Healthy Eating for Hypothyroidism and Hashimoto's Disease

Successfully Address the Underlying Causes Through Food-First Metabolic Medicine

At Food First MD, we understand that managing symptoms like fatigue, weight gain, and brain fog due to hypothyroidism or Hashimoto’s disease can be overwhelming. A traditional approach to hypothyroidism often focuses on medications, but Dr. Christine Najjar’s method digs deeper—using food and lifestyle changes to restore your thyroid health naturally. Medications may still play a role, but our goal is to help you support your body’s ability to heal. You’ll work with a doctor who will ask about your food choices, explain the role of healthy eating for hypothyroidism and other conditions, and provide a personalized nutrition plan to optimize your well-being.

What Sets Metabolic Medicine Apart

Dr. Christine’s metabolic medicine approach for hypothyroidism and Hashimoto’s disease focuses on:

Root Causes, Not Just Symptoms

Instead of solely relying on thyroid medications, we look to address the underlying dysfunctions, such as inflammation, hormonal imbalances, and nutrient deficiencies, which impact thyroid function.

Personalized Nutrition Plans

We craft food-first strategies that support thyroid hormone production, improve metabolism, and reduce inflammation. We can also recommend natural thyroid prescriptions and supplements to support your health.

Holistic Care

By assessing your entire lifestyle, we identify key stressors—including food sensitivities, gut health, and autoimmune triggers—that may be worsening your thyroid condition.

Specialized Thyroid Care

In addition to our personalized plan, we can also order specialized tests including complete thyroid panels and iodine assessments.
