Functional Medicine for
Chronic Conditions

Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS)

Common symptoms: Chronic bloating, gas, alternating constipation and diarrhea, abdominal pain, unpredictable bowel movements

How we help: IBS is often driven by food sensitivities, gut dysbiosis, and chronic inflammation. MRT testing identifies your specific trigger foods with 94.5% accuracy. The LEAP Protocol removes inflammatory triggers while supporting gut healing. Most clients see significant improvement within 2-4 weeks.

Research support: Clinical studies show that personalized elimination diets based on food sensitivity testing significantly reduce IBS symptoms in 75-80% of patients.

Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD) - Crohn's & Colitis

Common symptoms: Severe abdominal pain, diarrhea, weight loss, fatigue, urgent bowel movements

How we help: IBD responds incredibly well to the reduction of inflammatory triggers. Our approach focuses on immune system stabilization and gut healing. Identifying and removing food triggers can significantly reduce flare frequency and symptoms. Our approach works alongside other treatments to minimize symptoms and potentially reduce medication needs.

SIBO, Candida & Dysbiosis

Common symptoms: Severe bloating (especially after eating), gas, constipation or diarrhea, food sensitivities, fatigue

How we help: Gut imbalances often coexist with food sensitivities. We address both: identifying trigger foods that feed problematic bacteria, while using targeted nutritional support to restore healthy gut flora. This combined approach produces better results than treating either issue alone.

Hashimoto's Thyroiditis

Common symptoms: Fatigue, weight gain, cold sensitivity, hair loss, brain fog, depression, constipation

How we help: Hashimoto's is strongly linked to gut health and food sensitivities. Research shows that removing gluten and identifying other reactive foods can reduce thyroid antibodies and slow disease progression. We identify YOUR specific triggers (which often extend beyond gluten) and create a comprehensive protocol addressing gut health, nutrition, and immune activation.

What to expect: Many clients see improved energy, reduced brain fog, and stabilized thyroid markers within 1-2 months. Many are able to reduce or avoid thyroid medication.

Rheumatoid Arthritis & Inflammatory Arthritis

Common symptoms: Joint pain, swelling, morning stiffness, fatigue, reduced mobility

How we help: Food-induced inflammation significantly impacts rheumatoid arthritis symptoms. Studies show that eliminating reactive foods can reduce joint pain, swelling, and inflammatory markers. Our MRT-guided approach identifies the specific foods driving your inflammation—which may surprise you (common triggers include healthy foods like tomatoes, eggs, or certain fish).

Research support: Multiple studies demonstrate significant symptom improvement when RA patients follow personalized elimination diets based on food sensitivity testing.

Lupus, MS & Other Autoimmune Conditions

How we help: The connection between gut health, food sensitivities, and autoimmune disease is well-established. Removing inflammatory food triggers consistently helps reduce symptom severity, flare frequency, and overall damage.

Our role: We work alongside your rheumatologist, neurologist, or other specialists—providing complementary support that addresses root causes of inflammation your conventional doctor may not be targeting.

Fibromyalgia

Common symptoms: Widespread muscle pain, tender points, fatigue, sleep disturbances, brain fog, heightened pain sensitivity

How we help: Research increasingly shows that food sensitivities contribute to fibromyalgia symptoms. A study published in Clinical Rheumatology found that eliminating reactive foods significantly reduced pain levels in fibromyalgia patients. We identify your specific triggers and address gut dysfunction, which often coexists with fibromyalgia.

What clients report: Reduced pain intensity, improved sleep quality, increased energy, fewer flare-ups.

Chronic Migraines & Headaches

How we help: Food triggers are a well-established cause of migraines. But which foods trigger YOUR migraines? Common lists (chocolate, cheese, wine) don't account for individual variation. MRT testing identifies your unique triggers—which might include "healthy" foods you eat daily. Most clients see significant reduction in migraine frequency and intensity within 4-6 weeks.

Arthritis & Joint Pain

How we help: Chronic joint pain often has an inflammatory component driven by diet. Identifying and removing inflammatory food triggers reduces the overall inflammatory burden on your joints, often resulting in reduced pain, improved mobility, and decreased stiffness.

Eczema & Atopic Dermatitis

How we help: Eczema is strongly linked to food sensitivities and gut health. Studies show that identifying and removing trigger foods can significantly reduce eczema severity—often more effectively than topical steroids alone. We test for reactions to 176 foods and chemicals, addressing both obvious and hidden triggers.

Timeline: Skin improvements typically appear within 2-4 weeks as gut inflammation decreases.

Psoriasis

How we help: Psoriasis is an inflammatory condition influenced by diet, gut health, and immune function. While we can't cure psoriasis, removing inflammatory food triggers and healing the gut can significantly reduce severity, decrease flare frequency, and sometimes allow reduction of topical or systemic medications.

Chronic Hives (Urticaria) & Rashes

How we help: When hives or rashes persist despite antihistamines, food sensitivities and histamine intolerance are common culprits. MRT identifies inflammatory triggers, and our protocol addresses both food reactivity and histamine metabolism.
