WELCOME TO REFINED

Most people aren’t lacking effort. They’re lacking clarity.
Refined was built to simplify what actually works.

This is not about quick fixes or short-term results.

It is about building a strong, sustainable foundation through nutrition, training, and real-life structure.

The goal is not perfection.

It is clarity, consistency, and long-term progress.

This program focuses on:

The Refined Approach:

NUTRITION

Nutrition is the foundation.

The focus is not on restriction or short-term results, but on building sustainable habits that support long-term health, performance, and body composition.

This approach is designed to fit real life while creating structure, consistency, and clarity around what actually works.

What this includes
  • Personalized nutrition targets
  • Sustainable nutrition habits
  • Portion awareness and balanced meal structure
  • Whole-food approach
  • Real-life structure that fits your lifestyle
  • Ongoing adjustments as your body and goals evolve
  • Education around food choices, dining out, and consistency
  • Accountability and consistent support
  • Optional collaboration with clinical providers when appropriate

Weight Training

Strength training builds the structure that supports nutrition, performance, and long-term body composition. The focus is not just on workouts, but on developing strength, confidence, and consistency over time. Training is designed to meet you where you are, with clear progression and structure that evolves as you do.

What’s Included (Training)

All-Access Strength Training Includes:

  • Personalized training plans based on your experience level
  • Clear structure for training days, rest, and progression
  • Modifications for both home and gym environments
  • Optional one-to-one training sessions available

Running & Endurance

Structured running support is available for those starting from the beginning and for runners working toward longer distances, including 5K, half marathon, and full marathon. This portion is led by Marathon Trainer Ron. Training is supported by nutrition guidance from Deserie to ensure you are properly fueled.
What this includes
  • From “couch to running” through marathon distances, with progression at every stage
  • Injury-aware progression and realistic pacing
  • One-to-one run training sessions with Ron

Integrated Wellness & Clinical Support

Refined Health & Wellness maintains a collaborative relationship with Revive Aesthetics & Wellness, led by Nurse Practitioner Ashley. Clients have the option to explore clinical insight alongside nutrition, training, and lifestyle support.

Why this matters:
  • Some clients benefit from medical insight alongside nutrition and training
  • Lab-driven hormone testing or clinical support can help remove barriers to progress
  • Coordination between clinical care and your nutrition plan helps keep goals aligned

*Clinical services are provided directly by Revive Aesthetics & Wellness.

**Clients schedule and pay Revive separately.

What People Are Saying

The “freshman 15” was real for me. With Desiree’s help and a plan that fit my college lifestyle, I was able to lose not just the 15 — but 30 pounds total. I feel better, more confident, and finally back in control of my health”.
-Monique
“I was slowly gaining weight during menopause and didn’t know why. Deserie helped me adjust my portions and how I build my plate, and I’ve seen a big change in my body and energy. With hormone support from NP Ashley alongside my nutrition plan, I finally feel like things are working again.”
-Caroline
Working with Deserie changed my life. I’ve lost over 50 pounds, went from couch to 5K to 10K, and completed a half marathon. Something, I never thought I could do. Her guidance, accountability, and realistic approach helped me build habits that actually last. I’m healthier, stronger, and more confident because of her.”
-Mark

my giveback

I believe true wellness isn’t just about what happens to your body — it’s about what you put back into the world around you. Giving back to my community and supporting meaningful causes is a core part of why Refined Health & Wellness exists.

When a client completes a program, I make a flat donation in their honor. It’s my way of celebrating your progress while creating impact beyond the scale, the gym, or the mirror.

Clients may choose where their donation goes, or support one of the organizations I proudly contribute to;

American Heart Association ; www.Heart.org

Animal Rescue; www.aonj.org

Military & Veteran Support; www.mcmilitaryactioncouncil.org
