Summary: This study will assess the impact of a MIND (Mediterranean-DASH Intervention for Neurodegenerative Delay) diet on brain health and MS symptoms. Participants will be randomly assigned to one of two arms: the diet intervention arm or the "continue current diet"/control arm. Participants randomized to the dietary intervention arm will change their diet to follow a MIND dietary pattern for one year; diet-related education and programming is provided to support this change. Participants randomized to the continue/control arm will be asked to continue their current dietary habits, without major change for one year; multiple sclerosis (MS) MS-related related education and programming (unrelated to diet) is provided. All participants will be asked to provide blood & stool samples and to complete online questionnaires & three in-person assessments.
