Ahhh Milk and Cookies

Milk and cookies, an iconic American snack are becoming way less popular then when I was a kid due to the whole wheat free and dairy free movement and some people are getting relief. The rest of us. . . mmm, not so much.

Did you know that only 8 foods represent 95% of all food allergies?  Removing these makes economical sense and can be do-able and I did, but I still didn't get the relief I was looking for.  

Mediated release test measures inflammation markers released from your white blood cells.  This one test alone, exposes why all fad diets will not work.  They simply leave out individuality: we don't share the same DNA or food sensitivities.

One of my favorite auto immune/Paleo meals- seasoned mouthwatering steak with lemon drizzled broccoli and a side salad with dressing finishes this healthy high energizing Paleo meal and of course I declined the tomatoes because of my autoimmune disease.

Let's get to the nitty gritty -  Exposing the problem.  This luscious meal would leave me bloated and  inflamed for a month.  The MRT test revealed what was ailing me that I couldn't guess in a decade.  A slow and steady cascade of inflammation was being squeezed from my white blood cells because I was reacting to six things in my health conscious Paleo meal.  The black pepper that was used for seasoning on my steak was a highly reactive trigger spice for me as well as the lemon on my broccoli.  To make things worse broccoli was a trigger food as well as the lettuce in my salad not to mention the hidden soy and tomatoes in my dressing.  I did what all health conscious people do,  I finished this meal with a tall glass of alkalizing lemon water which is insanely reactive for me.  Talk about pouring gas on a fire- whew!

Just like being in the sun all day does not become painful until the evening, I was getting a second degree burn from six things and just one healthy meal that would not expose the painful burn until a week later!  Of course by then at the end of seven days I would be exposed to hundreds more trigger foods continuing this cascade of inflammation; to the point I honestly could no longer detect who the arson was as there was a bandit of pyromaniacs. 

I might as well have had milk and cookies and laid out in the sun all day.  

So instead I become a problem solver by no longer guessing and decided to test.  I did the MRT and have not had to guess since!     JROD

Turning back the hands of time! Test, don't guess.

Aging gracefully is at the top of every woman's checklist and many men too.  Catherine Lea is a great example of how utilizing science based labs can turn back the hands of time and open up the flow of the fountain of youth.  She was prompted to come see us by her friend Debbie that was doing the MRT and Biosignature and was getting great results.  Catherine had several health concerns and wanted a more science based nutrition plan along with a non-drug based support plan.  Fatigue, foggy head and elevated cholesterol were her chief complaints and of course she wanted to get leaner which she knew at 53 was getting harder to do even though she watched what she ate and was health conscious.  She decided to test instead of guessing. She ran the MRT, Organix and a saliva hormone test.  Jrod put her on a protocol based off her test results along with the immunocalm diet plan from her MRT and viola!  Seven weeks later, after strict compliance she not only feels great, she looks great too.  Catherine lost 3.7% bodyfat and gained 1 lb. of lean body mass.  All 12 of her biosignature measurement sites are down and she is at 19.1% body fat at age 53 – Fantastic!  Oh yes, her cholesterol is right where it should be now without a statin so her Doctor is happy too.

Putting the plan in ACTION is where the results come in

Do you have a short fuse?  Are you looking for a big bang?  Are your expectations realistic?  Problems are not like wine, they do NOT get better with time and they rarely ever go away by themselves.   Finding out your problems is only the first step. Taking action on those problems with a plan is the second critical step.   It is just like anything else in life. . .going to McDonalds does not make you a hamburger, going to church does not make you a Christian and visiting a Doctor or nutritionist does not make you healthy.  

Health is not like an explosion it is more like a slow burn. Are you planning to fail or failing to plan?  Plan of action: #1) Run the MRT (best food sensitivity test available) and incorporate it into your personalized meal plan #2) Find your deficiencies with lab work like the Organix test.  This is like measuring the exhaust fumes from your car to determine whether it needs a tune up or an overhaul.  #3) Work with a qualified HEALTH professional (2 key words-qualified and health) to formulate a plan of action. #4) Execute the plan.  Any successful business person knows it is not an idea that makes you rich, it is the plan or system to put the idea into place.  To say this simply and obviously - eat per your MRT and take your supplements on your protocol as directed.  Not 50% of the time, not just when it is convenient, but all the time.

We plan the system for success. Systems are multi-faceted as are problems.  There is rarely ever just 1 issue to deal with, so a long term plan is necessary.  Rome was not built in a day and health is not achieved with one magical component.  Compliance to the plan is key.  Go beyond the first step.  Ask yourself this: what is the longest time you have implemented a diet change, a supplement protocol, exercise program or health plan?

12 weeks is measurable.  Anything less than that and you were just passing time.

The reality is it may not be fun, enjoyable or glamorous but 12 weeks is necessary to see a result and you have to love yourself enough to dedicate 12 weeks. 

We live in a fast food society. Everyone wants everything right now and they want it super sized.  I have been known to speak my mind without sugar coating it, stick my foot in my mouth and quite frankly piss people off. . .but that is not going to stop me from potentially doing it again right now.

Dawn' straight forward words of advice which by the way come from making mistakes, putting myself out there and taking risks and being willing to expose and humiliate myself (all I have found to be very valuable virtues by the way): 

Quit making excuses, justifications or rationalizes.  As intelligent beings we can justify and rationalize just about anything.

Quit lying to yourself thinking ignorance is bliss cuz reality is a bitch that will slap you hard in the face without batting an eye and let me tell you from experience it hurts!

Quit saying you've tried everything when you know deep down you tried a couple things, got frustrated or just got too busy and quit.

Embrace self knowledge and do not fear knowing what is happening with your body and  your system.  Fear is a tactic created by the government to keep us in line (but that is a whole other topic).

Make the commitment to you and your health.  You are worth it, no matter how weak or pathetic you are (wink, wink)!

Take ALL the steps, not just one of them and get with Jared and get a plan.

I can say all this and mean it because I too am human and have fallen off my plan here and there.  Fortunately I live with Jrod, so I don't stay off too long as he is super dedicated to health and he himself is trying to erase years of exposure and ignorance.

I am proud to say I just completed my Organix, Amino Acid Profile and GI effects and am super excited about coupling those results with my MRT that I have been following.

I will be happy to share my results and plan as making something public helps make it real and keeps one accountable.

Is food making you sick? MRT food sensitivity test can help

I was perusing facebook as any good stalker does and came across this link on Mike Hoffman's page regarding the MRT test being on the news.  Of course I have to share this link as we offer the MRT test, have been for a year now and our clients experience great success with it.  Aahhh, I just love basking in the knowledge that we are ahead of mainstream and part of what I believe is going to be a HUGE movement in nutrition and how people eat - Food sensitivity testing and personalized nutrition plans.

I totally blame the MRT for having a fabulous pregnancy at the ripe old age of 41.  Let me define fabulous so you know I am not exaggerating - Never threw up once, didn't crave anything, felt great every single day of all 9 months, kept up with the twenty somethings in the gym and front squatted less than a week before my precious bundle of joy was born.  Now of course labor was painful and loong (I'm not gonna lie) but the nurses were all amazed at my calmness, the ability to turn down drugs and lack of swelling during and after birth.

Gluten free and allergen awareness are quickly becoming popular these days and not because they are a passing fad; they are necessity driven.  Gluten sensitivity is up 400% and every 10 years the number of people with peanut allergies doubles and 40 years ago they didn't really exist.  Our bodies are unable to detox the onslaught of daily toxins and it is catching up with us and fast.

The good news is there is help!  A simple blood test called the MRT (Mediator Release Test) can pinpoint exactly which foods are causing inflammation in an individual.  The foods may be "healthy" but they are causing an inflammation response in some people which leads to disease.  Everyone is so individual; elimination diets just take too long and lack accuracy and IgE testing done by traditional Doctors only tests for an immediate allergen response.  Inflammation responses are actually the most dangerous as they are typically not acute and do not always present with obvious symptoms like allergies; however inflammation is involved with all diseases.  

It makes perfect sense to reduce inflammation and food related stress on the body and that is EXACTLY what the MRT does.
