Jessica A. Lin, MD

I am an adolescent medicine physician whose research focuses on patients who struggle with obesity and develop eating disorders to lose weight unsafely. I aim to explore how to better treat obesity and eating disorders while also gaining a deeper understanding of how obesity is defined and what health at every size means.
