Overcoming Multiple Sclerosis

Overcoming MS is a global charity that gives people hope and the tools to take back control of their MS through an evidence-based lifestyle Program.

Our vision
Our vision is a world in which living well with Multiple Sclerosis (MS) is possible for everyone. Our aims
We help people with MS to find hope, take control and self-manage their MS. Research has shown how lifestyle changes can help slow – and sometimes even stop – MS symptoms, as it modifies your risk factors. The specific outcome varies by person. We aim to inform, support, empower

and everyone affected by MS to lead a full and healthy life by making lifestyle changes and we collaborate to extend our impact. What we do
We are here for everyone with MS who wants to take control of their health and well-being. Although there is no cure for MS currently, we help people with MS to live well by making informed lifestyle choices. They have clear, practical actions to make by following the Overcoming MS Program. We understand that making and sticking to changes can be hard. So we are here to help you with our podcast, webinar series, digital content, and our global community of groups (Circles) providing ongoing support. We also campaign and fund open access to research into how lifestyle influences MS. About the Overcoming MS program
The Overcoming MS program focuses upon the everyday practical lifestyle changes that people with MS can make, in areas including diet, exercise, Vitamin D and stress management. It draws upon substantial scientific evidence of how holistic self-care, alongside medical therapies, benefits people's physical and mental health. Knowing people can change heir risk of deterioration through lifestyle choices gives hope to us all.
