Beyond EBV: Why Adrenal Support Is Key to Overcoming Chronic Fatigue

Beyond EBV: Why Adrenal Support Is Key to Overcoming Chronic Fatigue The Made to Heal Show with Dr. Kasey Holland

In this solo episode, Dr. Kasey Holland breaks down one of the most overlooked pieces of chronic fatigue recovery — adrenal support. Whether you're bedbound, battling brain fog, or just pushing through the week, your adrenals may be the missing link in your healing.

In this episode, you'll learn:

• Why testing positive for Epstein-Barr Virus doesn't tell the whole story — and what most practitioners are missing
• How the HPA (hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal) axis impacts your energy, immune function, and ability to fight chronic infections
• Why a "normal" cortisol test doesn't mean your adrenals are fine
• The connection between stress, EBV reactivation, and adrenal fatigue (80% of Dr. Holland's patients report stress as a trigger)
• How to check your nervous system regulation right now with a simple breathing exercise
• The naturopathic therapeutic order for adrenal support — from B vitamins and adaptogenic herbs to glandulars and low-dose hydrocortisone

Key supplements & herbs mentioned:

• B vitamins (mitochondrial + adrenal support)
• Rhodiola
• Astragalus (also supports natural killer cell function for EBV)
• Bovine glandulars
• Low-dose hydrocortisone (short-term support)
