A novel chiral power counting for nuclear matter with nucleons and pions as degrees of freedom will be presented. This allows for systematic expansion taking into account both local as well as pion-mediated inter-nucleon interactions. It also identifies some non-perturbative string of diagrams, related to NN initial and final state interactions, to be resummed. We have applied this power counting to the pion self-energy in asymmetric nuclear matter.
