Could Low Vitamin D Cause the Winter Blues?

March 3, 2014 By Lisa Hill DiFusco

Bottle of Vitamin D3 5000 IUsIf you feel blue in the winter, there could be an easy explanation unrelated to your emotions…. low Vitamin D! Those of us who live in Rochester, blessed with incredible lakes and rolling hills, and 200 days on average of overcast skies… may be more susceptable to Vitamin D deficiency than we realize. Approximately 80-90 percent of the American public is deficient in Vitamin D. Deficiency results in loss of memory, depression, weak muscles, tender bones and frequent infections, to name just a few items. Check with your physician (or dentist) and have your Vitamin D checked. A healthy score from a Functional Medicine perspective (what the body needs to function optimally) is between 60 – 80. Contact us for more information.

The Physician of the Future

August 27, 2013 By Lisa Hill DiFusco

Some very wise words from Mr. Thomas Edison,

The doctor of the future will give no medicine, but will interest his patients in the care of the human frame, in diet, and in the cause and prevention of disease.

Sesame-Crusted Sole with Baby Bok Choy and Wild Rice

August 14, 2013 By Lisa Hill DiFusco

Try this delicious recipe from Mark Hyman’s new book The Blood Sugar Solution.

Bok choy

Serving Size: 2

Wild Rice

1/4 cup uncooked wild rice

Pinch of sea salt

3/4 cups water

Sole

1/4 cup sesame seeds

2 (4-oz) skinless sole fillets

2 tbsp sesame oil

2 heads baby bok choy, trimmed

2 garlic cloves, minced

1-inch piece fresh ginger, peeled and grated

Sea salt and freshly ground black pepper

Directions

Make the wild rice: Put the wild rice, salt and water in a medium saucepan and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat, cover and simmer for 50 to 55 minutes.

Make the sole: Place the sesame seeds on a plate. Lightly rub the sole with 1 tablespoon of the sesame oil. Press the sole onto the sesame seeds to form a crust. Set aside.

Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the remaining 1 tablespoon sesame oil and swirl it around the skillet to distribute evenly. Carefully lay the sole in the skillet. Cook the fish until golden brown, approximately 2 to 3 minutes, leaving it undisturbed to ensure a crunchy crust. Using a fish spatula, turn the sole over and brown the other side for 2 to 3 minutes. The fish should flake apart with gentle pressure when done. Remove the sole from the pan and set on a plate.

Add the bok choy, garlic and ginger to the skillet. Toss well, until the bok choy begins to wilt. Season to taste with salt and black pepper.

Place the bok choy and steamed wild rice on plates and serve the fish on top. Any leftovers can be refrigerated for up to 4 days.

Enjoy!
