EP 130. Doctor Shares Keys to Improve Your Health: Fatigue, Sleep, and Muscle - Dr. Enrique Esteve
Constant tiredness, chronic fatigue, reactivated infections, or the feeling that "something is wrong" are often addressed in isolation: vitamins, anemia, stress, or lack of rest. But behind these symptoms, there can be a much deeper connection between the immune system, sleep, muscles, inflammation, latent viruses, and autoimmunity.
In this episode, we speak with Dr. Enrique Esteve, an internist and doctor of medicine, about the Epstein-Barr virus, also known as the kissing disease, its relationship with fatigue, mononucleosis, viral reactivations, and some autoimmune diseases.
We also discuss the importance of sleep for the immune system, what really happens during sleep stages, the chronic use of sleep medications, the role of muscle as a key organ for immunity, and why sarcopenia is much more important than we usually think.
Furthermore, we talk about autoantibodies, thyroiditis, gluten, histamine, and obstetric antiphospholipid syndrome, a treatable and often overlooked cause of recurrent miscarriages, fetal losses, and fertility problems.
A conversation to better understand that the body does not function in separate parts: sleep, muscle, hormones, gut, immune system, and fertility are profoundly connected.
