Mariel Padilla’s life has been a series of evolving chapters, marked by personal changes that resonate with many women. From concerns about muscle loss to bladder leaks and hormonal shifts, her experience highlights the importance of understanding and addressing these common issues.
Balancing the demands of raising children, managing a household, and maintaining her career, Mariel has always prioritized her health. Yet, as she entered her 40s, she began noticing subtle but impactful changes. Her body was changing — she experienced a decline in muscle tone and, at times, bladder leaks after coughing or laughing. Her discovery was eye-opening. These aren’t simply “part of getting older,” but are closely linked to muscle loss and hormonal fluctuations that start in our 30s and accelerate during perimenopause, the transitional phase before menopause.
The Hidden Challenges of Perimenopause
Mariel openly admits, “I know that so many of us suffer from bladder leakage or an overactive bladder, that when you feel the urge to go, oh, you really have to go. It can be embarrassing, but it’s very common.” This highlights how widespread these issues are among women navigating midlife changes.
As estrogen levels decline, natural muscle loss occurs, impacting not only metabolism—leading to weight gain, especially around the midsection—but also affecting strength, balance, and bladder control. Another issue during this phase involves weak pelvic floor muscles, which can result from pregnancy, childbirth, hormonal shifts, aging, weight gain, or chronic conditions like coughing and constipation. Over time, these factors may contribute to urinary incontinence, decreased core stability, and discomfort, quietly affecting a woman’s daily quality of life.
Introducing Wonder Axon®: A Revolutionary Approach
In seeking solutions, Mariel turned to Wonder Axon® by Marie France—a cutting-edge treatment that combines neuromuscular stimulation, electromagnetic fields, and radiofrequency energy. This innovative procedure induces thousands of deep muscle contractions in just 25 minutes, targeting muscles that are often difficult to strengthen through traditional workouts.
Mariel emphasizes, “For someone like me na hindi talaga ma-workout, this has been such a big help. But if you do workouts regularly, it also complements what you do by targeting muscles that are usually hard to reach.” The benefits of Wonder Axon® extend beyond toning; it helps combat age-related muscle loss, strengthen muscles, support bone health, improve joint mobility, and boost metabolism and fat burning.
The treatment’s reach goes deep—targeting not just visible muscles, but also the core and the five major pelvic floor muscles. By strengthening this interconnected network from within, Wonder Axon® builds a stronger foundation, resulting in improved core strength, pelvic support, and overall body confidence.
A New Perspective on Women’s Health
Wonder Axon® signifies a new era in women’s wellness—one that emphasizes resilience, strength, and overall well-being. Mariel hopes that by sharing her experience, other women will feel empowered to seek help and not suffer in silence. “Stop suffering in silence,” she encourages. “You don’t have to do this alone.”
