Brief summary

This project aims to determine the feasibility of delivering a comprehensive behavioral lifestyle intervention including dietary and exercise components via an evidence based, internet-delivered telehealth coaching platform. Further, investigators will gather preliminary data on the change in multiple sclerosis clinical outcomes and cardiometabolic risk factors after participation in the intervention. The outcomes will inform the design of a larger randomized controlled trial.
