LEAP Food Sensitivity
LEAP Food Sensitivity Management uses Mediator Release Testing to identify inflammation-causing foods. This personalized protocol combines lab results with Certified LEAP Therapist guidance to create anti-inflammatory diets. Effective for irritable bowel syndrome, migraines, and autoimmune conditions, it addresses root causes rather than symptoms through structured elimination and reintroduction phases.

Five core skills help clients achieve lasting weight loss without surgery or medication, backed by peer-reviewed research on sustainable health behavior change.
