We are delighted to introduce you all to Dr Christine Najjar in this week's episode. Born and raised in the Hudson Valley, Christine has maintained a connection to her family’s heritage in Lebanon through summers of Mediterranean food and culture. She fell in love with human metabolism at McGill University while majoring in Biochemistry and minoring in Arabic.

Underwhelmed by her nutrition education, Christine executed a Masters in Human Nutrition at Columbia University, while completing her medical school clinical rotations. Currently, Dr Najjar is an Internal Medicine Resident in Connecticut and will be joining Pounds Transformation in September 2019. She started #doctorsdish with the intention of empowering her patients to take control of their health with her favourite drug, food. Tune in to hear her amazing story and what's she's currently up to!
