Dr Lin is joining DGIM with the UCSF executive health practice after nearly a decade of experience as a general internist in San Francisco, primarily at The Permanente Medical Group. His interests include preventative and integrative medicine with a focus on lifestyle medicine, empowering patients to restore and maintain their own health through reversing the chronic cycle of lifestyle related diseases. The six pillars of lifestyle medicine involve whole food plant-based eating pattern, regular physical activity, restorative sleep, stress management, avoidance of risky substances, and positive social connections. Dr Lin is excited to join DGIM and looks forward to building a collaborative partnership with colleagues and team members in DGIM. Outside of work, his hobbies include scuba diving, swimming, and hiking.
