LEAP Diet Phase 1 Recipes: Simple Meals for the Elimination Phase

Kerry Watson, NTP, RWPKerry Watson, NTP, RWP
Nutritional Therapy Practitioner & Registered Wellness Professional • Evidence-based food sensitivity guidance

Phase 1 of the LEAP protocol is the hardest stretch — not because the food is complicated, but because it feels like you have nothing to eat. With only 20-25 approved foods and zero condiments, most clients default to plain grilled chicken and steamed rice for every meal.

That’s how people burn out by Day 3.

These recipes are designed specifically for the LEAP elimination phase: every ingredient is a single whole food, seasoned with nothing beyond salt and approved herbs. They’re simple by necessity — but they don’t have to be boring.

Important

Your Phase 1 food list is unique to you. These recipes use commonly approved Phase 1 foods, but you must substitute based on your personal MRT results. Only use ingredients that appear on your Green list as directed by your Certified LEAP Therapist. No exceptions during Phase 1.

Phase 1 Cooking Principles

Before you start cooking, internalize these rules. They apply to every recipe below:

Do

  • Use only foods from your personal Green list
  • Season with sea salt + approved herbs only
  • Cook with approved oils (olive, avocado, coconut)
  • Buy single-ingredient foods — nothing with a label
  • Batch cook on Day 1 for the whole week

Don’t

  • Use any condiments (ketchup, soy sauce, hot sauce)
  • Add butter unless cow’s milk is on your Green list
  • Use non-stick cooking sprays (contain soy lecithin)
  • Use pre-made seasoning blends
  • Assume any recipe ingredient is safe — verify every item

Breakfast Recipes

Sweet Potato Breakfast Bowl

Prep: 5 min | Cook: 0 min (uses pre-baked) | Serves: 1

This works because you batch-baked sweet potatoes on Day 1 (see our Phase 1 Grocery Guide). Morning prep takes under 5 minutes.

Ingredients

  • 1 medium baked sweet potato
  • 1/2 cup blueberries (if Green)
  • 1 tbsp olive oil or coconut oil
  • Pinch of sea salt
  • Pinch of cinnamon (if Green)

Instructions

  1. Split the pre-baked sweet potato and scoop into a bowl.
  2. Mash lightly with a fork.
  3. Top with blueberries and drizzle with oil.
  4. Sprinkle with sea salt and cinnamon.

Swap options: Replace blueberries with sliced banana or mango. Replace sweet potato with white rice for a rice porridge variation.

Salmon & Rice Breakfast Bowl

Prep: 5 min | Cook: 0 min (uses batch-cooked) | Serves: 1

Breakfast doesn’t have to look like “breakfast.” In many cultures, rice and fish is the standard morning meal. During Phase 1, it’s one of the most satisfying options.

Ingredients

  • 1 cup cooked white rice
  • 3-4 oz cooked salmon (flaked)
  • 1/2 avocado, sliced (if Green)
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • Sea salt

Instructions

  1. Warm rice in a bowl (microwave or stovetop).
  2. Top with flaked salmon and avocado slices.
  3. Drizzle with olive oil and season with sea salt.

Swap options: Replace salmon with chicken. Add steamed spinach or kale if they’re on your Green list.

Lunch Recipes

Herb-Roasted Chicken & Vegetables

Prep: 10 min | Cook: 25 min | Serves: 4 (batch cook)

This is the Phase 1 workhorse meal. Make a full sheet pan on Day 1, portion into containers, and you have lunch for 4 days.

Ingredients

  • 2 lbs chicken breast, cubed
  • 2 cups broccoli florets
  • 2 cups zucchini, diced
  • 1 cup carrots, sliced
  • 3 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tsp dried rosemary (if Green)
  • 1 tsp dried thyme (if Green)
  • Sea salt

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 425°F.
  2. Toss chicken and vegetables with olive oil, herbs, and salt on a sheet pan.
  3. Spread in a single layer — don’t crowd.
  4. Roast 25 minutes, flipping halfway.
  5. Divide into 4 containers immediately.

Batch tip: Serve over rice for a complete meal. Each container = protein + vegetable + starch. Reheats in 2 minutes.

Turkey & Sweet Potato Skillet

Prep: 5 min | Cook: 15 min | Serves: 3

Ingredients

  • 1 lb ground turkey
  • 2 cups sweet potato, diced small (1/2 inch)
  • 2 cups spinach
  • 2 tbsp avocado oil
  • Sea salt
  • 1/2 tsp turmeric (if Green)

Instructions

  1. Heat avocado oil in a large skillet over medium-high.
  2. Add diced sweet potato. Cook 8-10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until fork-tender.
  3. Add ground turkey. Break apart and cook 5 minutes until browned.
  4. Add spinach and turmeric. Stir until spinach wilts (1 minute).
  5. Season with sea salt. Divide into 3 containers.

Swap options: Replace turkey with ground beef or chicken. Replace sweet potato with white potato or butternut squash.

Dinner Recipes

Pan-Seared Salmon with Roasted Broccoli

Prep: 5 min | Cook: 15 min | Serves: 2

Ingredients

  • 2 salmon fillets (6 oz each)
  • 3 cups broccoli florets
  • 2 tbsp olive oil (divided)
  • Sea salt
  • Fresh lemon juice (if lemon is Green)
  • Fresh dill (if Green)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 425°F. Toss broccoli with 1 tbsp olive oil and salt. Roast 15 minutes.
  2. While broccoli roasts, heat 1 tbsp oil in a skillet over medium-high.
  3. Pat salmon dry, season with salt. Place skin-side up in the skillet.
  4. Sear 4 minutes. Flip, cook 3-4 more minutes until cooked through.
  5. Plate salmon over broccoli. Squeeze lemon and scatter dill if approved.

Lamb & Root Vegetable Sheet Pan

Prep: 10 min | Cook: 30 min | Serves: 3

Lamb is one of the least commonly reactive proteins on the MRT panel. If it’s on your Green list, it adds welcome variety to the rotation.

Ingredients

  • 1.5 lbs lamb chops or leg, cubed
  • 2 cups carrots, cut into chunks
  • 2 cups beets, peeled and cubed
  • 1 cup white potato, cubed
  • 3 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tsp dried rosemary (if Green)
  • Sea salt

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F.
  2. Toss root vegetables with 2 tbsp oil, rosemary, and salt on a sheet pan. Roast 15 minutes.
  3. Toss lamb cubes with 1 tbsp oil and salt.
  4. Add lamb to the sheet pan. Roast 15 more minutes until lamb reaches desired doneness.
  5. Rest 5 minutes before serving.

Chicken & Squash Rice Bowl

Prep: 5 min | Cook: 20 min | Serves: 2

Ingredients

  • 2 chicken breasts
  • 2 cups butternut squash, cubed
  • 2 cups cooked white rice
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1/2 tsp dried thyme (if Green)
  • Sea salt

Instructions

  1. Cut chicken into 1-inch pieces.
  2. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high.
  3. Add squash cubes. Cook 10 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  4. Add chicken pieces and thyme. Cook 8-10 minutes until chicken is cooked through.
  5. Season with salt. Serve over rice.

Make it different: This recipe works with any protein-vegetable-starch combination on your Green list. Think of it as a template: sear protein, cook vegetable, serve over grain.

Simple Sides & Snacks

These aren’t full recipes — they’re building blocks. Mix and match with your meals to prevent monotony:

Roasted Vegetables

Cut any approved vegetable into even pieces. Toss with olive oil and salt. Roast at 425°F for 15-20 minutes. Works with: broccoli, cauliflower, zucchini, carrots, beets, asparagus, Brussels sprouts, sweet potato.

Sauteed Greens

Heat olive oil in a pan. Add spinach, kale, or Swiss chard (if Green). Sauté 2-3 minutes until wilted. Season with sea salt. Add fresh garlic in the last 30 seconds if garlic is Green.

Baked Potato

Poke holes in a white or sweet potato. Bake at 400°F for 45-60 minutes. Top with olive oil and salt. This is a meal in itself when you need something fast.

Fresh Fruit

Your best snack during Phase 1. Keep washed berries, sliced apples, or peeled oranges in the fridge at all times. Pair with a small portion of approved protein for sustained energy.

Rice Cakes + Avocado

Plain rice cakes (check the label — must be single ingredient) topped with smashed avocado and sea salt. One of the few Phase 1 “snack foods” that feels normal.

Hard-Boiled Eggs

If eggs are on your Green list, boil a dozen on Day 1. They last 7 days in the fridge and are the perfect grab-and-go protein. Season with salt only.

Sample 5-Day Phase 1 Meal Plan

This assumes chicken, salmon, turkey, rice, sweet potato, broccoli, spinach, zucchini, carrots, blueberries, avocado, and olive oil are on your Green list. Substitute based on your personal MRT results.

Day Breakfast Lunch Dinner Snack
1 Sweet Potato Bowl + blueberries Herb Chicken & Veg (batch cook) Pan-Seared Salmon + broccoli Apple slices
2 Salmon & Rice Bowl Herb Chicken & Veg (reheated) Turkey & Sweet Potato Skillet Rice cake + avocado
3 Sweet Potato Bowl + banana Turkey Skillet (reheated) + rice Chicken & Squash Rice Bowl Blueberries
4 Salmon & Rice Bowl Herb Chicken & Veg (reheated) Lamb & Root Vegetables Hard-boiled egg
5 Sweet Potato Bowl + berries Lamb leftovers + rice Pan-Seared Salmon + sauteed spinach Rice cake + avocado

The Pattern

Every meal follows the same formula: Protein + Vegetable + Starch + Fat + Salt. Once you internalize this, you don’t need recipes — you just assemble combinations from your Green list. The recipes above are starting points, not rigid plans.

Check Any Ingredient Before You Cook

Your Phase 1 LEAP Shopping List: A Complete Grocery Guide for the Elimination Diet

Kerry Watson, NTP, RWPKerry Watson, NTP, RWP
Nutritional Therapy Practitioner & Registered Wellness Professional • Evidence-based food sensitivity guidance

Phase 1 of the LEAP ImmunoCalm protocol is the most restrictive — and the most important. Your Certified LEAP Therapist (CLT) will select 20-25 foods from your Green (lowest-reactive) MRT results. For the first 5-10 days, these foods are your entire diet.

This guide covers how to build a practical, sustainable grocery list from your Phase 1 foods — organized by category, with shopping strategies that make the elimination phase manageable instead of miserable.

Before You Begin

This guide provides general categories and strategies. Your actual Phase 1 food list is determined by your individual MRT results and your CLT. Do not add any food to your diet that is not on your approved Phase 1 list, even if it appears in this guide. Every person’s Green list is different.

Before You Shop: Phase 1 Fundamentals

Phase 1 of the LEAP diet uses only your Green (lowest-reactive) MRT results. Here’s what that means for grocery shopping:

  • Single-ingredient foods only. During Phase 1, every item you buy should have exactly one ingredient — the food itself. Plain chicken, fresh broccoli, white rice. Not “seasoned chicken” or “rice pilaf mix.”
  • No packaged foods with ingredient lists. If a product has more than one ingredient, skip it during Phase 1. The exception: your CLT may approve specific packaged items after verifying every ingredient.
  • Your list is personalized. Chicken might be Green for you and Red for someone else. That’s why generic “elimination diet shopping lists” don’t work — they’re not based on your blood test.
  • Stock up for the full 5-10 days. Running out of approved food is the #1 reason clients cheat during Phase 1. Buy enough to cover every meal.

Proteins

The MRT 176 panel tests the following protein sources. If any of these are on your Green list, buy them in their plainest form:

Animal Proteins

  • Chicken breast (plain, no marinade)
  • Turkey breast (fresh, unseasoned)
  • Beef (ground or steaks, no seasoning)
  • Pork loin or tenderloin (plain)
  • Lamb chops or ground lamb
  • Salmon fillets (wild-caught preferred)
  • Cod or sole fillets
  • Shrimp (plain, shell-on or peeled)
  • Eggs (if on your Green list)

Plant Proteins

  • Dried lentils (not canned — cans may have additives)
  • Dried chickpeas / garbanzo beans
  • Dried black beans
  • Dried kidney beans
  • Green peas (frozen, single ingredient)
  • Tofu (if soy is Green — check for calcium sulfate only)

Buy dried beans over canned. Canned beans often contain calcium chloride, citric acid, or “natural flavors” — all MRT-tested substances.

What to avoid: Pre-marinated meats, deli meats (contain nitrates, MSG, and “natural flavors”), breaded or seasoned fish, protein powders, and any meat injected with “broth” or “solution.”

Vegetables

Vegetables are the foundation of Phase 1 meals. The MRT panel tests many common vegetables. Buy fresh or plain frozen (no sauce, no seasoning):

Leafy Greens

  • Spinach
  • Kale
  • Romaine lettuce
  • Cabbage
  • Swiss chard

Cruciferous

  • Broccoli
  • Cauliflower
  • Brussels sprouts
  • Asparagus
  • Green beans

Starchy & Root

  • Sweet potato
  • White potato
  • Carrots
  • Beets
  • Squash (zucchini, butternut)

Fresh vs. Frozen: Both are fine for Phase 1 as long as the frozen version has a single ingredient. Avoid frozen vegetables with butter sauce, cheese sauce, or “seasoning blend.” Read the back of the bag — if it lists anything besides the vegetable, put it back.

Fruits

Fruits add natural sweetness and variety to Phase 1. The MRT panel tests many common fruits. Buy fresh or plain frozen:

  • Berries: Blueberries, strawberries, raspberries, blackberries (fresh or frozen, single ingredient)
  • Citrus: Oranges, grapefruit, lemons, limes
  • Tree fruits: Apples, pears, peaches, plums
  • Tropical: Bananas, mango, pineapple
  • Melon: Watermelon, cantaloupe, honeydew
  • Grapes: Red or green

What to avoid: Dried fruits (often contain sulfites, a tested MRT chemical), fruit cups in syrup (citric acid, ascorbic acid), fruit juices with “natural flavors,” and pre-cut fruit platters (may have preservative sprays).

Grains & Starches

Grains provide the caloric foundation of Phase 1. Without adequate starch, clients under-eat and feel fatigued. If any of these are on your Green list, stock up:

  • White rice — The safest grain for most LEAP clients. Buy plain long-grain or jasmine. Avoid “enriched” rice with added vitamins (may contain soy-based coatings).
  • Oats (if Green) — Buy plain rolled oats or steel-cut oats. Avoid instant oatmeal packets (contain “natural flavors,” maltodextrin, and other additives).
  • Quinoa (if Green) — Rinse thoroughly before cooking. Buy plain, not flavored.
  • Sweet potatoes & white potatoes — Double as starch and vegetable. Versatile for every meal.
  • Rice cakes — Plain, unflavored. Check the label — some brands add “natural flavors” or caramel color even to “plain” rice cakes.

Bread During Phase 1?

Almost never. Commercial bread contains wheat (tested), yeast (tested), soy lecithin (tested), and often “dough conditioners” that include multiple MRT chemicals. If your CLT wants you to have bread, they will specify an exact brand and product after verifying every ingredient. Do not buy bread on your own during Phase 1.

Fats & Oils

You need cooking fats. Phase 1 requires adequate calories, and fat makes food taste good — which matters when your options are limited:

  • Olive oil — Extra virgin, single ingredient. Check the label. Some brands add canola or soy oil.
  • Avocado oil — Good for high-heat cooking. Must be 100% avocado oil (adulteration is common).
  • Coconut oil (if Green) — Unrefined, single ingredient.
  • Butter (if cow’s milk is Green) — Unsalted, plain. No “butter blends” or “spreadable butter” (those contain canola oil).
  • Avocados — Whole avocados are a whole food fat source. Pre-made guacamole is not Phase 1 safe (contains citric acid, garlic, onion, etc.).

Seasonings & Herbs

Flavor is critical for Phase 1 compliance. Bland food leads to cheating. The MRT panel tests several common seasonings:

  • Sea salt — Always safe. Buy plain sea salt, not “seasoned salt” or “garlic salt.”
  • Black pepper (if Green) — Buy whole peppercorns or plain ground pepper. Avoid pepper blends.
  • Individual dried herbs (if Green) — Basil, oregano, thyme, rosemary, parsley, dill. Buy single-herb containers, not “Italian seasoning” blends (which may contain unlisted fillers).
  • Garlic (if Green) — Fresh cloves only. Garlic powder may contain anti-caking agents.
  • Turmeric (if Green) — Fresh root or plain ground turmeric.
  • Ginger (if Green) — Fresh root. Avoid powdered ginger that lists “silicon dioxide” (anti-caking agent).

What to avoid: All seasoning blends (“taco seasoning,” “lemon pepper,” “steak rub”), soy sauce, Worcestershire sauce, hot sauce, ketchup, mustard, and any condiment with an ingredient list longer than one item.

Beverages

Hydration is essential during Phase 1. Your body is processing inflammatory changes, and adequate water supports the detox process:

  • Water — Always safe. Aim for half your body weight in ounces daily. Filtered or spring water is fine.
  • Herbal tea — Only if the specific herb is on your Green list. Buy single-ingredient teas (pure chamomile, pure peppermint). Avoid tea blends and anything listing “natural flavors.”
  • Coffee — Only if coffee is on your Green list. Black only — no creamer, no sugar, no flavored coffee beans.

What to avoid during Phase 1: All alcohol, soda, sports drinks, electrolyte packets (contain citric acid, “natural flavors,” sucralose), flavored water, juice, smoothie mixes, and protein shakes.

Phase 1 Shopping Strategy

Follow this approach to make your Phase 1 grocery runs efficient and complete:

The Phase 1 Shopping Checklist

  1. Print your CLT’s approved food list — Bring it to the store. Do not shop from memory.
  2. Shop the perimeter first — Produce, meat counter, seafood counter. 90% of your Phase 1 food comes from the store’s edges.
  3. Buy 5-7 days of protein — At least 2 different approved protein sources. Freeze what you won’t use in 3 days.
  4. Buy 5+ vegetables — Variety prevents burnout. Mix raw (salads), steamed, roasted, and sauteed preparations.
  5. Buy 3-4 fruits — For snacking, natural sweetness, and recipe variety.
  6. Buy your starch base — Rice, potatoes, or whatever grains are on your list. Buy enough for every meal.
  7. Buy cooking oil — You need fat to cook. At least one approved oil.
  8. Buy salt and approved herbs — These make or break Phase 1 compliance.
  9. Use Wellbloom’s Food Checker — Before buying any packaged product, search it to see its MRT trigger count.

Navigating Packaged Foods During Phase 1

The general rule is simple: avoid packaged foods during Phase 1. But when you must buy something with a label, here’s how to evaluate it:

  1. Count the ingredients. If there’s more than one, proceed with caution.
  2. Check every ingredient against your Green list. If any ingredient is not on your approved list, put it back.
  3. Watch for hidden MRT chemicals: “natural flavors,” “spices,” “citric acid,” “soy lecithin,” “caramel color,” “modified food starch.” These are all tested on the MRT 176 panel.
  4. Search the product on Wellbloom’s Food Checker to see exactly how many MRT triggers it contains.
  5. When in doubt, skip it. You can always add it later in Phase 2 after confirming with your CLT.

Batch Cooking: Your Phase 1 Survival Tool

The single best thing you can do on Day 1 is batch cook. Spend 2-3 hours preparing food for the entire week. Here’s a template:

Prep Item Quantity Storage Use For
Grilled chicken breast 3-4 lbs Fridge 4 days / Freeze rest Lunch, dinner, salad topping
Cooked rice 6-8 cups Fridge 5 days Side dish, base for bowls
Roasted vegetables 2 sheet pans Fridge 4 days Sides, lunch containers
Baked sweet potatoes 4-6 whole Fridge 5 days Breakfast, snacks, sides
Hard-boiled eggs (if Green) 12 eggs Fridge 7 days Snacks, breakfast, salads
Washed & cut fruit 3-4 containers Fridge 3-4 days Snacks, dessert

With batch cooking done on Day 1, weekday meals take 5 minutes: reheat protein + starch + vegetable, add salt and approved seasoning, eat. No decisions, no label reading, no temptation.

Common Phase 1 Shopping Mistakes

These are the errors that derail Phase 1 most often:

Not buying enough food

Under-buying leads to under-eating, which leads to cravings, which leads to cheating. Buy more than you think you need. Leftover approved food is never a waste during Phase 1.

Trusting “simple” labels

Even “plain” products can contain hidden ingredients. Plain rice cakes may have “natural flavors.” Plain chicken broth contains yeast extract and “spices.” Always read the back of the package, not the front.

Buying condiments

Ketchup, mustard, soy sauce, hot sauce, salad dressing — all off-limits during Phase 1. Every condiment contains multiple MRT-tested substances. Season with salt, approved herbs, and approved oil instead.

Shopping while hungry

Eat an approved meal before you go to the store. Hunger makes non-approved foods look irresistible, and willpower is a limited resource during Phase 1.

The LEAP ImmunoCalm Diet: A Phase-by-Phase Guide to the Elimination Protocol

The LEAP ImmunoCalm® Dietary Protocol is a structured elimination and reintroduction diet designed to reduce chronic inflammation caused by food and chemical sensitivities. Unlike generic elimination diets that remove broad food groups, LEAP is personalized — built entirely from your individual MRT (Mediator Release Test) results.

This guide walks you through each phase of the protocol, what to expect, and practical tips for success.

How LEAP Works: The Core Principle

The LEAP protocol operates on a simple but powerful premise: if you stop eating the foods that trigger your immune system’s inflammatory response, your symptoms will improve.

Your MRT results identify exactly which foods and chemicals cause mediator release in your white blood cells. The LEAP diet then uses this data to:

  1. Build an initial diet from your least reactive foods (your safest options)
  2. Gradually reintroduce moderately reactive foods one at a time
  3. Establish a long-term, sustainable eating pattern that minimizes inflammation

This process is guided by a Certified LEAP Therapist (CLT) — a dietitian or nutritionist with specialized training in food sensitivity management.

Phase 1: Elimination (Days 1–14)

What Happens

Your CLT selects approximately 20–25 of your lowest-reactive foods from your MRT results. For two weeks, you eat only these foods — nothing else. No seasonings, sauces, or condiments unless they’re on your approved list.

Why It’s Strict

The goal is to give your immune system a complete rest. By eating only foods that produce virtually zero mediator release, you create a clean inflammatory baseline. Most patients begin noticing symptom improvement within 5–10 days.

What to Expect

  • Days 1–3: Possible withdrawal symptoms (headaches, fatigue, irritability) as your body adjusts
  • Days 4–7: Symptoms begin to stabilize; many patients report the first noticeable improvement
  • Days 8–14: Continued improvement; you establish your “baseline” symptom level

Practical Tips

  • Meal prep on Sunday for the week — limited ingredients means simpler cooking
  • Keep a symptom journal (rate symptoms 1–10 daily)
  • Drink plenty of water; some people use water as their only beverage in Phase 1
  • Use the Wellbloom directory to find pre-made products that are safe for your Phase 1 list

Phase 2: Reintroduction (Weeks 3–8+)

What Happens

Once you’ve established your baseline, your CLT begins adding back foods one at a time — typically starting with your yellow (moderately reactive) MRT foods. Each new food is introduced in isolation and monitored for 48–72 hours before adding the next one.

The Challenge Protocol

  1. Eat the challenge food 2–3 times on Day 1 in reasonable portions
  2. Return to your baseline diet for Days 2 and 3
  3. Monitor for any symptom flare-ups during the 72-hour window
  4. If no reaction: the food is added to your safe list
  5. If reaction occurs: remove the food and wait until symptoms clear before testing the next one

What to Expect

  • Most yellow foods will pass the challenge — your diet expands significantly
  • Some surprises: a food you thought was safe may trigger a reaction, and vice versa
  • This phase requires patience — rushing the process can muddy your results
  • Your CLT will adjust the order of reintroduction based on your symptom patterns

Phase 3: Maintenance (Ongoing)

What Happens

By Phase 3, you have a clear picture of your safe foods, your conditional foods (tolerated in moderation), and your trigger foods (to be avoided long-term). Your CLT helps you build a sustainable, nutritionally complete meal plan.

Key Principles

  • Rotation: Even safe foods should be rotated every 3–4 days to prevent developing new sensitivities
  • Variety: Eat as wide a variety of safe foods as possible for nutritional completeness
  • Retesting: Some practitioners recommend retesting MRT after 6–12 months, as sensitivities can shift over time
  • Label vigilance: Always check ingredient labels — manufacturers change formulations frequently

How Wellbloom Supports Each Phase

Phase How Wellbloom Helps
Phase 1 (Elimination) Search for products classified as Low Risk with zero MRT triggers — these are your safest packaged food options
Phase 2 (Reintroduction) Before challenging a new food, search for products containing it to plan meals. Check which products have 1–2 triggers for controlled testing
Phase 3 (Maintenance) Use the directory as an ongoing reference when grocery shopping. Filter by brand, category, or risk level to find safe options quickly

Finding a Certified LEAP Therapist

The LEAP protocol is designed to be administered by a Certified LEAP Therapist (CLT). These are licensed healthcare professionals (typically registered dietitians) who have completed advanced training in food sensitivity management through Oxford Biomedical Technologies.
