I know people can get fevers up to +100f/37c. So why can’t our body just flip a switch and turn on a fever essentially. I have plenty of “stored” energy so I don’t see how that would be a problem.

Just wanted to throw in an interesting fact related to this. Some people have been able to actually increase their body temperature consciously.
A very commonly shown technique is the tumo meditation. Or a technique used by the infamous “ice man” Wim Hof. Who has a world record in the longest time spent in an ice bath of over 1 hour. He was able to do so because he was consciously increasing his body temperature to fight the cold.
A lot of his students have learned this too, and controlling other automatic body functions consciously, such as the immune response and whatnot.
