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.
