What is Integrative Medicine?
Integrative Medicine addresses all physical, emotional, mental, social, and environmental influences that affect health. A personalized strategy that considers all the patient’s needs and circumstances, it uses interventions from an array of scientific disciplines to help people regain optimum health.
What is Functional Medicine?
Functional Medicine is the future of conventional medicine – available now. It seeks to identify and address the root causes of disease, and view the body as one integrated system, not a collection of independent organs divided up by medical specialties. It treats the whole system, not just the symptoms.

These #vegan black bean burgers are perfect for #NationalCheeseburgerDay
Ingredients:
-2 Cups cooked black beans
-4 green onions, chopped
-1 lime, juiced & zested
-1/4 tsp chili flakes or powder (optional)
-1 tsp ground cumin
-1 tsp garlic powder
-1/4 cup ground flax seed or bread crumbs
-1 handful cilantro
-Salt & Pepper to taste
Instructions:
1. Add beans to a large bowl
2. Mash roughly with a potato masher
3. Add all the ingredients to the bowl
4. Mix well, making sure everything is well combined.
5. Refrigerate for about 15 minutes (This helps firm them up a bit and makes it easier to shape the burgers)
6. Remove from the fridge
7. Shape into 4 balls, pressing them together firmly and then using the palm of your hand, press down on the top of each one to make a burger shape.
8. Place the burgers on a lined baking tray and bake in the oven on 375 until heated thoroughly and a bit crusty on the outside. (About 30 minutes)
9. Add grassfed or dairy free cheese to your burgers for the last 5 minutes to melt.
*The mixture will feel sticky but should come together well. If the burgers crack a bit, just press them gently back together. If you struggle to shape them because you feel the mixture is too sticky, add a few more tablespoons of flax seed/bread crumbs and leave for a few minutes to let it absorb the moisture before trying to shape the burgers again. ...
