MS Better Cell Membranes
A Comprehensive 3-Part Course + Omega Index Testing to Help You Understand Your Cell Membrane Health and Support Better Myelin Repair
Your Body Needs the Right Building Blocks to Make Myelin
If you have multiple sclerosis, you probably already know that damage to myelin can interfere with how efficiently signals travel through your nervous system.
But there is another question that gets far less attention:
What does your body need to actually rebuild myelin?
Myelin is made from specialized cell membranes.
And those membranes depend on specific fats and nutrients to function properly.
Omega-3 fatty acids. Omega-6 fatty acids. Phospholipids. Cholesterol. And other important components all contribute to the structure of your cell membranes.
If those building blocks are insufficient or out of balance, your body may have a more difficult environment for repair.
That is why Dr. Terry Wahls created MS Better Cell Membranes, a comprehensive 3-part course designed to help you understand your own cell membrane health and take practical steps to support it.
You may already be eating fish.
You may take an omega-3 supplement.
You may be trying to choose healthier fats.
But do you actually know what is in your cell membranes?
This program goes beyond general nutrition advice by combining education with Omega Index testing.
Your test gives you objective information about your fatty acid status so you can better understand what is happening in your own body.
Then Dr. Wahls will help you understand what those results mean and what you can do with that information.
Instead of asking:
"Am I getting enough omega-3?"
You'll have data to help you make more informed decisions.
It's simple, you sign up for the course, and we help get you set up with the Omega-3 Index Test.
What Patients Might Benefit from Omega-3 Index Testing?
Abnormal fatty acids status has been associated with many conditions, including but not limited to:
ADHD Alzheimer’s Disease Arthritis Autism Spectrum Disorders Cardiovascular Disease Certain Cancers Cognitive Development Dementia Depression Diabetes Learning Ability Oxidative Stress and Inflammation
**Mosaic Diagnostics does not offer testing in New York, New Jersey, or Rhode Island.**
This test measures the Omega-3 Index, the Trans Fat Index, the Omega-6/Omega-3 ratio, and the AA/EPA ratio. Many studies have shown that people with higher (vs. lower) omega-3 index levels are at a decreased risk for disease.

PART 1: Understand Your Health Timeline and Cell Membrane Health, Tuesday, September 22 at 6:30 pm CT
Before deciding what to change, you need to understand where you are today and the factors that may have brought you here.
In Part 1, Dr. Wahls will introduce the functional medicine principles she uses to think about health and disease
You'll learn how to:
You'll start connecting the dots between your history, your environment, your nutrition, and where you are today.
PART 2: Understand Your Omega Index Report, Tuesday, September 29 at 6:30 pm CT
Now we move from guessing to measuring.
Your Omega Index report provides a window into the fats present in your red blood cell membranes.
Dr. Wahls will walk you through the report so you can better understand what your numbers mean.
You'll learn about:
Most importantly, you'll learn what your next steps may look like if your results show that omega-3 levels are too low or omega-6 or trans-fat levels are too high.
You'll learn how to respond with food first.
Dr. Wahls will discuss food interventions for improving fatty acid intake as well as targeted supplementation considerations when additional omega-3 support may be appropriate.
The goal isn't simply to get a lab result.
It's to understand what the result means and know what to do next.
PART 3: Build a Better Diet for Healthier Cell Membranes, Tuesday, October 6 at 6:30 pm CT
Knowing your numbers is only useful if you can translate them into everyday life.
Part 3 is where we turn the science into practical action.
You'll explore:
Where these fats are found in the food supply
Foods that may contribute to low omega-3 levels in cell membranes
How to design a diet that supports improved omega-3 fatty acid levels
How to make realistic nutrition upgrades that work with your lifestyle and budget
And because changing your diet rarely happens in isolation, we'll also address one of the most important parts of making these changes sustainable:
Getting your family on board.
You'll learn strategies for talking about nutrition changes with your spouse and family and creating a healthier food environment together.
Because the best nutrition strategy isn't the one that looks perfect on paper.
It's the one you can actually sustain.
When you enroll in MS Better Cell Membranes, you'll receive:
Comprehensive 3-Part Training
Three in-depth educational sessions with Dr. Terry Wahls that take you from understanding the science to interpreting your results to implementing practical changes.
Omega Index Testing
Measure key fatty acids in your cell membranes so you can work from your own data rather than relying solely on assumptions.
Understanding Your Results
Learn how to read your Omega Index report and understand the different fatty acid measurements it contains.
Practical Food Strategies
Learn how to use food to improve the quality and balance of fats in your diet.
Supplement Education
Understand when targeted omega-3 supplementation may be considered when dietary intake alone isn't providing sufficient levels
Strategies for the Whole Family
Learn how to bring your spouse and family into the process so healthier eating becomes easier to maintain over the long term.
You don't have to understand every biochemical pathway to begin making better decisions.
You need to know:
Where am I now?
What do my results mean?
And what can I change?
MS Better Cell Membranes was created to help you answer those questions.
Measure your fatty acid status.
Understand your cell membrane health.
Learn how to improve the fats in your diet.
And create a more supportive nutritional environment for your body's repair processes.
