-- Following the updates, individuals suffering from digestive issues, bloating, fatigue, and allergies can turn to the company for food sensitivity testing to identify food types that may be causing or exacerbating their symptoms.

The food sensitivity assessments take the form of a Mediator Release Test (MRT) - a blood test that measures the immune system’s reaction to over 170 foods and chemicals. MRT measures the effects that mediators have on inflammation, tissue damage, and vascular and biochemical markers.
Megan explains, “When you ingest a food or substance that causes a reaction, your immune cells release a variety of messengers called ‘mediators’ which put the body on red alert. Unfortunately, these same mediators cause inflammation, hormone changes, tissue damage, and a variety of other physiological changes that lead to chronic symptoms.”
MRT, which was developed and patented by Oxford Biomedical Technologies, Inc., differs from other intolerance testing protocols, which measure levels of IgG (immunoglobulin G), IgE (immunoglobulin E), or histamine in the blood.
Megan adds, “IgG antibody testing has become extremely popular, but the scientific literature concludes that these antibodies are in fact markers of exposure, not necessarily intolerance. The best way to test for food sensitivities is to test for the end result: mediator release.”
Once the MRT testing is complete, the team at Megan Pennington Integrative Health creates a LEAP (Lifestyle Eating and Performance) diet protocol based on the MRT results, identifying and eliminating problem foods and chemicals. Potentially reactive foods are removed from one’s diet for short periods before being gradually reintroduced as a way of assessing tolerance.
This process calms and recalibrates the digestive tract and the immune system, establishing a strong foundation for long-term healing.
According to the website, clients commonly experience a significant reduction in their symptoms within 7 to 10 days.
Traci, a recent client, says, “I have Sjogren's and my experience with MRT testing has been very positive. I have experienced major relief of my most significant symptoms: brain fog, fatigue, general malaise, joint pain, and dryness within my ears.”
