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.

Is your protein shake making you fat?

Check out this clip on how to avoid a cottage cheese butt.  If you exercise regularly and still have a muffin top or too much back you may want to consider changing your recovery drink to a medical food.  They are designed to be low allergen and have a specific purpose.  For example Estrogenomics from Poliquin aids in detoxing estrogens, Nutriclear from Biotics helps detox pesticides and they are both rice based which puts them low on the allergen list.

Protein shakes have a tendancy to spike insulin, so you want to pick a high quality protein that is a source you and your stomach can tolerate.  If you feel gassy or bloated after your work-out drink that is a big sign to get rid of it and switch to a different protein source.

As always let me state the obvious:  Soy in a protein shake is very undesirable, if the container looks like a rocket ship and makes great promises it is probably junk, Wal-mart and Costco are NOT your best places to buy a quality supplement.

Quit crying like a little girl- Be proactive and strengthen your immune system

  Aaachoo!  When a cold or flu hits, time is of the essence.  Listen to this quick clip to find out what you need before you find yourself praying to the porcelain god.  Be prepared before crap happens (literally)!

Taking out the Garbage - Part I

How toxic are YOU?  We all have some level of toxicity due to normal everyday life.  Some have been more exposed than others to toxins based on their job or where they live or their hobbies.

The key is can you detox what you are being exposed to?

Why stop at the Green Light. . . ?

Do you stop at every intersection even though the light is green?  Of course not, it takes long enough to get somewhere just stopping at the red lights.  That is exactly what the MRT food sensitivity test does it tells you what foods to remove (red) and what foods to enjoy (green).
If you were going to Hawaii on vacation, you would fly not walk.  You want to get there and enjoy it, not spend your hard earned 2 weeks of vacation walking.  You don’t want to spend a lifetime guessing which foods are making you sick or keeping you from losing weight, you want to find out and enjoy a healthy, lean life .  No need to haphazardly remove foods, the MRT tells you exactly what to remove and which ones streamline the road to health.
I for one, am elated to be able to have Velveeta cheese again.  I avoided dairy for many years and was happy to find out I could have this 1 cheese (just not other cheeses) and was not heart- broken to find out, I should remove spinach and lettuce from my diet.
