Mediator Release Testing

Could food sensitivities be at the root of your symptoms?

Get Answers. Feel Better. Eat With Confidence Again.

If you’ve been dealing with bloating, fatigue, headaches, skin issues, or digestive discomfort and can’t pinpoint why, food sensitivities may be the missing piece. At Ascend Med Spa, we offer advanced food sensitivity testing in Boise to help uncover how your body responds to specific foods—so you can make informed choices that support better health, energy, and overall wellness.

​

What Is a Food Sensitivity Test?

A food sensitivity test helps identify foods that may be triggering inflammation or uncomfortable symptoms in your body. Unlike immediate food allergies, food sensitivities often cause delayed reactions, making them harder to identify without testing.

Our testing looks at how your immune system reacts to a wide range of common foods, helping determine possible food intolerances that may be affecting your daily life. This service is ideal for people who want answers beyond guesswork and elimination diets.

How MRT Works

  1. Blood collection — a routine blood draw is sent to the Oxford Labs.

  2. Lab analysis — the test measures mediator (inflammatory) release when blood cells are exposed to 170 different foods and food chemicals.

  3. Result interpretation — you'll meet with a Registered Dietitian to review results and receive your detailed report that ranks foods by reactivity.

  4. Personalized plan — you and your Dietitian will create an elimination and reintroduction plan. 

Food Sensitivity vs. Food Allergy: What’s the Difference?

Many people searching for checking for food allergies are actually experiencing food sensitivities or intolerances.

  • Food allergies typically cause immediate, severe reactions

  • Food sensitivities or intolerances often cause delayed symptoms such as:

    • Bloating or digestive discomfort

    • Brain fog or fatigue

    • Headaches or migraines

    • Skin flare-ups

    • Joint pain or inflammation

A food intolerance test helps identify patterns that traditional allergy testing may miss.

Who Can Benefit From Food Sensitivity Testing?

Food sensitivity testing may be helpful if you:

​

  • Feel “off” after eating but don’t know why

  • Experience recurring digestive issues

  • Struggle with unexplained fatigue or inflammation

  • Have skin concerns that don’t respond to treatments

  • Want a clearer understanding of how food impacts your body

​

If you’ve tried eliminating foods without success, professional testing can provide clarity.
