LEAP Food Sensitivity Testing 

What is LEAP protocol? 

LEAP stands for Lifestyle Eating & Performance. It is a MRT, or mediator release test, which tests for foods that create inflammation in the body. The LEAP protocol is a food plan that focuses on foods that are anti-inflammatory to you!

Food Reactions: 

When we eat foods that we are “sensitive” or highly reactive to, it means certain types of cells in the immune system are releasing mediators (such as cytokines, prostaglandins, leukotrienes or histamine) through a non-allergy reaction. These mediators are often found to be responsible for directly triggering unwanted symptoms such as diarrhea, joint pain, migraines or skin breakouts, etc.

Three phases of LEAP: 

1. Phase one is elimination of your inflammatory foods to ensure you are feeling your best 
2. Phase 2 is expanding the foods to include more variety of tested food into your plan 
3. Phase 3 is continuing to add foods tested and untested to expand your diet further
