POV: Your labs are “normal”… but your body is clearly not.

Normal labs.
Not normal physiology.

Over 90% of adults have been exposed to Epstein-Barr. Most get mono in their 20’s and move on.

I did too.

Until I ended up in a hospital bed in my 40’s on heart monitors for three days. Heart racing. Neurological symptoms. Inflammation everywhere. Every standard panel? “Within range.”

Six months later, one neurologist ran deeper markers.

Chronic viral reactivation.

Here’s what we don’t talk about enough.

EBV doesn’t disappear. It becomes dormant. And in certain immune profiles ~ especially women with autoimmune tendencies ~ it can stay immunologically active just enough to keep inflammation simmering.

Then perimenopause hits.

Estrogen declines. Immune regulation shifts. Inflammation rises. Thyroid conversion can suffer.

But most women are evaluated with:

TSH.
Maybe Free T4.
CBC.
CMP.

That’s not a full picture.

What often gets missed:

Thyroid antibodies (TPO, TG).
Free T3.
Reverse T3.
CRP or inflammatory markers.
Fasting insulin.
Ferritin.
Vitamin D.
Cortisol rhythm.

You can have a “normal” TSH and still have elevated antibodies.
You can have normal T4 and poor conversion to T3.
You can have inflammation driving symptoms while your panel stays inside reference range.

If you already have:

Hashimoto’s.
Unexplained autoimmune markers.
Long COVID symptoms.
Chronic fatigue patterns.
A history of mono.

Menopause doesn’t create the dysfunction.

It exposes it.

Suddenly you’re exhausted. Anxious. Inflamed. Gaining weight. Not sleeping. And being told you’re fine.

Within range does not mean optimal.

If this sounds familiar, comment EBV if you’ve had mono.
Comment AUTO if you’ve been told you have autoimmune.

Or DM me LABS if you’re ready to look deeper than surface-level testing.

High-capacity women don’t guess.
We investigate.
