Meet Desiree

I partner with women diagnosed with autoimmune conditions to become champions for their lives AND powerful advocates for healthcare change.

I also help organizations create healthier, more productive workplaces

through autoimmune awareness, health literacy, and strategic wellness programs that reduce costs while empowering employees.

Why do I care? Five autoimmune diseases forced me to become my own health detective and workplace advocate. Through trial, error, and relentless self-advocacy, I transformed from feeling powerless to thriving despite chronic illness. This journey revealed how broken our healthcare system is – and how unprepared most workplaces are to support employees with chronic conditions. Now I help individuals reclaim their health AND help organizations create the supportive environments I wish I'd had.

Stronger Than Autoimmune Stories

  • On Blood Sugar Regulation: “I took Dez’s whole foods nutrition course and learned which foods truly fuel me. I follow it most of the time and feel more balanced and in control of my blood sugar.”

    - Sherry

  • They've improved my motivation by "forcing" me to set goals, and then working to create smaller steps to move towards the goal, rather than just defining the starting point and the endpoint. This makes things much more realistic. Confidence-wise, it's much easier to achieve realistic, smaller goals, and that's helpful.
