Mediator Release Test (MRT) and Dietitian Designed Food Plan

The best test for food sensitivities AND your custom food plan

Due to high demand, we are currently only able to offer this to our Get to the Root members.

$750.00
At Root Functional Medicine, we have seen the most success using the Mediator Release Test (MRT) for food sensitivities and ImmunoCalm protocol with the following conditions:
  • Irritable Bowel Syndrome with Diarrhea (IBS-D)
  • Hashimoto’s Thyroiditis
  • Rheumatoid Arthritis
  • Symptoms such as joint pain, brain fog, and fatigue
  • Migraines/headaches
  • Fibromyalgia
  • Weight gain due to inflammation
  • Various skin problems such as eczema, acne, and dry/itchy skin
This test might be for you if:
  • You are highly motivated to make major dietary changes for at least 6 weeks.
  • You are ready to feel better FAST. Most people see a 50-75% reduction in their initial symptom score within 14 days on the protocol.
  • You think your health is worth investing in.
  • There are no foods you wouldn’t be willing to give up for a short period of time (we are talking bread, alcohol, chocolate, and cheese, among many other foods.)
  • You are ready to start feeling amazing by improving digestion, reducing brain fog, increasing energy, and reducing joint pain (among many other possible improvements).
  • You are open to cooking very simple meals and snacks at home for at least 6-weeks.
This test might NOT be for you if:
We don’t recommend this test for strict vegans (your protein options may be very limited based on the results of your test and we may struggle to create a balanced meal plan).

Lab Draw Instructions and Logistics:
Lab Kit Arrival:
Your lab kit will arrive at your house within 7 business days of ordering your lab from the Root Functional Medicine Website. Your lab order requisition form is included with your kit.

Blood Draw
You will simply need to take the kit and your test requisition form with you to have your blood drawn, then your blood sample is put back in the kit, and the kit is shipped out overnight with an included FedEx prepaid shipping label. Some labs will ship the kit for you, and other times you will have to drop it off at a FedEx location yourself.

You can have your blood drawn at any medical blood draw site (phlebotomy lab or mobile phlebotomist) that is NOT contracted solely to Labcorp, Quest, etc. Usually, you can go wherever you normally have your blood drawn, but it is always a good idea to call the lab in advance and ask if they will take an “outside test kit”.

Other options:

ArcPoint Labs: https://www.arcpointlabs.com/locations-by-state/
Other info:
Specific instructions for the phlebotomist will be included with your MRT lab kit you receive in the mail. The blood draw is very straightforward and requires two to three standard vials to be filled.
MRT labs need to be drawn between noon and 5 p.m. (in time to ship out that night via FedEx) and you do NOT need to fast.
Standard blood draw rates will apply wherever you choose to get your blood drawn (this is usually between $25-35).
