Metabolic Medicine and Heart Health

Take Control of Your Cardiac Health with Food-First Metabolic Medicine

At Food First MD, we recognize how challenging it can be to manage cardiac conditions such as high blood pressure, and heart disease. Rather than relying solely on medications and traditional cardiac health diets, Dr. Christine Najjar offers a proactive solution with a focus on personalized nutrition and lifestyle changes. Her approach helps address the root causes of cardiovascular issues while promoting long-term heart health through a cardiac nutrition plan tailored to your individual needs.

What Sets Metabolic Medicine Apart from a Standard Heart Health Diet?

Unlike conventional heart health plans that primarily focus on reducing sodium or managing cholesterol, Dr. Christine’s food-first, metabolic approach targets the root causes of heart health issues. Here’s how:

Whole-Body Nutrition

We emphasize whole, nutrient-rich foods that nourish your whole body, supporting sustained energy and a balanced metabolism rather than limiting essential nutrients.

Root Cause Treatment

Conditions like hypertension and heart disease often stem from underlying metabolic issues. Instead of simply managing symptoms, we work to correct root causes through personalized dietary and lifestyle strategies.

Holistic Approach

By focusing on key lifestyle factors like quality sleep, stress management, and regular movement, we provide a well-rounded approach beyond the limited scope of conventional heart health plans.

Heart-Specific Care

As part of your personal health plan, we may recommend mineral supplements to support your cardiac health. We may also order and follow the trend of coronary artery calcium (CAC) scores to determine your risk levels.
