How is MRT different from other food sensitivity tests?
MRT + LEAP Elimination Diet
We use the MRT panel with an elimination diet protocol, called LEAP (Lifestyle Eating and Performance). Our dietitian is a Certified LEAP Therapist, which means she has specific training to interpret the MRT food sensitivity panel and guide patients through the LEAP elimination diet.
Treating food sensitivities is more than just avoiding your red and yellow (reactive) foods. Our dietitian works with you to develop a personalized food sensitivity elimination diet based on your MRT results and functional nutrition assessment.
The diet protocol is broken into phases over a 2 to 3 month period. For the first two weeks, you will eat roughly 30 of your lowest reactive “green” foods. In this time, many people experience a 50 to 75% reduction in their symptom frequency and/or severity.

PCOS and Thyroid
While researchers aren’t quite sure how these two conditions are related, it is clear that there is a bidirectional relationship. For example, women with PCOS are three times more likely to also suffer from Hashimoto’s thyroid disease than the general population. At the same time, polycystic appearing ovaries can be a clinical sign of hypothyroidism. This is why your doctor should rule out hypothyroidism before diagnosing PCOS. PCOS and thyroid conditions also share common characteristics, like period irregularities, increased insulin resistance, and dysregulation of the immune system.
PCOS and Constipation
Constipation is a fairly common symptom among women with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS). In this article, we’ll discuss the relationship between PCOS and constipation, and how you can treat the root cause of both of these conditions with diet, lifestyle, and targeted supplementation.
