Certified LEAP Therapist Nutritionists and Dietitians in Dallas, TX
I have received extensive training in immunology, adverse food reactions, and practical application of dietary treatment for food-sensitive patients and am one of the most experienced Certified LEAP Therapists in the country.
Do you have a chronic health condition such as IBS, Migraines, Fibromyalgia, Rheumatoid Arthritis, eczema, or others? Since 80% of your immune system is in the gut, foods can act as "triggers" causing inflammation, pain, diarrhea and more. Your immune system is as unique as a fingerprint, so there is no one-size-fits all solution. What might give one person a migraine doesn't necessarily give someone else a migraine. I personalize my approach by combining nutrition, laboratory analysis and supplements (if needed). Most importantly I listen. You know your body better than anyone. Together we'll develop an approach that works for you.

I am also a certified LEAP therapist, and can help manage food sensitivities and related inflammatory or autoimmune conditions through the LEAP diet protocol.
Being vegetarian is awesome. It can help your kidneys too, especially if you have been diagnosed with CKD. Patients often struggle to find the right diet for kidneys or are trying to make sense of 'food lists' given to them by their physician, not realizing that a renal diet is much more than a list of do's and don'ts. Timely nutrition therapy can delay or completely avoid the need for dialysis. That's huge! This is the opportunity window that many patients miss, ending up on dialysis, which in many cases, is life-long.

Certified LEAP Therapist Nutritionists and Dietitians
What is a Certified LEAP Therapist?
A Certified LEAP Therapist (CLT) is a dietitian who has received specialized training in food sensitivity and chronic condition management. They complete the LEAP (Lifestyle Eating and Performance) program, which focuses on identifying and managing food sensitivities to alleviate chronic conditions. CLTs are trained to use the Mediator Release Test (MRT), a blood test that measures inflammatory responses to various foods. This allows them to create individualized dietary plans tailored to each client's specific sensitivities and chronic health issues. By identifying and eliminating trigger foods, CLTs help clients reduce inflammation and manage chronic condition symptoms more effectively.
Who should work with a Certified LEAP Therapist?
Certified LEAP Therapists (CLTs) primarily work with clients who have chronic conditions or food sensitivities that may benefit from dietary modifications. These conditions include irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), Crohn’s disease, ulcerative colitis, fibromyalgia, rheumatoid arthritis, and polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS). Many clients turn to CLTs when other interventions have failed or when they desire additional strategies to improve their symptoms beyond medication and conventional treatments. By tailoring diets to individual needs, CLTs help clients manage their conditions more effectively and enhance their overall quality of life.
What happens in a LEAP Therapy session?
The overall goal of LEAP Therapy is to help clients identify foods that may be triggering their symptoms and guide them through an elimination diet followed by a reintroduction phase. LEAP Therapy typically begins with the administration of a Mediator Release Test (MRT), which categorizes food sensitivities from "green" (non-reactive) to "red" (highly reactive). Based on these results, dietitians work with clients to create a diet plan that eliminates highly reactive foods while still promoting overall health and balance. Additionally, LEAP dietitians often advise clients on other lifestyle modification strategies, such as incorporating more anti-inflammatory foods (such as fruits, vegetables, and certain spices) into their diet.
What is the LEAP elimination diet?
The LEAP elimination diet is designed to help individuals identify specific foods that may be causing intolerance symptoms or contributing to chronic disease symptoms. When it is unclear which foods are triggering these issues, the LEAP elimination diet systematically removes and then reintroduces foods to identify specific triggering foods. This process often follows the completion of the Mediator Release Test (MRT), which offers insight into which foods might be problematic. By eliminating and reintroducing foods based on MRT results, clients can better understand their triggers and manage their symptoms more effectively.
