Welcome to the Hope and Help for Fatigue and Chronic Illness Podcast. It's our mission to help people that have some really complicated illnesses. People that have post viral syndrome like long COVID and ME/CFS or chronic fatigue. Those that have had toxic exposures like gulf war illness, mold exposures, pesticides and heavy metals. These illnesses can present very similarly, they can actually look the same to your clinician. You may have fatigue, post exertional malaise, foggy brain and many other symptoms that seem to be common across many illnesses. Underneath all of these illnesses, the causes of the symptoms are very similar. We know first hand how hard it is to get access to meaningful information and care when you find yourself or a loved one here. It is our hope to give you, bit by bit, the knowledge and ideas that we have seen make a positive impact on individuals just like you. And that you will take all those threads and begin to weave back together a healthier person. Brought to you by the Institute for Neuro-Immune Medicine where we have over 200 years of combined clinical experience in Neuro-Inflammatory disease.

    EP90: The Role of Nutrition in Modern Healthcare with Annie Lin, D.C.N., M.S., CNS

    Support the Institute today. https://givenow.nova.edu/donations-for-me-cfs-research-2026   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.

About

Welcome to the Hope and Help for Fatigue and Chronic Illness Podcast. It's our mission to help people that have some really complicated illnesses. People that have post viral syndrome like long COVID and ME/CFS or chronic fatigue. Those that have had toxic exposures like gulf war illness, mold exposures, pesticides and heavy metals. These illnesses can present very similarly, they can actually look the same to your clinician. You may have fatigue, post exertional malaise, foggy brain and many other symptoms that seem to be common across many illnesses. Underneath all of these illnesses, the causes of the symptoms are very similar. We know first hand how hard it is to get access to meaningful information and care when you find yourself or a loved one here. It is our hope to give you, bit by bit, the knowledge and ideas that we have seen make a positive impact on individuals just like you. And that you will take all those threads and begin to weave back together a healthier person. Brought to you by the Institute for Neuro-Immune Medicine where we have over 200 years of combined clinical experience in Neuro-Inflammatory disease.
