The MRT food sensitivity test provides insight into inflammation-provoking foods and food chemicals, and also identifies the foods that are optimal choices for your ultimate health and wellness.
WHY:
The MRT test screens for 176 food and chemical sensitivities. This test allows us to see what foods are currently causing an inflammatory burden in your body so we can personalize your nutrition guidelines and instantly take some stress off your body.
What the MRT EVALUATES:
The Mediator Release Test measures how white blood cells react when exposed to 176 foods and chemicals, tracking changes in blood solids-to-liquids ratio as an indicator of inflammatory mediator release (histamine, cytokines, prostaglandins, etc.) — not just antibody presence like IgG tests.
WHAT WE CAN LEARN FROM Food Sensitivity TESTING:
We learn which specific foods and additives are driving a person's inflammatory symptoms — bloating, fatigue, migraines, joint pain, skin issues, IBS — even when standard allergy tests come back clean. Results rank reactive foods by severity, giving a clear roadmap for an elimination diet and reintroduction plan.
Why We Use MRT:
A blinded peer reviewed scientific study showed MRT to have the highest level of accuracy of any food-sensitivity blood test.
The Lifestyle Eating and Performance or LEAP is a specialized food plan based on the results from the MRT that is tailored to you and your body’s needs.
