I love working with Dr Christine. She is so knowledgeable, and I feel in control of my weight, eating and weight loss goals for the first time ever. I think I tried everything else and failed. Loving the new regimen. I feel great.

Lisa Strom

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.

Susan Spalla

Dr. Christine is a knowledgeable friendly open person. Very easy to communicate with. She has a great ability to take time and listen to your health concerns, then giving good sound feedback on how to accomplish your goals.

Diane Barry

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.

Cecile Seth
