Hantavirus Outbreak: Virus Expert Explains Risk, Immunity, And Diet Impact | Dr. Roger Seheult

A deadly hantavirus outbreak linked to a cruise ship is making headlines around the world. But how worried should you really be?

Dr. Roger Seheult joins Chuck Carroll on The Exam Room Podcast to explain what is known about the outbreak, how diet and lifestyle may impact the risk of becoming sick, how Andes hantavirus spreads, why this situation is different from COVID-19, and why health officials are taking it seriously while still assessing the risk to the general public as low.

Dr. Seheult is the co-founder of MedCram, an Associate Clinical Professor at UC Riverside School of Medicine, an Assistant Clinical Professor at Loma Linda University, and is quadruple board-certified in internal medicine, pulmonary diseases, critical care medicine, and sleep medicine.

🧠 In this episode, Dr. Seheult will teach:

What hantavirus is
What makes Andes hantavirus different
The possible role of diet in the body's ability to fight the virus
How concerned the average person should be
Why this does not appear to spread like COVID-19
How inflammation may affect infection risk
What sleep and circadian rhythm have to do with immunity
Why morning sunlight may support health
How light at night can interfere with melatonin
Why Dr. Seheult says "dark days and bright nights" are a major problem

The conversation begins with the breaking news about hantavirus and expands into a larger discussion about how food, sleep, sunlight, and everyday habits may help support the immune system.

This episode is not medical advice. Always speak with your doctor about cancer screening, treatment, and any changes to your diet or lifestyle.
