The goal of this clinical trial is to learn whether a 16-week Mediterranean-style dietary counseling program, called the Med-South Lifestyle Program (MSLP), is practical and acceptable for adults with hidradenitis suppurativa (HS). The study will also look at whether participants\' Mediterranean diet adherence changes during the program. The main questions it aims to answer are: * Do participants find the program feasible and practical to follow? * Does adherence to a Mediterranean-style diet change from the beginning to the end of the 16-week program? * Do participants find the program acceptable? All participants will receive the same program; there is no comparison group. Participants will: * Take part in individual nutrition counseling and shorter support calls, mostly by video or telephone * Complete a cooking education session and receive written nutrition materials * Receive Mediterranean-style food support, including pantry staples and prepared meals * Attend two in-person study visits, at the beginning and end of the 16-week program * Complete questionnaires and study assessments and provide biological samples Because this is a pilot study, the information collected will primarily be used to improve the program and help plan a larger future clinical trial.
