​Lets Cut to the Chase...

​YOUR ROAD TO RECOVERY STARTS HERE.

With Our MRT+LEAP Food Sensitivity Program

MRT in combination with the LEAP program is a strategic and highly effective method of dealing with the dietary components of many chronic conditions and symptoms caused by delayed food sensitivities that are often failed by conventional treatments. Diet is typically the area that gets the least amount of attention but in most cases is the key to finding relief. 

Mediator Release Test (MRT)​ is a blood test that measures your body's immune reaction to 176 different foods and food chemicals. Unlike other tests that measure presence of antibodies which may or may not be causing problems for you, MRT measures if a reaction is actually happening in your body when exposed to specific foods.​ It is the most accurate and most comprehensive test available for determining food sensitivities (sensitivity of 94.5% and specificity of 91.7%).

​Lifestyle Eating and Performance (LEAP) is the eating plan that follows the test so you can use foods to calm inflammation, heal your body from the inside out and feel better. It starts with eating only your most non-reactive foods for 2 weeks, then gradually reintroducing other foods back in to determine what your tolerance level is for higher reactive and non-tested foods. It's a complex process that requires guidance by someone who knows the ins and outs of food sensitivities and can help you with meal planning, troubleshooting and more. As Certified LEAP Therapists, we can help you FINALLY get relief from the pain and discomfort of your chronic health problems.
AS CERTIFIED LEAP THERAPISTS, WE HELP PEOPLE WITH CHRONIC HEALTH PROBLEMS THAT HAVEN'T HAD GREAT RESULTS WITH OTHER TREATMENTS OR DIETS ALLEVIATE OR RESOLVE  SYMPTOMS BY ADDRESSING FOOD SENSITIVITIES.

"Prior to meeting with Marlene, I didn't have any interest in understanding the implications that foods had on my digestive tract. I now realize that proper nutrition was the MOST important factor in healing my Ulcerative Colitis. Her medical background of understanding digestive ailments, combined with her expertise as a nutritionist, provided a needed path to recovery. Her counseling was very clear and concise and mapped out a specific plan which got me off TPN and back into my regular life. I would absolutely recommend Marlene to anyone with similar circumstances!"

Could YOU have the next life-changing experience?

This program is for you if...

  • You have a chronic health problem such as IBS, migraines, arthritis, fibromyalgia or any others listed above
  • Despite the many treatments or diets you've tried, you're still experiencing frequent painful and/or life-interrupting symptoms
  • You're ready to take the bull by the horns and get to the root of your health
  • You like efficiency and want to cut to the chase with an eating plan that's customized for you specifically, not just another fad diet

This program is NOT for you if...

  • You don't think the food you eat has anything to do with your health
  • You'd rather take a pill than change your diet
  • You couldn't give up a particular food or drink for at least 2 weeks
  • You're not willing to spend time preparing food from scratch rather than rely on packaged foods or eating out
  • Your motivation for doing something like this is weight loss (this is not a weight loss program, we practice from a Health At Every Size framework)
  • You are struggling with disordered eating or an eating disorder (instead, please schedule an initial nutrition assessment here)

Frequently Asked Questions:

HOW MANY SESSIONS DOES THE PROGRAM INCLUDE?
​There’s no limit on how many times we meet. You get as much support as you need to be successful in the program. We care mostly about getting you to your goal as quickly as possible so we don’t put a limit on our time together. Most of our clients find that meeting every couple weeks is a good frequency with email/ phone support in between.

In addition to unlimited sessions and support, the program also includes the MRT test, your personalized LEAP eating plan, a member's-only website with loads of resources to help you be successful, discounts, and access to our private Facebook group.
HOW LONG IS THE PROGRAM?  HOW SOON CAN I GET STARTED?
The program is 12 weeks long. This is the minimum amount of time we need to make sure you’re on the right path for healing, though most clients experience a great reduction in symptoms in the first couple weeks. During our call, if we feel that we can help you and that you’re a good fit for the program, we’ll let you know and ask you to make a decision on the phone if you can. The sooner you make the decision, the sooner we start. Most people can start within 1-2 weeks, unless we have a waitlist.
Will My Insurance Cover the Program Cost? 
We accept most insurance plans. Please click here for a list of insurances we accept and help determining what your plan covers. The only part of the program that can be billed to insurance are the face-to-face visits. Because the program includes much more than just those visits, a significant portion of the cost will always be self-pay, even with the best insurance plans. On our call, we will provide an estimate for your out-of-pocket costs based on your insurance situation. For the most accurate estimate, we highly recommend you ask your insurance these questions prior to our call. You can use a HSA or FSA card to pay for your portion of the cost.
I'M NOT IN WASHINGTON STATE... CAN I STILL WORK WITH YOU?
​If you live outside of Washington State, please contact us prior to scheduling a call to determine if we can work with you. It depends on the current licensure laws of your state.
