MRT Test before traveling abroad
Traveling internationally for extended periods can be thrilling, but it can test your immune system in different ways. In my experience working with clients through the years, I’ve seen that taking care of or neglecting your immune health before you go can make or break your experience. That’s why I created an inclusive MRT Test with a personalized protocol and a 40‑minute Zoom consultation with me—the perfect proactive solution before an extended trip.
Why consider an MRT Test before long‑term travel?
According to recent research, between 43% to 79% of people visiting developing countries experience some health issue during their travels, and some illnesses only surface after your
return (CDC-Post Travel Evaluation). Although health issues are less frequent in developed countries, problems still occur, especially for individuals who already have existing health issues at home. An MRT Test helps identify food and chemical sensitivities that can weaken your immune system before you even depart.
Instead of waiting to get sick abroad, I help discover your body’s inflammatory triggers and develop individualized support for your immune balance. That means fewer chances of digestive upset, fatigue, or immune flare-ups during your trip—allowing you to focus on the experience you planned and invested so much in.
What’s included in my MRT Test with Protocol + Zoom?
- Complete MRT (Mediator Release Test) to pinpoint food and chemical triggers unique to you.
- A fully personalized nutrition and lifestyle protocol—designed to proactively support your immune system.
- A 40‑minute Zoom session where I review your results, explain your sensitivities, and guide you in preparing your diet plans before you depart.
How does my MRT package complement traditional travel medicine?
Much like a full pre‑travel medical consultation checks your history, vaccines, medications, and physical fitness, the MRT Test focuses on the internal terrain of your immune system (NJ Primary Care). You get deeper insights into what might weaken you during high‑stress or unfamiliar conditions.
Traditional travel screenings assess risks like altitude, cardiac readiness, and communicable diseases. My test layers onto that by mitigating inflammation and sensitivity-related immune stress. Think of it as your immune system’s tailored travel checklist—personalized and strategic.
How do clients benefit before long‑term overseas trips?
- Reduced digestive issues while abroad—no unnecessary downtime or discomfort
- Stronger immune resilience to respond better to travel stress, jet lag, unfamiliar food, or new environments
- Better energy and mental clarity, letting you immerse yourself in your experiences
- Confidence in planning meals realistically, whether self-catering, dining out, or adjusting to local cuisine
Who should consider this before traveling?
If you’re planning to be overseas for 2 weeks or more, or if you have any history of food sensitivities, gut issues, immune imbalances, or generalized inflammation, the MRT Test is especially valuable. It’s also ideal if you’re doing adventurous travel—think high altitude, long hiking, unpredictable local foods, or extended routines that may expose you to new triggers.
Getting a medical baseline before travel is smart—that’s why doctors recommend health screenings and vaccines at least 4 to 6 weeks before your trip (Johns Hopkins Medicine). But to truly set yourself up for success, incorporating immune-focused testing like my MRT package gives you an extra layer of protection.
As a certified nutritionist, I put together the The MRT Test with Protocol and Zoom package for clients who don’t just want to survive—they want to thrive abroad. Book your test a few weeks before your departure, download your personalized protocol, and let’s connect live via Zoom to make sure you’re set to feel your best, from day one.
If you’d like to know more details about how the test works, turnaround time, or how to book, my staff would be glad to walk you through it!
