LEAP MRT Test

A personalized approach to an anti-inflammatory diet.

---

You’re in the right place if you…

• Have tried other elimination diets and are stuck eating only a handful of foods.
• Are tired of guessing and ready for support and guidance on your elimination diet.
• Suspect food plays a role in your symptoms, but you’re having difficulty determining which foods are problematic.
• Have been diagnosed with an autoimmune or inflammatory condition and can’t seem to find relief from your symptoms.
• Are willing to give up any food (and alcohol) for at least two weeks.

Trying an elimination diet on your own can be a lonely and bumpy road

Sure, you may start to feel better…but are you sure you have correctly identified all the food(s) that were causing your problems? Do you feel better, but still not your best….even though you are only eating like five foods??

Or maybe you saw another health care practitioner, and they tested you for sensitivities or allergies…and all you left the office with was a piece of paper giving you a list of foods to avoid. So frustrating and stressful! What are you supposed to eat!?

And then there’s the social aspect…do you really want to try to explain to your friends that you don’t think you can eat the kale salad they’re serving because you’re convinced (well, you’re pretty sure you’ve finally pinpointed the fact that)…KALE is causing your migraines! Or wait…maybe it was something in the dressing on the kale salad you ate last week that caused your migraine…

It’s time to stop guessing about your diet and start knowing

Since 2013, we’ve successfully guided hundreds of patients through elimination diets using LEAP MRT Testing.

You’ll learn exactly what foods in your diet are causing inflammation by completing a simple blood test.

We then lead you through a personalized anti-inflammatory diet based on your bloodwork results.

Our typical LEAP MRT client feels 50% better in just two weeks!

Here’s why we love the LEAP MRT Test

1. The MRT test looks at both foods + chemicals

• The MRT chemical panel tests for chemicals that have been added to foods and chemicals that naturally occur in foods. This gives you “insider information” you wouldn’t otherwise have into foods that may cause problems but aren’t necessarily reactive on your test panel.
• Did you know that you can react to a chemical in a food, but not the food itself on a testing panel? That’s because reactions to chemicals often are a dose/response relationship. Meaning that the more of a chemical you consume (or that is tested), the more likely you are to react.
  • An easy example is fructose – this naturally occurs in fruit. If you are reactive to fructose, maybe you can eat two fruits high in fructose and be okay, but if you eat three, you start to experience an adverse reaction – (these can be different for everyone, but a reaction to fructose is typically going to elicit a GI symptom – gas, bloating, diarrhea, constipation – it really depends on the person). 

2. We work with you to LIBERALIZE your diet as much as possible! Say goodbye to the days of eating five foods that you “think make you feel okay…maybe,” and get with us!

• We start this protocol by having you eat your least reactive foods for two weeks {we’ve crunched numbers with our client data, and typically, they feel 50% better…sometimes even more after just two weeks on this diet}, then we build back your diet using foods that won’t cause a problem based on your test results.
• You get to add one new food daily, monitoring for any reactions as you keep a food and symptom diary.

3. We focus on what you CAN eat. As dietitians and true foodies, we’re great at getting creative with limited ingredients. Plus, we’ve been doing this test for years, so we’ve worked with literally hundreds of sets of test results and are familiar with the foods and possibilities that can come with them.

• For example….if you can have rice, not only can you eat rice, but you can have rice noodles, rice cakes, rice milk, rice paper, and rice puffs (which can be used to make energy protein bites by the way).

4. And perhaps, most importantly, the LEAP MRT Test is the most accurate form of testing available for non-IgE mediated food sensitivities. These reliable test results take the guesswork out of which foods or chemicals may be causing your symptoms and allow us to help you feel better faster.
