Our Proven 3-Sided Approach to Testing
Innovative Nutrition invests time in listening and considering genetic, environmental, and lifestyle contributions that influence your current state of health. More importantly, we help you envision what wellness looks like for you. The next step is to develop a personalized nutrition plan to optimize your health and provide the tools and assistance to set yourself up for continued success.
1. Functional Blood Chemistry Analysis
The functional approach to blood chemistry analysis is designed to gain a comprehensive picture of each individual’s state of health, reduce dysfunction, and improve quality of life
2. Interviews and Education for Environmental Factors
We invest time into listening so we may environmental and lifestyle contributions that influence your current state of health. More importantly, we help you envision what wellness looks like for you
3. Food Sensitivity Testing
Food Sensitivity Testing ensures that your personalized nutrition plan contains the right foods that your body needs and food sensitivities are fully addressed

Our 1-2-3 Approach To Nutritional Testing
1. Blood Panels
The functional approach to blood chemistry analysis is designed to gain a comprehensive picture of each individual’s state of health, reduce dysfunction, and improve quality of life.
Functional blood work analysis uses optimal lab ranges. Optimal lab ranges will be a narrower range in which the body functions most favorably. Traditional or “normal” reference ranges which are values in which 90-95% of the population falls within. Many of the people used to determine these so-called, “normal” values are in poor health. Therefore, values that fall within normal range may indicate the absence of disease but doesn’t necessarily correlate to good health. Optimal ranges may be more appropriate for those who are trying to proactively take control of their health and increase vitality.
Another important consideration is to look at lab values in correlation to each other. The interrelationship between biomarkers is far more valuable at assessing imbalances within a person’s physiology.
Normal doesn’t always mean optimal!
2. Interviews for Environmental & Lifestyle Factors
Testing for genetic factors and conducting blood panels tells only part of the story. It is important that we take the time to understand our client’s history, family history, environmental factors and other lifestyle factors that may be impacting our client’s nutritional health. Getting a full understanding of all the factors involved helps our nutritionists to educate our clients, work with them in a more practical way to adopt new healthy lifestyle strategies, and to develop a customized plan that WILL WORK! We believe that getting to know our clients and their unique circumstances is the key to connecting the scientific testing to the practical application of our customized nutrition plans.
3. Food Sensitivity Testing
Mediated Release Food Sensitivity Test- MRT is the foundation of fully addressing food sensitivities and achieving the maximum outcomes in the shortest amount of time. Testing 170 foods and food chemicals not only does MRT give insight into inflammation-provoking foods and food chemicals, but more importantly MRT identifies your patient’s BEST foods – the foods that form the basis of their LEAP Eating Plan.
Simply put, MRT gives you the information you can’t get any other way, and that information directly translates into targeted therapy that matters. MRT uses patented technology to measure food-induced inflammatory reactions. MRT is able to identify more relevant inflammatory reactions than any other test or method and quantifies the level of reactivity of each food or food chemical. which allows us to form the basis for the LEAP Eating Plan. MRT is the foundation of fully addressing food sensitivities and achieving the maximum outcomes in the shortest period of time.
