test instructions
Here are the instructions for taking the MRT food sensitivity test. It is important to read and follow these precisely in order to ensure accurate results. Here is a link to find the best draw location for you.
Sensitive Tummy
This test is great for those that have trouble eating certain foods and want to heal their gut!
MRT Food Sensitivity Panel - Blood
This is a blood draw that will test what foods are creating a negative reaction within your body, regardless if it is a “healthy” food or not. While doing gut eradication and healing work, it is imperative to avoid foods that are causing inflammation in order to allow the gut to calm down and heal. Then, once the gut is healed and the pathogens are eradicated, most foods will be able to be reintroduced without effect. Therefore we recommend running this alongside the Gut Health Test.
Traditionally, food sensitivities are tested by looking for antibodies (IgG) to different foods in the blood. To get accurate test results, the person must have consumed enough of the food for a period of several weeks in order to produce enough antibodies for testing. This is awkward to accomplish and can therefore create inaccurate results.
Food sensitivities are also more complex than just antibody production (discussed in the Optimizing Digestion course in the Designed for Health membership). There are many other inflammatory chemicals the immune system can produce that promote sensitivities. This is where the MRT test comes in. The MRT uses a much different, and more accurate, technique to identify type 3 and type 4 food sensitivities (IgG and much more).
The MRT test works by measuring the volume change of white blood cells when they are exposed to different foods. This also eliminates a lot of false positive results that typically occur with IgG testing alone as well as not requiring you to consume foods that you know bother you just to get the reading on them.
Food sensitivities do not have to be a lifelong sentence to avoiding those foods, in fact, they should not be. If you just avoid them, you will continue to develop more sensitivities to other foods and possibly develop auto-immune reactivity.
By avoiding reactive food sensitivities during gut healing and eradication, many symptoms correlated with the food sensitivities will be eliminated!
**Note: there is a small additional fee for the blood draw from the location that you choose to do the draw at.**

What comes with the test?
By buying this test through Designed for Health, you also a customized review and analysis of your test results!
Our functional nutritional therapists will review your health history, food journals, symptom burden graph and test results. Based on seeing the big picture of who you are as well as the details of this specific test, we will create a brief interpretation of what your test results mean so that you understand how this fits into your overall health picture and what is going on with your body. We recommend that you eliminate these foods alongside a gut healing and eradicating protocol which will also be included with your results when you run it with the Gut Health Test. We will also explain in detail how to reintroduce these foods back after the protocol is completed.
Our goal is to empower you with knowledge of how your body is operating and how to improve it naturally!
We also recommend checking out information in the Designed for Health membership courses to give you further information and resources as well as an opportunity to post questions on the Q & A board. If you would like to discuss your test results further, you are more than welcome to also book a private consultation.

What our clients say!
I was so grateful to find Katrina Foe! It was very nice to work with someone who saw me as a person with individual and specific needs, rather than just a line on a list to check off. Katrina took the time to hear the whole picture and put together a protocol carefully put together just for me. She was always available to answer my many questions! I was excited to see just how much improvement we made, even eradicating an issue that I had been chipping away at for many years. I highly recommend Katrina for your medical needs!
Misty Marr
Katrina Foe is God's gift to natural medicine. As I have worked with her I have seen how she truly cares about me as her patient and friend. I have health issues that are fickle and hard to tease out. Some doctors would have given up by now or just given me meds to make the symptoms go away, but not Katrina. She has a determination to see me healed so she has stuck with me in searching for the root of my issues. This is the first time in my life I have ever made progress with my health, as well as issues I did not even realize were related to my gut and diet! My E-coli has been completely eradicated and my stomach cancer threat completely avoided! I can't recommended trusting her with your health needs highly enough!
Madison Sloan
I really enjoyed working with Katrina and felt very comfortable talking about my issues in an easy relaxed environment. I feel like I got significant relief from my digestive symptoms by taking the supplements Katrina recommended. I also experienced healing in my foot from plantar fasciitis using the many techniques Katrina gave me. Overall I was happy with my experience and outcome and wouldn't hesitate to recommend Katrina to a friend.
