chronic viral load, including practical, nutrient-focused recommendations for immune support, stepwise lifestyle interventions, and the importance of stress reduction for optimizing patient outcomes and fertility. Dr. Zaremba’s practical analogies, evidence-informed protocols, and patient advocacy offer clinicians actionable tools for elevating women's health and advancing vibrant wellness.
Key Takeaways from Today’s Episode:
📌 Chronic EBV reactivation can mimic and drive common symptoms like fatigue and brain fog.
📌 Autoimmunity, especially Hashimoto’s, is closely linked with EBV and nutrient status.
📌 Comprehensive labs, including EBV panels and nutrient screening, can reveal hidden root causes.
📌 Gradual, phase-based interventions and positive dietary additions support sustainable patient change.
📌 Patient-centered explanations and stress reduction are vital for immune resilience and fertility.
