Mediator Release Testing (MRT): Discover Hidden Food Sensitivities

Struggling with Mystery Symptoms?

Are you having a hard time losing weight, no matter what program or diet you try? Can’t figure out why you still don’t feel good, even though you eat well? Always feel bloated after meals? Have you ever thought that your food, even if it’s healthy, might be making you sick? There are so many elimination diets and specialized diet protocols for different health issues—all of which have value and can be useful. But sometimes figuring out which ones you need, the ones that will actually offer you benefit in reaching your health goals, can be murky and confusing. That’s where Cambiati Wellness Programs comes in. Let us guide you to figure out what targeted diet tools will help bring you to your most vibrant health. Learn more about food sensitivity testing and if it may be right for you. We don’t use any old food sensitivity test, but MRT (Mediator Release Testing), which we find to be the most effective.

“MRT (Mediator Release Testing) reliably identifies reactive foods, and I consistently see remarkable clinical improvement in my patients by implementing a diet based on MRT results.” – Fred Williams, MD, Gastroenterology

Learn Your Food Triggers

Struggling with digestive issues?

Do you have fatigue, nausea, headaches, or skin issues?

Are your tests normal but you know something is wrong?

Have you tried lots of things but can’t seem to release the weight once and for all?

Do you have mystery symptoms your doctor can’t figure out?

Is conventional medicine making you feel crazy?

Food Sensitivity Testing

We now have the technology to get to the bottom of your life-hindering symptoms and get you back to feeling your best. Millions of Americans are suffering from food sensitivities that cause conditions like irritable bowel syndrome, acid reflux, skin issues, brain fog, fatigue, bloating, and much more. Medications for these symptoms provide relief but don’t solve the underlying problem. By doing a Mediator Release Test (MRT), you will uncover the underlying food sensitives that are contributing to your health problems. The MRT test is the most comprehensive blood test available for food reactions or intolerances. The test analyzes foods and food-chemicals that could be triggering your symptoms. Some food sensitivities have delayed symptoms or “silent symptoms,” making them very difficult to uncover.

What Does the Food Intolerance Test Measure?

Foods that most people believe to be healthy such as salmon, garlic, tomatoes, chicken, and apples could aggravate symptoms in some individuals. MRT (Mediator Release Testing) measures changes in the liquids to solids ratio of your blood after you’ve been exposed food chemicals and accounts for all reactions by your immune cells. The test lists foods as “non-reactive”, “moderately reactive”, and “reactive” listing the foods that are best for you and which foods to avoid. Once you eliminate these trigger foods, your body will begin to heal, and you will restore your health. Our food sensitivity test provides a natural, drug free way to support an individual’s health.

Finally Get Solutions

We know you have probably tried everything to feel better, and maybe some things have worked a little bit, or temporarily. It can be frustrating to put in time, effort and money, only to continue struggling with your health symptoms. Maybe you are like our client Shana who was on seven different medications and nothing worked until she did food intolerance testing with Cambiati Wellness Programs, which resolved her symptoms. Or maybe your doctors have made you feel crazy saying that all of the tests are “normal” and chalked things up to anxiety. Or perhaps they just have no answers. You’ve probably been through the wringer and are just wanting to feel better. We get it. You are in the right place.

That’s why we offer a no-cost session. Book your Breakthrough Session with a nutritionist to find out if food intolerance testing is right for you.

I Don’t Notice A Reaction to Foods, So I Must Not Have Any Food Sensitivities, Right?

Food sensitivities tend to be chronic, frequent, and are extremely difficult to identify. Most medical tests can’t identify issues at the cellular level. In many cases, symptoms do not appear until 48-72 hours after consuming a problematic food. This makes it really hard to know which food was the reactive food. If you are not being incredibly diligent then you might never know what is causing your symptoms.

If you have followed our blueprinting process then you may have already identified foods that make you feel sick or cause symptoms and most people suspect that certain foods may be a problem, but are unaware what those foods (or food additives) are. And they might really surprise you. Foods that may seem perfectly healthy can cause major issue for some people. We have even seen foods like salmon and spinach be reactive for people!

While you can do lot of blueprinting, it is incredibly tedious and takes a lot of discipline. This is a great way to shortcut the process. That doesn’t mean that you don’t have to still follow a process, but it does mean that you can get a guide to speed up the process and to inspire you to take the next step toward feeling your best. If you suffer from migraines, fibromyalgia, IBS, or other health concerns, then our Food Sensitivity Testing program called MRT-LEAP may finally give you the answers and a solution to your problems. LEAP stands for Lifestyle, Eating, and Performance. The LEAP program uses a blood test and analysis called the Mediator Release Test (MRT) to identify hidden food intolerances or “trigger foods”. This blood test is more sophisticated than the other blood tests that you may have had (like the ELISA IgG).

Why Our Tests are Different

Why choose Mediator Release Testing (MRT) instead of a test you order online? Because, it works.

Many clients have come to us after spending money on an online test just to find that they didn’t get results. The Mediator Release Test (MRT) works differently. It looks at mediator responses (inflammatory markers) in the body versus antibodies, which helps relieve many mystery symptoms like diarrhea, constipation, bloating, abdominal pain, IBS, fatigue, fibromyalgia, chronic headaches and migraines, joint pain, and general inflammation.

Extensive research indicates that heightened mechanisms in food sensitivity, such as elevated food-specific IgG or immune complexes, lack consistent correlation with inflammation or symptoms. Clinically, the pivotal event causing negative effects in patients is mediator release. The crucial factor is the occurrence of mediator release, leading to an inflammatory response.

Each food sensitivity test has its unique focus and strengths, with variations in measurement techniques and reliability.

For instance, the ELISA test, a popular choice, measures food reactions in a different way. It gauges the color change in lymphocytes exposed to more than 400 different foods and chemicals. While comprehensive, the ELISA test lacks published studies on reliability and validity and doesn’t address mediator release, a crucial underlying cause of food sensitivity reactions.

The ALCAT test, akin to the MRT test, measures endpoint changes in white blood cell volume before and after exposure, taking mediator release into consideration. Although relatively accurate (86% accuracy), the ALCAT test uses older technology, has not been updated since the 1990s, and exhibits lower split-sample reproducibility than the MRT test.

The MRT test stands out as a cutting-edge and holistic option among food sensitivity tests. It boasts a 93.6% split sample reproducibility and a 94.5% sensitivity compared to other common tests.

Testimonials

I have struggled with chronic fatigue for years, requiring large doses of stimulant medication to wake up and stay awake during the day. After one month, I was able to reduce and then eliminate the medication.

– Brian

Before the program I was never able to do a diet for one month and it was so hard. But with Cambiati I never felt like it was hard. I wasn’t hungry, I didn’t crave sweets, I feel really positive and my fibromyalgia is better, and I take medicine only once a day.

-Teresa

I was in a lot of pain, embarrassed by my condition, and did not feel supported by the medical community. Testing at Cambiati revealed that I had been misdiagnosed and that was why none of the medications had worked. After doing food sensitivity testing at Cambiati my symptoms are nonexistent. I was skeptical at first but I am so glad that I came to Cambiati Wellness.

Frequently Asked Questions

A blind peer reviewed scientific study showed that MRT had the highest level of accuracy compared to other food sensitivity blood tests. It is accurate to 94.5% for sensitivity and 91.8% specificity).

Food sensitivity testing is done using the patented MRT, which is an accurate “end-point” test. What this means is that it does not measure antibodies such as IgG, IgA, or IgE. Instead it indirectly measures mediator release (cytokines, prostaglandins, leukotrienes, and other mediators from various white blood cells) through precise measurement of changes to liquid/solids ratio of a blood sample after whole blood has been incubated with an individual food, additive, or chemical. It is the most accurate test (sensitivity 94.5% & specificity 91.7%) and the most comprehensive test available for determining food sensitivities and has helped thousands of people identify their triggers and put an end to their suffering.

Your MRT results are presented to you in an easy to read graph (see sample below) showing low reactive, moderately reactive, and highly reactive foods and chemicals/additives. Then we will work with you to create your personalized plan (LEAP Protocol). Once the test is complete, we schedule you up with a Registered Dietitian who specializes in analyzes these test results and customizing an eating plan just for you. The RD will set you on a path to feel your best by avoiding reactive foods and eating foods that your body loves.

How MRT Compares to IgG: There are many advantages of MRT over any form of IgG testing. MRT is an endpoint test, meaning that all the immune based adverse reactions that end up causing a mediator release in the blood will be identified. So MRT does this without caring about the mechanism (such as IgG). In fact, MRT considers the actions of all mechanisms, whether they are antibodies or other, because all of them ultimately cause white blood cells to release mediators. MRT includes a much wider array of reactions than the relatively simple IgG testing. In addition, MRT identifies reactions to chemicals. Overall MRT is more accurate and useful clinically.
