Mediator Release Testing (MRT) is a highly advanced method for measuring the body's inflammatory response to certain foods and common food chemicals. Results from this test are used to create a personalized LEAP (Lifestyle, Eating & Performance) protocol which can reduce inflammatory-related symptoms by 50% in just two weeks. The test quantifies the magnitude of the body's response to foods, and from this we work together from The "Safe List"to generate ideas for meals. Slowly, as you progress, new foods are challenged and added back to your normal routine. Many patients are able to return to eating foods previously restricted.
Food Sensitivities Cause Inflammation
Sensitivities are complex non-allergic, non-celiac inflammatory reactions that can result in subclinical and clinical inflammation that can manifest in a variety of clinical conditions and symptoms. These reactions differ from true food allergies, which are mediated by IgE antibodies. Instead of IgE, food sensitivities cause white blood cells to release a multitude of other mediators, which include cytokines, leukotrienes and prostaglandins. These pro-inflammatory mediators increase inflammation throughout the body and can cause a myriad of symptoms and can contribute to underlying disease. MRT measures these mediators.
