immune-related food reactivity
Food Sensitivity & MRT
LEAP protocols, correlation of adiponectin/leptin with diet,
elimination/rotation plans.
MRT helps find the best foods for your body by measuring how
strongly your immune system reacts to different foods. It’s the only
test that shows not just which foods cause the biggest reactions,
but also which ones cause the smallest.
These low-reactive foods are likely to be the safest and most
comfortable for your body4especially when food allergies and
conditions like celiac disease are already considered.
With this information, a special eating plan called LEAP can be
made just for you. It starts with the least reactive foods and adds
new ones slowly, making it easier to stick with and feel better over
time. This simple, step-by-step approach helps people make smart
food choices without guessing4and is a big reason why both
patients and practitioners trust it.
