A Metabolic Approach to Obesity

Overcome the Root Causes with Food-First Metabolic Medicine

At Food First MD, we understand that obesity and sustainable weight loss can feel like an uphill battle, especially when traditional weight loss diets fail to provide lasting results. Rather than focusing on restrictive calorie counts or fad diets, Dr. Christine Najjar takes a different approach—one that prioritizes a new relationship with food and lifestyle changes to improve your metabolism and support healthy weight loss. Work with a doctor who will ask about what you are eating, explain how your food choices relate to your symptoms, and then prescribe a nutrition plan to help you heal.

What Sets Our Approach Apart from a Traditional Weight Loss Diet?

Unlike conventional weight loss diets that simply aim to cut calories, Dr. Christine’s food-first, metabolic approach addresses the root causes of obesity. Here’s how:

Metabolism-Boosting Foods

We focus on whole, nutrient-dense foods that fuel your body and support a healthy metabolism, as opposed to limiting your intake and slowing your metabolic rate.

Root Cause Treatment

Obesity and other energy storage conditions are often symptoms of underlying metabolic dysfunction. Instead of managing these symptoms, we work to correct the root causes—such as chronic inflammation and insulin resistance—through personalized nutrition and lifestyle plans.

Holistic Care

By addressing factors like sleep, stress, and movement, we offer a comprehensive solution that goes beyond the narrow focus of a typical weight loss diet.

Tracking

Optional tools like continuous glucose monitors and ketone trackers help fine-tune food choices.

How Food First MD Can Help

Dr. Christine’s approach is designed to guide you toward sustainable, healthy weight loss by:

Stabilizing Blood Sugar: An eating plan that reduces insulin spikes and stabilizes blood sugar levels, helping you avoid the cycle of cravings and energy crashes.
Supporting Fat Loss: We focus on healthy weight loss by teaching your body to burn fat more efficiently, without the need for tracking or calorie restriction.
Boosting Energy Levels: Proper nutrition helps restore your energy throughout the day, allowing you to feel more vibrant and active.

Avoiding Unsatisfying Diets: Instead of following a restrictive weight loss diet that keeps you hungry and deprives you of essential nutrients, Dr. Christine’s approach targets hunger and cravings with satisfying foods that naturally support weight loss, well-being, and food freedom.
Improving Your Relationship to Food: By shifting your focus from restriction to nourishment, we help you build a healthier, more positive relationship with food—one where you feel empowered to make choices that support your metabolism and overall health.

Common Symptoms of Obesity

If you’re experiencing any of the following symptoms, you may be struggling with metabolic issues linked to energy storage:

Unexplained weight gain, especially around the abdomen
Intense cravings for carbohydrates or sweets
Fatigue, particularly after meals
Difficulty losing weight, even with traditional weight loss diets
Frequent hunger or irritability (commonly known as being “hangry”)
Elevated blood sugar or cholesterol levels
