This is an introduction session to our new nutrition course, designed to welcome participants and provide an overview of what to expect over six weeks. The programme aims to support people with MS in building sustainable, enjoyable dietary habits that promote overall health, improve MS symptom management, and enhance quality of life.

Grounded in the latest evidence around nutrition and neurological health, the course focuses on nourishing the body to support energy, weight management, gut health, metabolic health, bone health, reproductive health, and long-term physical and mental wellbeing.

Through education, practical skills, and group support, participants are encouraged to make food choices that support their health both now and in the future.

Course aims

• Develop practical skills in meal planning and preparation to make healthy eating achievable
• Support participants to feel better day-to-day, particularly in relation to energy, weight management, gut health, and mood
• Encourage a positive, sustainable relationship with food
• Empower participants to make informed, health-supportive choices
