OUR TESTS
MRT Test & the LEAP Program
The Process
Your blood gets collected at the office or medical center.
# 1:
Blood Collection
A follow-up visit is scheduled to discuss the results and to create a personalized plan.
#4:
Personalized Follow-up
The laboratory uses patented methods to assess various factors, generating detailed results which are relayed to our team.
#3: Comprehensive Results
The collected blood is sent to Oxford Biomedical Labs.
#2:
Laboratory Analysis
The Personalized Follow Up
MRT TEST & RESULTS
With the ever changing world we live in and the rise in various allergies and viruses, words like cytokines, prostaglandins and histamines are being common everyday words being tossed around.
What are they exactly? Well these are just some of the mediators that food and food chemicals can release into your blood stream causing inflammation in isolated or various part of your body. They are the KEYs that start the negative symptomatic effects in motion. Leaving you feeling tired, irritable, confused, unable to focus, causing headaches, migraines, pain and well just plain awful.
Mediator release is a major contributor to the inflammation related to food sensitivities. MRT results provide a foundation for a personalized nutrition plan, often referred to as the Immunocalm Diet or LEAP Protocol.
The MRT (Mediator Release Test) blood test measures the release of these mediators from the white blood cells after being exposed to 176 foods (antigens) and food chemicals correlating with food sensitivity symptoms.
he MRT test measures Type III and Type IV food sensitivity reactions, but this does not test for food allergies or intolerances.
It is essential to work with an experienced practitioner to compile the results.
THE MRT - LEAP PROTOCOL
Unlocking Optimal Health :
The MRT-LEAP Protocol is the most effective anti-inflammatory program available today. The results allow us to identify those foods and food chemicals inducing changes in YOUR white blood cells.
Traditional elimination diets don't reveal clinical and subclinical reactions. Our protocol helps identify foods and food chemicals causing varying degrees of inflammation in YOUR body.
FOOD FOR THOUGHT
Removing added chemicals from food is only part of the solution. Many are unaware that naturally occurring chemicals in foods, supplements, and even medications like aspirin can cause sensitivities. The MRT test helps identify these overlooked dietary factors.
Expansion Phase:
Further expands and "normalizes" the diet by continuing to challenge with untested foods. During this phase the goal is to increase dietary diversification, to develop a nutrient-dense diet and a healthy microbiome.
03
ImmunoCalm Phase:
Quickly reduces inflammation. It is during this phase where a symptomatic baseline is established and a noticeable reduction in symptoms can occur.
01
Challenger Phase:
Challenges the diet with additional tested foods. Only one new food is added per day to monitor for delayed reactions. As inflammation decreases additional tested foods are incorporated.
