Author: Marian Mitchell, Integrative Nutrition Health Coach, Meal Plan Mentor October 17, 2025 Duration: 13:27
I've worked out with personal trainers off and on for 20 years. I've had to attempt to partner with them professionally for 13 years. It's a challenge to find one willing to partner with my diet plan and one who understands chronic illness and how to train someone dealing with one. In this episode I'm sharing with you how I guide my clients when they want to hire a personal trainer. Here's what I look for personally and professionally for myself and for my clients. I've found some amazing personal trainers, including recently. I'm excited to have a local referral. I've also worked out with some bad ones. I'm quite picky and you should be too.    Learn more about Marian: www.roadtolivingwhole.com  

Living with a chronic illness or autoimmune condition often means navigating a maze of conflicting advice and feeling isolated in the struggle to feel better. Therapeutic Food Solutions is a conversation about moving beyond that overwhelm, hosted by Marian Mitchell, an Integrative Nutrition Health Coach and Meal Plan Mentor. Drawing from nine years of specialized experience, Marian focuses on practical, sustainable food strategies rather than quick fixes or punishing restrictions. In this podcast, you’ll hear honest discussions about therapeutic diets-including Paleo and gluten-free approaches-not as ends in themselves, but as tools for managing disease and reclaiming energy. Each episode breaks down how to adapt nutritional science into realistic meal plans that fit into a complicated life, because improving your health shouldn’t feel like a full-time job. The aim is to translate the principles of integrative nutrition into actionable steps, offering a sense of partnership and clarity for anyone tired of feeling awful and ready for a grounded, compassionate path forward. Tune in for a resource that feels less like a lecture and more like a supportive guide, emphasizing food solutions that are both effective and genuinely livable for the long term.
