In today's episode, Haylie Pomroy sits down with Dr. Annie Lin, a licensed board-certified nutrition specialist in integrative and functional nutrition, for a conversation that gets to the root of why food is not just part of the healing equation. It is the foundation of it.
Dr. Lin walks through the science of chronic inflammation as a physiologic process, one that can be triggered by stress, viral infection, environmental toxins, and food itself. She explains how food functions as information for our genes, activating or quieting inflammatory pathways depending on what we consume. Together, Haylie and Dr. Lin make the case for clinical nutrition as a non-negotiable member of every care team, not an afterthought.
They also explore the role of culinary spices as targeted, nutrient-dense medicine; the nutrient depletion side effects that often go unaddressed when patients are prescribed medications; and why the initial patient intake, the moment someone finally feels heard and validated, can be the turning point in a healing journey.
Dr. Annie Lin is a Licensed and Board-Certified Nutrition Specialist focusing on integrative and functional nutrition approaches for optimizing health and addressing root causes of clinical imbalances. She is a dedicated assistant professor in the Department of Nutrition, teaching a variety of courses including functional nutrition in the graduate program. With a doctorate in Clinical Nutrition from Maryland University of Integrative Health, and training from the Institute for Functional Medicine, she combines academic rigor with practical expertise in using Food as Medicine.
