-- Megan Pennington Integrative Health is pleased to now offer functional lab food sensitivity testing through MRT/LEAP—touted as the most reliable test available in the United States. This specialized testing service identifies specific foods and chemicals that may trigger immune reactions and contribute to chronic health issues.

Megan Pennington and her team have elected to work with the benchmark Mediator Release Test (MRT), which measures reactions to 176 foods and chemicals by detecting mediator release from white blood cells. These mediators can cause inflammation, tissue damage, and physiological changes that result in chronic symptoms.
The test specifically identifies non-IgE-mediated food sensitivities, which differ from true food allergies that affect only about 5% of the population.
While allergies are better understood and produce immediate and volatile reactions, food sensitivities have increasingly been linked to many chronic conditions because reactive foods trigger immune cells to release inflammatory mediators. This immune response can affect almost every organ and system in the body, leading to a wide range of symptoms that are often difficult to connect to specific foods without proper testing.
After testing, clients will receive personalized guidance through the Lifestyle Eating and Performance (LEAP) protocol. This structured diet approach removes reactive foods temporarily, allows the body to heal, then systematically reintroduces foods to assess tolerance.
Most clients notice symptom reduction within 7-10 days, with many regaining tolerance to previously reactive foods after completing the protocol, as identifying and removing trigger foods reduces inflammation and supports long-term healing throughout the body.
Unlike elimination diets that typically only remove common allergens, the MRT/LEAP approach is developed to identify all food sensitivities, including those that don't elicit a standard immune response. This comprehensive approach addresses intolerances caused by poor digestion and localized irritation as well.
Megan Pennington Integrative Health's services are recommended for anyone experiencing symptoms such as bloating, digestive issues, fatigue, headaches, body pains, skin problems, allergies, and autoimmune conditions, which may indicate food sensitivities.
Megan Pennington is a Certified LEAP Therapist and Integrative Health Practitioner who combines conventional and integrative health approaches. Her team works to reduce inflammation, improve cellular function, identify individual immune triggers, and support natural repair processes. Their approach is described as simple, effective, flexible, and grounded in scientific research.
Their MRT/LEAP testing services are available to individuals six months and older. Support options include assessment and testing, implementation assistance, customized recipes, and comprehensive healing programs.
One happy long-term client, Super Bowl Champion Terrence Wilkins, said, "I really enjoy working with Megan. She has answered all of my questions and continues to check in to see how I’m doing. I highly recommend Megan to anyone who wants to heal their gut."
In addition to their local face-to-face practice in Pleasanton, California, Megan and her team work with clients online across the United States.
