MRT/LEAP Program
Individualized Food Sensitivities Testing
Food Sensitivities affect between 30-40% of our population and studies have found that food sensitivities also play a huge part in many of our health challenges.
That is where a simple blood test, MRT® (Mediator Release Test), gives insight into 170 inflammation provoking foods and chemicals, but more importantly MRT® identifies your BEST foods – the foods that form the basis of the LEAP Eating Plan.

Micronutrient Testing
Nutritional balance plays a key role in optimal wellness, chronic disease prevention and managing the aging process. Whether you are deficient or borderline deficient, this test will help me tailor a program just for you to guarantee optimal results. How do you know it’s for you?
• If you find yourself feeling stressed, tired and maybe a little depressed.
• If you take prescription medicines to alleviate symptoms of certain conditions, but wonder why the condition exists at all.
• If you want to boost your immune system now, to possibly prevent chronic disease later.
SpectraCell's Micronutrient Test includes:
SpectraCell’s Micronutrient panel measure the function of 35 nutritional components including vitamins, antioxidants, minerals and amino acids with our white blood cells.
DSL-GI-MAP
The Gastrointestinal Microbial Assay Plus (GI-MAP) was designed to assess your microbiome from a single stool sample, with particular attention to microbes that may be disturbing normal microbial balance and may contribute to perturbations in the gastrointestinal (GI) flora or illness. The panel is a comprehensive collection of microbial targets as well as immune and digestive markers. It screens for pathogenic bacteria, commensal bacteria, opportunistic pathogens, fungi, viruses, and parasites. It primarily uses automated DNA analysis to give integrative and functional medicine practitioners a better view into the gastrointestinal microbiome.
GI-MAP™ DNA PCR stool test:
• 70+ analytes via DNA PCR, 7 analytes via EIA
• Panel Covers: Pathogens (Viral and Parasitic), Quantitative H. Pylori with Virulence Factors, Opportunistic Bacteria, Parasites, Fungi/Yeast, Digestion, Immune Response, Inflammation, and Zonulin is an add-on test (Gut permeability marker)
• Turnaround time: 4-7 business days.
• GI-MAP is covered by Medicare and other insurances
Functional Lab Testing
Genetics/MTHFR
MTHFR is an enzyme responsible for converting 5,10-methylenetetrahydrofolate to the product 5-methyltetrahydrofolate - it is involved in the metabolism of folate and homocysteine. The product of the reaction catalyzed by MTHFR converts homocysteine (a potentially toxic amino acid) to methionine (a useful and nece ssary amino acid).
Why is MTHFR Genotyping important?
• Certain mutations in the gene coding for MTHFR produce an enzyme that has reduced activity.
• Reduced activity can lead to elevated levels of homocysteine (a.k.a. hyperhomocysteinemia), especially when folate levels are low.
• High homocysteine (>13umol/L) may double the risk of developing illness or complications.
• MTHFR genotyping can provide information about potential causes of elevated homocysteine and approaches for addressing it.
• Based on MTHFR and homocysteine results, physicians can develop dietary and medical recommendations - increased intake of folate alone or in combination with vitamins B6 and B12 are recommended.
• Based on results, recommendations for methotrexate dosage can be adjusted.
Who should be tested?
• Those with high homocysteine levels.
• Those who have a familial history of cardiovascular disease, stroke or thrombosis.
• Those who are candidates for long-term methotrexate therapy.
DUTCH Test
(Dried Urine Test for Comprehensive Hormones)
Precision Analytical’s flagship hormone test, the DUTCH Complete uses dried-urine collections to offer a comprehensive look at sex and adrenal hormones, their metabolites, melatonin, 8-OHdG (an oxidative stress marker), as well as the diurnal pattern of free cortisol and metabolites of cortisol. The DUTCH Plus™ adds salivary cortisol markers to create an unprecedented tool for functional medicine practitioners. Over the past few years, scientific literature has collected an impressive list of studies that show the cortisol awakening response has independent clinical value in evaluating HPA-axis function.
