Is Viral Overload at the Root of Your Symptoms? Understanding EBV and Its Impact on the Body
Have you been feeling chronically tired, anxious, foggy-headed, or hormonally out of balance — even though your tests come back "normal"?
This blog explores the hidden world of viral overload, focusing on Epstein-Barr Virus (EBV) and other lingering viruses like Herpes Simplex (HSV-1 and HSV-2), Ross River Virus, and Varicella-Zoster (chickenpox and shingles).Many women are unknowingly carrying a low-grade viral burden that may be disrupting:
-
Thyroid function (especially Hashimoto’s and hypothyroid)
-
Hormonal balance in perimenopause
-
Nervous system and mental wellbeing (anxiety, fatigue, insomnia)
-
Immune resilience and inflammation
-
Reproductive health and fertility
These viruses can go dormant and reactivate during stress, hormonal shifts, or burnout, creating a ripple effect across the whole body.
As a naturopath, I work with women to support their immune system, calm inflammation, and bring their bodies back into balance — naturally and holistically.

While most people associate gut health with digestion, the microbiome’s effects go far beyond the digestive system. One of the most critical but often overlooked connections is how gut health impacts cardiovascular health and the critical role oral health plays in this gut-heart connection. The mouth is the gateway to the digestive system, and the bacteria that thrive there can directly impact not only your gut microbiome but also your cardiovascular system.
