Welcome to Dishing Up Nutrition, and we are brought to you by nutritional weight and

wellness, where we break down nutrition science in ways that actually makes sense for your

everyday life. Today's episode is about what to eat for multiple

sclerosis. And if you're living with multiple sclerosis or someone you know who has multiple

sclerosis, you might want to share this podcast, send it to them, tell them you're thinking

about them. Because our goal today is to make things very

practical and hopeful and focus on what you can do so you feel a little more empowered what to eat

and maybe some key supplements to support your body if you have that diagnosis. My name is Melanie and

I'm a registered and licensed dietitian, and I'm here with

Brandy today. Hey, Mel. Good to be here. Good to see you. I think this is such an important

conversation. MS. impacts a lot of people in the United States. Nearly one million people

have that diagnosis. And thankfully, there are medications, you know, as treatment

options now. But like you mentioned, today, what we'd like to do is empower our listeners to

think about how their food choices, their lifestyle habits, different supplements can actually

help support the progression, you know, reduce the progression

and maybe even help you put that MS into remission.

And you might have been told, if you have been diagnosed with MS, that there's nothing

you can do.

Mm-hmm.

But we've seen it in clinic, be arrested where nothing progresses for years.

We do believe that nutrition has a big impact.

100%.
