This episode is brought to you by Thrive Market, Rupa Health, and Eight Sleep.\nFor the past two years, we\u2019ve been flooded with Covid-related information. We\u2019ve heard conflicting recommendations on everything from how to prevent the spread, reduce the severity, and recover, but many people are still unsure of which actions make the most impact. To me, a key underlying issue of the pandemic is that we aren\u2019t addressing the health of the host. With the virus actively looking for a new home, it\u2019s within our power to make our bodies the least appealing place for it to settle down.\xa0\nToday on The Doctor\u2019s Farmacy, I talk to Dr. Roger Seheult about giving our bodies the best inputs to stay resilient against Covid and other infectious diseases. Dr. Roger Seheult is currently an Associate Clinical Professor at the University of California, Riverside School of Medicine, and an Assistant Clinical Professor at the School of Medicine and Allied Health at Loma Linda University. Dr. Seheult is quadruple board-certified in Internal Medicine, Pulmonary Diseases, Critical Care Medicine, and Sleep Medicine through the American Board of Internal Medicine. He is also the co-founder of MedCram, an online medical education company that helps healthcare professionals and laypeople understand medical topics clearly.\nThis episode is brought to you by Thrive Market, Rupa Health, and Eight Sleep.\nThrive Market is an online, membership-based grocery store that makes eating well convenient and more affordable.
