Eat Your Vegetables: Inflammation and Food Quality with Samantha Leyh, MS, RD, CSSD, AF Special Warfare Performance Dietician
Join Doc's Sarah & Alyse for a laid-back conversation about inflammation and food quality! In this episode we chat about:

  • Do you know the difference between Omegas 3's vs 6's? Think again...
  • The mind-body food connection.
  • Is it worth buying organic?
  • Are canned and frozen foods a good choice?
  • Booze and inflammation.
  • When it is appropriate to "detox"?

Samantha Leyh is the performance dietitian at Davis Monthan Air Force Base where she predominantly works with the bases special warfare (guardian angel) and A10 pilot population. Sam has a background in nutrition and physiology research including during graduate school at Florida State University, a quick trip to the Australian Institute of Sport, and most recently before moving to Tucson, within Air Force Research Lab at the STRONG Lab. Back in the day, Sam was a Division I athlete and captain of the women's soccer team at the University of Rhode Island. These days, she considers herself an outdoor adventure enthusiast and spends her time mountain biking, as a mentor with Big Brothers Big Sisters and enjoying the incredible food scene of the local Tucson community.
