I’m Coach Des, and I know what it feels like to be exhausted from constantly starting over.

I spent years feeling broken, living with lupus, managing PCOS and Endometriosis, and carrying complex trauma. Doctors told me to lower my expectations. Diet culture told me I just needed more willpower.

They were both wrong.

I didn’t lose 100 pounds by being perfect. I did it by breaking the shame cycle and building systems that fit MY REAL LIFE.

What “worked for me” is just a story. What works for human physiology is science. At Shed & Shine, I combine evidence-based nutrition with proven behavioral psychology so you can stop guessing and start building something that actually sticks.

I’ve lived it. I’ve studied it. And I’m here to help you do it too.
