Dan Kilburg has assisted over 200 Texas physicians in registering and participating in the Compassionate Use Program, which establishes legal medical marijuana for qualifying conditions in Texas.

About the Texas Compassionate Use Program:
In 2015, the Texas Legislature passed the Compassionate Use Act, which allowed for medical cannabis to be developed and delivered to patients with Intractable Epilepsy. Due to the overwhelming success of the program, the Texas Legislature expanded the Compassionate Use Program in June 2019 to include over 150 conditions. Today, over a million Texans qualify for medical cannabis

Functional Medicine @ Madina Medicine
Functional Medicine takes a root cause approach rather than focusing on individual symptoms. It sees the individual as a whole, and determines how best to address the underlying physiologic disturbances that led to the development of disease processes and how best to re-balance the body. It includes aspects of diet, lifestyle, exercise, stress relief and sleep as well as more advanced testing. More and more people are waking up to the realization that the Functional Medicine model is the best approach for chronic disease.

Let me paint you a picture. You develop symptoms or have a chronic disease and visit a physician. They see you very briefly, run some lab tests and prescribe some medications. But you don’t really have an answer of what’s wrong, or more importantly why! Maybe you were told it’s nothing to worry about or that you’re just getting older or that it’s all in your head. Maybe no one took the time to listen to you. You have a deep feeling that something is wrong and needs to be fixed. Sound familiar?
The picture I just painted is exactly how our healthcare system works right now for chronic disease. A lack of quality time with a physician, lack of personalized approach and an over emphasis on prescription medication without taking a holistic approach. I should know the conventional system, because I was trained in it. During my training, I was fortunate to witness the many positive aspects of our healthcare system when it comes to handling acute care, such as trauma, strokes, heart attacks etc. However, when it comes to chronic disease and symptoms that have a less obvious cause, our system does not have an approach that gets to the root of the issue.
That’s why I started this Functional Medicine practice. Functional Medicine takes a root cause approach rather than focusing on individual symptoms. It sees the individual as a whole, and determines how best to address the underlying physiologic disturbances that led to the development of disease processes and how best to re-balance the body. It includes aspects of diet, lifestyle, exercise, stress relief and sleep as well as more advanced testing. More and more people are waking up to the realization that the Functional Medicine model is the best approach for chronic disease.

We live in a high information society and it is the understanding of this information that is important. I am passionate about helping people connect the dots and own their own healthcare. I love to teach people about how their body works so they can understand why they are experiencing the symptoms they have and guide them to better health.
It is my joy and privilege to be able to help people get to a place where their lives are filled with joy, freedom, and ease.
