  1. On the MRT results report, a food with a volume change below 10% is classified as:

    Answer: Non-reactive

    A volume change below 10% indicates the white blood cells did not release significant mediators, classifying the food as non-reactive (green zone).

  2. Which blood component does the MRT primarily measure to determine food sensitivity?

    Answer: White blood cell volume changes

    MRT measures the change in volume of white blood cells (and platelets) after exposure to food antigens, reflecting mediator release regardless of immune pathway.

  3. A patient's MRT shows 22% volume change for wheat. This places wheat in which category?

    Answer: Moderately reactive (yellow)

    Volume changes of 10–24% are classified as moderately reactive (yellow zone) on the MRT scale.

  4. When building the initial LEAP ImmunoCalm diet, a CLT should primarily select foods from which MRT zone?

    Answer: Green (non-reactive) zone

    The initial ImmunoCalm diet is built exclusively from the patient's lowest-reacting (green zone) foods to minimize inflammation and symptom burden.

  5. Which threshold defines the cutoff for 'highly reactive' (red zone) foods on the MRT?

    Answer: Greater than 24% volume change

    Foods producing a white blood cell volume change greater than 24% are classified as highly reactive and placed in the red zone.

  6. The MRT panel typically tests approximately how many foods and food chemicals?

    Answer: 100–170 items

    The standard MRT panel tests approximately 130–170 foods and chemicals, depending on the panel version chosen.

  7. A LEAP therapist notices a patient's MRT report shows very few reactive foods (95% green). What is the most appropriate next step?

    Answer: Suspect the blood sample may have been compromised and consult the lab

    An unusually high percentage of non-reactive results can indicate sample degradation or processing error, warranting consultation with the testing laboratory.
