If You've Tried Everything

Still Not Well After Seeing Doctors, Trying Diets, Taking Supplements?

You've seen the doctors. You've tried the diets. You've done the research at midnight when the pain wouldn't let you sleep. You've spent money, time, and hope on things that helped a little — or not at all. And somewhere along the way, a quiet fear crept in: maybe this is just how my life is going to be.

It's not. You're not broken. You've just never had a map specific enough to your body.

Most approaches — even good ones — are built around averages. They treat the category of your condition, not the specific triggers driving your inflammation. That's the gap. And it's exactly what we close.

At MP Integrative Health, we use advanced functional testing and a proven clinical protocol to identify the exact foods and factors activating your immune system — then build a plan around your unique biology. Not a template. Not guesswork. A precise, personal roadmap to healing.

Your Practitioner

Meet Megan Pennington, BSc, CLT, CHHC

Over 20 years ago, Megan chose to dedicate her career to the people conventional medicine had stopped exploring answers for—those with stacks of "normal" test results who were anything but well, quietly managing symptoms while grieving the life they once had.

She holds a BSc in Dietetics and Human Nutrition from McGill University and is a Certified LEAP Therapist — one of a select group worldwide trained in the advanced MRT/LEAP food sensitivity protocol. As founder of MP Integrative Health and a 2025 Global Recognition Award Winner, she has helped hundreds of clients across the US and Canada achieve lasting relief from conditions that had resisted every prior attempt at treatment.

Her approach is precise, science-based, and deeply personal — because she knows that behind every chronic condition is a person who deserves more than symptom management.

Client testimonials

I was desperate to find help for my severe Crohn's disease. Finding Megan is the best thing to happen to me since my diagnosis nearly 10 years ago. Within days of starting my individualized program I had no pain, no diarrhea, no bloating and more energy than I've had in years.

After 25 years of medication for digestive, blood pressure, and cholesterol issues, I finally have my health back thanks to this program. My energy is back, I've lost that belly fat that would not let go along with bloating, allergies are almost non-existant, BP medication is no longer needed, and I can't wait to have my cholesterol checked! Best of all, my aches and pains are gone.

Our Methodology

Our 4-Pillar Approach to Root Cause Healing

Here's the honest truth: most approaches fail, not because you're doing the wrong things, but because you've only been given a few pieces of the puzzle. Our approach works because it addresses the primary drivers of your condition simultaneously, creating effective and lasting results.

01

Find Your Exact Triggers, Not a Generic List

This is where everything changes. We use Mediator Release Testing (MRT), the most clinically accurate food sensitivity test available, to measure how your immune system actually responds to 175+ specific foods and chemicals. Not IgG guesswork. Not a standard elimination list. Your actual immune data.

This is why clients who've tried every diet for years finally see results in weeks. We're not removing the wrong things anymore.

  • 94.5% sensitivity, the gold standard in food sensitivity testing
  • Optional add-ons: GI MAP, micronutrient testing, heavy metals
02

A Protocol Built On Your Biology

Your MRT results become the foundation of your personal LEAP Protocol, a phased eating plan that starts with your lowest-reactive foods and expands as your gut heals. No restriction for restriction's sake. Every choice is intentional and specific to your biology.

Most clients experience 50–80% symptom reduction within 2 weeks. Not because it's magic, because it's finally precise.

  • Phased reintroduction as healing progresses
  • Food & symptom tracking tools
  • Ongoing practitioner support throughout
03

Heal the Gut, Where Most Chronic Disease Actually Starts

Removing triggers stops the fire. But if leaky gut, microbial imbalance, and chronic inflammation have been building for years, the structure itself needs repair. This is the work that transforms feeling better into actually healed. We support your gut lining, restore microbial balance, and address physiological damage that has accumulated over time.

  • Targeted gut healing nutrition
  • Detoxification and organ support
  • Personalized supplement guidance
04

Mind-Body & Nervous System Support

External triggers are not the only cause of inflammation and disease. Years of pain, stress and uncertainty actively impact your immune system, your nervous system, and your body's ability to heal. For clients who choose to include this piece, we offer evidence-based mind-body tools to help your mental-emotional systems to recalibrate and allow for faster, deeper healing.

  • Nervous system recalibration
  • Stress reduction and resilience strategies
  • Hypnotherapy and somatic healing practices
  • Subconscious pattern recalibration

The Process

What to Expect: Your Healing Journey Step by Step

Our patients often tell us how relieved they felt just to have a clear path. No more guessing. No more starting over. Here's exactly what the process looks like.

1

Introductory Consultation

We start by truly understanding your story — your health history, your symptoms, what you've already tried, and what you're hoping for. This isn't a rushed intake. It's a real conversation. All appointments are virtual via secure video or phone, so you can access care wherever you are.

2

MRT Food Sensitivity Testing — Delivered To Your Home

A testing kit is mailed directly to you. You arrange a local blood draw (we walk you through every step), and the sample goes to our certified lab. Results return within 7–10 business days, providing a clear list of triggers.

3

Your Personalized Protocol

We review your results together in detail and design your LEAP Protocol — a phased plan built around your specific biology. You'll understand exactly why each recommendation is included, and you'll have a clear, manageable plan from day one.

4

Guided Implementation With Real Support

You're not handed a plan and left alone. We track your progress with specialized tools, adjust as needed, and provide regular check-ins and support throughout. You also get access to our full healing toolkit — recipes, resources, and advanced mind-body practices (if you choose).

5

Food Freedom & Long-Term Wellness

As symptoms resolve, we systematically reintroduce foods and build your sustainable long-term plan. The goal isn't to keep you dependent on our assistance — it's to give you back your life, your energy, your body. And the knowledge to keep it.

My naturopath was genuinely surprised at how much my intestines have improved. The villi and microvilli of my small intestine tested as healed! The entire process has helped to resolve several longterm issues, including intolerance and intestinal pain after eating most food. I am deeply grateful for all your assistance.

I have been active all my life and done my best to eat healthy. What I didn't know is that some foods which are considered healthy were not good for my body. At 54, I had developed arthritis in my neck and knees, which caused numbness and made everyday activities difficult. My knees started feeling better after just a few days on the program. My head is clearer and I am more productive. The IBS I've had throughout my life is healing. I am immensely grateful for Megan's guidance and this amazing healing.

Evidence-Based

Grounded in Peer-Reviewed Science

Our protocols are built on published research — not trends.

Food Sensitivity & Inflammation

Peer-reviewed research consistently demonstrates that food-induced immune responses drive chronic inflammatory conditions, and that personalized elimination diets based on proper testing significantly reduce symptoms.

Research: Diet and Inflammation →

Gut-Immune Connection

Intestinal permeability and microbiome dysbiosis are documented underlying factors in autoimmune disease and chronic inflammation — making gut healing a core part of any lasting protocol.

Research: Leaky Gut & Systemic Inflammation →

MRT Validation

MRT has been clinically validated with significantly higher accuracy than IgG and other intolerance tests.

Research: MRT Clinical Validation →

Mind-Body Medicine

Chronic stress activates inflammatory pathways and impairs immune regulation — making nervous system support an evidence-based, not optional, part of chronic disease management.

Is This Right For You?

Let's Make Sure It's a Good Fit

This Is For You If…

  • You've spent real time or money on treatments that haven't delivered lasting results — and you're done with guessing
  • You've tried supplements or even medication, but you want to address the root cause.
  • You're tired of the limitations of our traditional medical system and want a more effective approach.
  • You're dealing with gut issues, autoimmune conditions, chronic pain, skin problems, fatigue — or some other chronic condition
  • You want a precise, personalized plan, with 1-1 support from an experienced practitioner
  • You can picture what your life looks like on the other side of this — and you want to get there

This May Not Be For You If…

  • You're looking for a shortcut that doesn't require any dietary changes
  • You're not ready to follow a structured, personalized plan
  • You live outside the USA or Montreal, Canada

We always recommend maintaining care with your primary physician alongside our program. This is integrative care — it works with your medical team, not against them.

You've Waited Long Enough

Imagine waking up without dreading how your body will feel. Eating without fear. Having your life back. The risk isn't in moving forward — it's spending another year with no results.
