LEAP is the acronym for the Disease Management Program called “Lifestyle, Eating and Performance” for symptoms including: GERD, IBS, migraine, fibromyalgia and inflammatory conditions which are often triggered by adverse reactions to foods and chemicals
LEAP/MRT involves:
- Initial assessment for appropriateness of LEP/MRT testing. (This is based on symptoms; ability and readiness to follow the nutrition protocol, ability to work with a LEAP therapist to be sure they know HOW to do/follow their LEAP diet.)
- MRT (Mediator Release Test) blood Testing – Local drawing of blood in a MRT Specimen Mailer. Shipping of blood specimen to the Florida Laboratory (It is a privately held, patented test and not available at regular laboratories.)
- Implementing their LEAP Oligo-antigenic diet based on their MRT results AND their clinical history to personalize the diet based on lifestyle, eating habits, cooking habits, income, etc..
- Monitoring and follow up on a regular schedule to rule out non-MRT reactions to foods.
