What Symptoms Can MRT® and LEAP® Help Identify and Treat?

Are you struggling with food sensitivities? MRT and LEAP can help identify and treat a wide range of chronic symptoms, including gastrointestinal issues, skin conditions, migraines, fatigue, joint pain, and mood disturbances, by pinpointing the specific foods and chemicals triggering inflammation in the body. 

 At Loop Wellness Clinic, we serve patients in Leesburg and Alexandria, VA. Our team uses MRT and LEAP to help you understand what’s happening inside your body. Call now to schedule a consultation and improve your digestive health. 

How food sensitivities affect the body 

Food sensitivities are often confused with food allergies, but they work differently. Rather than triggering an immediate immune response, food sensitivities cause delayed reactions that take hours or even days to appear. This makes them notoriously difficult to identify without testing. Because the connection between diet and symptoms is not obvious, many patients spend years in distress without ever addressing the root cause. Mediator Release Testing helps identify these hidden triggers so you can finally break the cycle of chronic inflammation in the body. 

What MRT testing measures 

Mediator Release Testing is a blood test that goes beyond standard food sensitivity tests by capturing both immediate and delayed immune responses. A blood sample is taken at our clinic and sent to a specialized lab, where it is analyzed to determine how your body reacts to each substance tested. Results come back as a color-coded chart that clearly shows which foods are low, moderate, or high triggers for you. With a sensitivity of 94.5% and specificity of 91.7%, Mediator Release Testing offers a level of accuracy that makes it one of the most reliable food sensitivity tests available. 

Symptoms that MRT and LEAP can help address 

MRT and LEAP are particularly effective for patients dealing with chronic, unexplained symptoms that have not responded to conventional treatment. Here is a look at what this approach can help with:  

• Gastrointestinal issues: Bloating, cramping, diarrhea, and constipation are often tied to specific food triggers. 
• Skin conditions: Eczema, acne, and recurring rashes are frequently linked to inflammation in the body driven by reactive foods. 
• Migraines and headaches: Chronic headaches are one of the most common symptoms associated with food sensitivities. 
• Fatigue and brain fog: Persistent low energy and difficulty concentrating are hallmark signs that food-driven inflammation may be at play. 
• Joint and muscle pain: Ongoing aches and inflammation in the joints and muscles can be a systemic response to foods the body is reacting to. 
• Mood disturbances: Anxiety, irritability, and depression have all been linked to gut inflammation, making digestive health a meaningful factor in overall emotional well-being. 

Your MRT results and treatment plan 

Once your results are ready, our team walks you through what they mean and builds a customized LEAP elimination diet around your specific trigger foods. Rather than guessing at what to avoid, you have a clear, personalized roadmap. 

Throughout treatment, our team will continue to check in and answer questions along the way. For patients in Leesburg and Alexandria, VA, this level of ongoing support is what makes the difference between short-term results and real, lasting change.
