Christmas Salad Recipe


Instructions
How to roast Brussels Sprouts:
  1. Preheat oven to 400 F.  Lightly grease the foil-lined baking sheet with 1 tablespoon of olive oil.
  2. Trim ends of Brussels sprouts  and remove yellow leaves. 
  3. Then, slice all Brussels sprouts in half. 
  4. In a medium bowl, combine halved Brussels sprouts, 2 tablespoons of olive oil, salt (to taste), and toss to combine. 
  5. Place onto a foil-lined baking sheet, cut side down, and roast in the oven at 400 F for about 20-25 minutes. During the last 5-10 minutes of roasting, turn them over for even browning, the cut sides should be nicely and partially charred but not blackened (see my photos).
How to roast Butternut Squash:
  1. Preheat oven to 400 F. Lightly grease the foil-lined baking sheet with 1 tablespoon of olive oil.
  2. In a medium bowl, combine cubed butternut squash (peeled and seeded),1 tablespoon of olive oil, maple syrup, and cinnamon, and toss to mix.
  3. Place butternut squash in a single layer on the baking sheet. Bake for 20-25 minutes, turning once half-way through baking, until softened.
  4. Note: You can roast both Brussels sprouts and butternut squash on 2 separate baking sheets at the same time, on the same rack in the oven – that’s what I did.
How to toast pecans:
  1. Toast pecans in the preheated oven at 350 F
  2. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  3. Toast the pecans for about 5 minutes (maybe a bit longer) in the preheated oven at 350 F until they get darker in color.  
  4. Note: pecans burn really fast, so make sure to check the nuts after 5 minutes and frequently afterwords. 
Assembly:
  1. In a large bowl, combine roasted Brussels sprouts, roasted butternut squash, pecans, and cranberries, and mix to combine.

What's the To Do about Camu Camu?

Camu Camu (Kuhh-Moo Kuhh-Moo)
Camu Camu is a shrub-grown fruit that grows in the rain forests of the Amazon. 
The leaves and fruit both have medicinal value. 
In the United States, Camu Camu is most readily available in a powder form (as the fruit itself is very fragile and does not ship well)

Packed with 50 times more Vitamin C than oranges and high in free radical fighting antioxidants. 

1 teaspoon of Camu Camu powder 
contains over 600 mg of Vitamin C!
(Recommended Brands of Camu Camu Powder: 
Terrasoul, Navitas and Pure Radiance)


Why is Vitamin C so important?
Vitamin C, in its natural form, is a water soluble antioxidant 
(a very potent one at that!) 
Many people are Vitamin C deficient. 
Our bodies can put Vitamin C to work in many different ways. 
It is great for:
  • immune health 
  • wound healing
  • adrenal health 
  • skin health
  • inflammation
  • macular degeneration 
  • gum disease (which is directly linked to heart disease) 
  • depression
  • liver health 
  • and much more!
Vitamin C Protocol
For a healthy adult, a daily dose of 1 teaspoon (about 5 grams)
of Camu Camu powder is a great start!
{1/2 teaspoon for children}  
 Vitamin C is absorbed and used within 30-60 minutes of taking it, for this reason, you need to keep it in your body by taking doses every 1 - 2 hours (except while sleeping) 
Your tolerance for Vitamin C will lower, the healthier you are. If you have major health problems or a serious sickness, your body can handle as much as 100-200 grams per day. 
The simple way of finding your Vitamin C tolerance is to start by taking 4-15 grams in small doses, (that would be 4,000 to 15,000 mg total), over a 24 hour time span and if that causes bowel issues such as: gas, soft stool or diarrhea, then back off the dose, you’ve reached your limit.

Recommended Doses of Camu Camu Powder:

1. It works!
2. It is easy! – I lost 26.4 pounds at my last appointment and now 30.4.

I do intend to lose a few more pounds. With Dr. Chris’ suggestions and guidance (via email now, we are snowbirds) I won’t have any trouble. And last but surely not least Dr. Chris – I enjoyed his sense of humor and his expertise. He Cares!"

The Miracle Supplement for Allergies

Antronex 


• All natural

• No drowsiness
• No harmful effects like over the counter
• **Best Product on the market for allergies**

It regulates histamine levels, and it helps the liver filter them out of the body. It opens the airways and allows the body to receive higher oxygen levels.

What people are saying….


“Antranex is the only antihistamine that I use. I have seasonal allergies and antranex stops sneezing, running nose, and red eyes.”


“I have sinus issues and anytime I am having sinus problems due to allergies or a cold, I take antranex and within 5 min my sinuses are clear.”

“I suffer from asthma and Antranex helps open up my airways.”

“Antranex is the miracle pill for sinus issues. I highly recommend this to anyone with sinus headaches, sneezing, running nose, and any other allergy symptoms.”

They LOST IT and so can YOU!!!



Here at Legacy Clinic we have been having tremendous results with our incredible weight loss program. I want to tell you about a few patients who are on the program and are experiencing amazing results…….

Rich just lost over 30 pounds in 40 days and is well on his way to his goal of losing at least 42 pounds in 9 weeks. He says this is the easiest weight loss program that he has ever done.

Jane just finished our program and she lost just under 27 pounds in 9 weeks and lost 11.75 inches from her entire body.

Norm just lost 19.2 pounds in only 4 weeks and is seeing his belly fat melt away as planned.

Joe who finished the program in January just dropped by the office recently to tell me that even after he lost 30 pounds while on the diet he has still been applying all of the food principles and weight loss secrets he learned while on the program and has continued to lose another 10 pounds on his own!

Ginger, who finished the program recently just wrote us another awesome testimonial…

“Having had a weight-loss problem since childhood I was reluctant to try another program and spend money to do it once again. Recently the doctors at Legacy Clinic introduced me to their weight loss and management program. Since I was in a permanent weight gain mode, I decided to give it one more try. Doctor support was always available when any questions would arise. The plan was very easy to follow and I never had to buy any special foods. I did lose my 25 pounds I had intended and 10 more pounds in addition. I was VERY excited about this. I feel my overall health has improved. I am able to move around much better and my arthritis pains have decreased. I'll always be grateful and thankful for the support from the doctors and staff at Legacy Clinic.”

NOW is the perfect time to say goodbye to your unwanted weight and belly fat. Call Legacy Clinic now at (352) 259-0024 and schedule your FREE, no obligation, weight loss consultation and evaluation today.

I look forward to helping you lose your unwanted weight once and for all.

Sincerely,

Dr. Christopher Kessler

Quinoa Chicken Parmesan with Spiralized Zucchini Noodles



Ingredients:

1 cup quinoa
1 Tbsp dried Italian seasoning
2 large boneless, skinless Chicken breasts, cut in half, so they are thin (or use 4 small breasts, and pound them, thin & evenly sized)
1 tsp garlic powder
Sea salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
1/2 cup almond flour or whole wheat flour
2 large eggs, beaten
1/4 cup all natural shredded mozzarella cheese (optional)
1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
1 cup low-sugar organic marinara sauce
1/4 cup fresh basil leaves, chopped


Instructions:

1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees f.
2. Lightly oil a baking sheet or coat with nonstick spray. (I used avocado oil or olive oil spray)
3. In a large saucepan, cook quinoa according to package instructions.
4. Stir Italian seasoning into cooked quinoa, set aside.
5. Season chicken with garlic powder, sea salt and pepper, to taste.
6. Working in small batches, dredge chicken first in flour, dip into eggs, then dredge in quinoa mixture, pressing slightly to coat each breast.
7. Place chicken onto the prepared baking sheet. Place in the oven and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until golden brown, and cooked through.
8. Top with cheeses and marinara.
9. Place into oven and bake until cheeses have melted, about 3-4 additional minutes.
10. Serve immediately over spiralized zucchini noodles (I tossed my zucchini in a hot skillet with a touch of olive oil, sea salt and freshly ground black pepper, for 3 minutes before serving)

11. Garnish with fresh basil.
