Episode 185: Dr. Christine Najjar

Thank you for joining us for another episode of the Low Carb MD
Podcast. Dr. Christine Najjar is a Board Certified Internal
Medicine and Obesity Medicine physician. She studied biochemistry
at McGill University, earned a Masters in Nutrition at Columbia
University while finishing medical school at the same time. She
did her Internal Medicine residency at University of Connecticut.


In this episode, Tro and Christine talk about the Armenian and
Lebanese diets, the severe lack of good nutritional information
in medical education, why the calories-centric model of weight
loss is not sufficient for dealing with weight loss, why the
academic nutritional community is stuck in this old
calories/energy way of thinking, the importance of paying
attention to how you feel and getting your information from
objective data, and what the ideal patient looks like.
