How is MRT different from other food sensitivity tests?

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. 

Once you begin feeling better, we slowly add one food into your diet at a time, monitor for any reactions that may occur, and set you up for long term success.

Functional medicine uses individualized protocols based on your unique symptoms, immune system, genetics, and more. 

Functional lab testing, like the MRT food sensitivity panel, is an essential tool in our practice to personalize your care and help you find symptom relief and healing.
