MRT food sensitivity testing can reveal hidden inflammatory food and chemical triggers that standard labs and generic elimination diets often miss. When chronic symptoms seem unrelated, the immune system may be reacting to foods that look perfectly “healthy” on paper. The LEAP protocol uses MRT results to create a precise eating plan so the body can begin to calm inflammation instead of guessing.
There is a particular kind of exhaustion that comes from knowing something is wrong, while still being told everything looks normal.
You may have bloating one day, fatigue the next, skin flares, migraines, joint pain, brain fog, or autoimmune-type symptoms that keep escalating. You may eat well, take supplements, avoid the obvious triggers, and still feel like your body is moving in the wrong direction.
That is not weakness. It is not random. And it is not “all in your head.”
Sometimes symptoms feel disconnected because the missing link has not been tested yet.
Megan is the best. Period. She actually listened to all of my concerns and asked all of the right questions and really got to the root cause of all of my seemingly unrelated health issues. Meeting with her and doing the food sensitivity test is by far the best money I’ve ever spent. The results were mind-blowing, and I know for a fact I never would’ve figured out all of the foods that were worsening my condition on my own. If you’re thinking about doing this, JUST DO IT. If you follow the protocol she provides it’s IMPOSSIBLE to not see results!!! I cannot thank her enough. She may very well have saved my life by reversing my downward trajectory towards a full blown autoimmune disease. I wish I could give her 10 stars.

When symptoms look unrelated, inflammation may be the connection
Many people come to us after years of trying to solve each symptom separately.
A cream for the rash. Magnesium for migraines. Probiotics for bloating. Iron or B vitamins for fatigue. A cleaner diet. Another specialist. Another normal lab result.
None of those efforts are wrong. But they may not be specific enough.
The immune system does not only react to peanuts or shellfish in dramatic, obvious ways. It can also respond to everyday foods and chemicals by releasing inflammatory mediators. These mediators can affect the gut, skin, joints, brain, sinuses, hormones, and energy.
That is why one person may react to spinach, chicken, oats, or blueberries while another person does beautifully with those same foods. Your inflammatory triggers are highly individual.
Common food-driven inflammation symptoms can include:
- Bloating, reflux, IBS symptoms, loose stools, constipation, or abdominal pain
- Migraines, brain fog, mood changes, fatigue, or poor concentration
- Skin flares, joint discomfort, sinus issues, swelling, or autoimmune-type symptoms
Why guessing rarely works
Most people have already tried some version of an elimination diet before finding us.
They cut gluten. Then dairy. Then sugar. Then nightshades. Then histamines. Then they are left with a tiny list of “safe” foods and still do not feel well.
This is where MRT food sensitivity testing changes the conversation.
MRT, or Mediator Release Testing, is a blood test that measures how your immune cells respond to a wide range of foods and food chemicals. Instead of guessing which foods might be causing inflammation, MRT looks for measurable immune reactions.
Then we use those results to build the LEAP protocol, a structured, personalized eating plan based on your least reactive foods first.
This is not a generic elimination diet. It is not “eat clean and hope.” It is a clinically guided process designed to reduce immune activation by removing your specific inflammatory triggers while rebuilding variety in a thoughtful way.
The healthy foods that may not be healthy for you right now
One of the most emotional moments for clients is realizing they were not failing.
They were often eating foods they had been told were anti-inflammatory: salmon, avocado, almonds, kale, apples, turmeric, green tea. For their body, in that season, some of those foods were adding fuel to the fire.
That does not mean those foods are “bad.” It means precision matters.
MRT food sensitivity testing helps identify which foods are likely provoking mediator release so the immune system has a chance to settle. Once inflammation calms, the body often has more capacity for repair.
Clients may start to notice changes such as:
- Less bloating and more predictable digestion
- Clearer skin, fewer headaches, or reduced body aches
- More stable energy and less fear around food
Food is foundational, but it is not the whole picture
We also know that deeper healing often requires looking beyond food.
The gut and nervous system are constantly communicating. Chronic stress can keep the immune system in a state of activation, which may worsen food-driven inflammation. This stress-inflammation connection is one reason some people improve with diet changes, but still feel like their body cannot fully exhale.
Our approach is whole-person. MRT and LEAP help us identify and reduce physical triggers. When needed, we also support nervous system regulation, somatic practices, medical hypnotherapy, subconscious stress patterns, inner child work, and mind-body healing.
Not because symptoms are imaginary.
Because the body stores stress biologically. And for some clients, unresolved emotional patterns or trauma can continue to signal danger to the immune system long after the original stress has passed.
Healing is often most effective when the body feels safe on every level.
What if your body has been asking for precision?
S. Frederick’s words are powerful because they reflect what so many people quietly feel: “I never would have figured this out on my own.”
That is the point.
You should not have to keep guessing your way through chronic symptoms. You should not have to eliminate half your diet without a clear reason. You should not have to accept a downward trajectory simply because the usual testing did not explain what was happening.
MRT food sensitivity testing gives us a clearer starting point. The LEAP protocol turns that data into a practical plan. And our whole-person approach helps address the physical, emotional, and nervous system layers that can influence inflammation and recovery.
FAQ
What is MRT food sensitivity testing?
MRT food sensitivity testing is a blood test that measures how your immune cells respond to specific foods and food chemicals. It helps identify hidden inflammatory triggers that may be contributing to chronic symptoms like bloating, fatigue, migraines, skin issues, and autoimmune flares.
How is the LEAP protocol different from an elimination diet?
The LEAP protocol is personalized from your MRT results, so it is based on your immune responses rather than a standard list of foods to avoid. It starts with your least reactive foods and gradually expands your plan in a structured way.
Can stress make food sensitivity symptoms worse?
Yes. Chronic stress can keep the nervous system and immune system activated, which may intensify inflammatory responses. This is why we often combine food-trigger work with nervous system regulation and mind-body healing when deeper support is needed.
