Lab testing can be an effective tool for determining your current unique bio-individual needs while highlighting potential areas of concern. Below are a collection of informative testing options and evaluations should you like to dig more deeply into your health needs.


MRT Food Allergy & Sensitivity Testing

Length of session: 60 minutes
Your health investment: Lab Fee = $335; Session & Analysis Fee = $85 or included in a Nutritive Program = $0

Welcome to Mediator-Release Food Reactivity Testing: It is not uncommon for our bodies to become reactive and overly sensitive to particular foods at times, depending on exposure, predisposition, and the quantity/quality that is consumed. Accurately identify current food allergies and sensitivities with Mediator-Release Testing (MRT) - a highly accurate and broad-spectrum blood analysis that determines your current reactivity to 170 different foods, chemicals, and additives. This snapshot into your body's current responses provides a clear roadmap towards your optimal dietary plan and protocol. 

This service includes the lab test fee ($335) and a 60 minute session to review your results and answer questions (available in-person or via phone) to those who are currently enrolled in or have completed one of my Nutritive or Group Programs.

If you are not a current or prior client but are interested in this service - please contact me to discuss directly by booking a 30 minute Meet & Greet Discovery Call to briefly discuss what brought you to my services and what my approach is to see if I am the right Nutritional Therapy Practitioner for you and your needs. This session provides an opportunity to touch on your primary health concerns and answer any of your questions about completing the blood draw and lab test.

Dive into the depths and details of your body's mineral status, detoxification abilities, and identify organs and functions most in need of support and attention. This in-depth HTMA testing requires a simple hair root sample to shed light on these often guessed-at details and provides the evidence necessary for optimizing protocols and recommendations. For answers to FAQs and to learn more about HTMA click here.

Your first session is the Initial Nutritional Interview Assessment: this is an in-depth 90 minute consultation where we get to know each other as we dive deeply into your primary health concerns, medical and nutritional histories, and current dietary patterns. Your personal needs, symptoms and goals for your health will be discussed and your HTMA results will be reviewed. A bio-individually appropriate Nutritive Protocol to promote optimal mineral balancing and function will be created for you based on your HTMA results and assessments. 

Your Initial Interview & HTMA Review includes:

  • An in-depth interview and review of your health history, primary concerns, and dietary patterns.
  • Review of your HTMA results and discussion of appropriate action steps and protocols.
  • Learning and exploring Nutritional Therapy concepts and how they apply to you and your needs.
  • Functional Evaluations and Physical Assessments as deemed necessary by your NTP.
