The MRT (Mediator Release Test) is considered the highest standard of food sensitivity tests currently available, testing for 170 foods and food chemicals that are then designated as highly reactive, moderately reactive and low- or non-reactive.

Symptoms and conditions that may be related to food sensitivities include headaches, hives, eczema, IBS, diarrhea, bloating, reflux, brain fog, fibromyalgia, joint or muscle pain, congestion, hyperactivity,

Contact our nutrition department at [email protected] or 985-898-7050 to schedule a free initial phone consultation to discuss your symptoms and health concerns. If MRT is a fit for you, you will receive a test kit to have your blood drawn by a local lab.

Results will be sent directly to your dietitian, who will review the results with you and present a personalized dietary report and full analysis.

You and your dietitian will create a customized, guided meal plan, together – with your input along the way. Your dietitian will work closely with you throughout the process; your nutrition protocol will evolve and adapt as symptoms improve over time. You're not in this alone.
