Dr. Najjar is a progressive, knowledgeable & compassionate doctor who will help you get healthy & lose weight as you learn how food can work to heal you & make you healthier. She has an individualized approach, challenging you to do your best, while being very supportive. My sugar, blood pressure & cholesterol numbers were through the roof, I was considered obese, and my PC Dr said if things didn’t change I’d have to be on meds for all these issues, but with Dr Najjar’s help I lost 75 lbs & my numbers are now excellent, no need for meds, and I feel great.

Dr. Christina‘s metabolic nutrition program is incredible. Throughout my short, 2 month journey I dropped 1 size, lost 11 pounds, reduced bloat, significantly reduced my blood pressure, and increased my mental clarity and energy level. Her intelligent approach to carefully reviewing blood work and crafting a proper nutritional program to nourish my body was eye opening. I highly recommend Food First MD and Dr Christina Najjar.
