Donna DiVito is a registered dietitian at the Children's Hospital of Philadelphia and a returning guest on Energy in Action. In this episode, host Marcy Young welcomes Donna back to answer one of the most common—and exhausting—questions facing people with mitochondrial disease: What’s actually worth the effort when it comes to food?
From grocery shopping and meal prep to what to eat when you have no energy at all, this episode is full of practical, mito-specific nutrition advice. Donna explains how to approach meal planning based on your personal budget, energy levels, and dietary needs, and she shares what to look for in protein bars, the truth about yogurt, and how to make the most of frozen foods. She offers smart swaps, time-saving tips, and thoughtful encouragement to help you feel your best without adding stress.
