​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 170 different foods and food chemicals. Unlike other food sensitivity 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. Its 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.
*EXPERIENCE PROVIDING PRACTICAL, EVIDENCE-BASED NUTRITION THERAPY AND COUNSELING FOR OVER 8 YEARS IN TOP-TIER MEDICAL CENTERS AND PRIVATE PRACTICE.
*EXPERTISE RECOGNIZED WITH CREDENTIALS AS A CERTIFIED LEAP THERAPIST, HELPING PEOPLE WITH CHRONIC AILMENTS FIND RELIEF BY IDENTIFYING FOOD SENSITIVITIES AND ELIMINATING THEM FROM THEIR DIET.

What Clients Are Saying

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, fibromyalgia, arthritis or any others listed above
  • Despite the many treatments 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 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 only motivation for doing something like this is weight loss (weight loss is often a side effect, however there is NO diet that has been proven effective for long term maintenance of weight loss)
To find out if food sensitivities are contributing to your chronic health problems,
book a free phone chat.

If we can help you get relief, we can get you started right away.
