About Holly Zink
Holly’s interest in nutrition began with a love of science and a deep curiosity about why some people thrive while others struggle with chronic illness. After working as a research scientist studying infection disease, she shifted her focus to nutrition to bring that information directly to empower people to use food as a tool for healing.
Her background as a scientist and training in clinical integrative nutrition have allowed her to help you sift through the nuance of the research and apply what matters for you personally. She has experience working as part of an integrative and functional medicine practice, and has experience supporting people with digestive disorders, cardiovascular disease, prediabetes, diabetes, autoimmune disorders, MCAS, POTS, EDS. Holly has a particular passion for mental health, gut health, and metabolism because of the foundational ways they impact energy, mood, and long-term health.
Holly believes that all people deserve personalized, compassionate nutrition care as part of their overall healthcare. She practices with a science-based, non-restrictive approach. She enjoys helping each client cut through the confusion around food and find flexible strategies that repair their relationship with eating and support sustainable health.
She earned her Bachelor of Science in Biology, followed by a Master’s degree in Molecular Medicine from University of Maryland Baltimore, and a second Master’s degree in Clinical Nutrition and Integrative Health from Maryland University of Integrative Health. She is a Certified Nutrition Specialist (CNS) and Licensed Dietitian Nutritionist (LDN).
Outside of work, Holly enjoys making art, gardening, hiking, experimenting in the kitchen, and spending time with her family and pets.
