What is a mediator release test?
The MRT is a simple, patented blood test that identifies our body’s reactions to 140 foods and 30 food chemicals by measuring the number of mediators released and the subsequent changes in white blood cells. In this way, the MRT test can identify which items cause an inflammatory response in your body.
How do I take the MRT test?
To get an MRT blood test you need to connect with a Certified LEAP Therapist that you’ll be working with during all of the MRT testing and LEAP diet protocol. They will help arrange testing for you.
Is MRT testing worth it?
The bottom line Lab tests, such as MRT, ALCAT, and IgG antibody tests, may not produce accurate results, though they may be helpful as a tool to help reduce the guesswork.
How long do MRT results take?
The MRT will identify the foods that cause reactions for YOU. It is done with a simple blood test and results are available in 10-14 days. Your results will show the reaction levels for 30 chemicals and 140 foods.
Do you need to fast for an MRT test?
YOU DO NOT NEED TO FAST FOR THIS TEST.

Is MRT leap testing accurate?
The purpose of the patented Mediator Release Test (MRT) is to identify and quantify which foods and chemicals cause an inflammatory response in your body. It is an accurate test with 94.5% sensitivity and 91.7% specificity.
What is the mediator release test?
The Mediator Release Test quantifies the inflammatory response to food & food-chemicals. It accounts for clinical and subclinical inflammation for the widest range of inflammatory pathways. The MRT is capable of measuring both innate and adaptive pathways.
What is mediator release and why does it matter?
Mediator release is the key event that leads to every negative effect your patients suffer. What matters clinically is that mediator release, and thus an inflammatory response has occurred – not that a potential mechanism is elevated.
What is the clinical value of MRT?
This is the clinical value of MRT . MRT is a functional measurement of diet-induced sensitivity pathways. MRT simplifies a highly complex reaction and translates that into the most useable clinical information you can get – quantifying the inflammatory response to foods and food-chemicals.
