Regular-Gal Weight Loss That Changed Everything for Mel
“Be honest—do you ever feel like wellness just isn’t for people like you?”
Because same.
I used to think wellness was for kale moms and protein-shake girlies. Like, if you had matching workout sets, time for a 6 a.m. hot yoga class, and remembered to take all 27 of your supplements… maybe you could pull it off.
That just wasn’t me.
I was busy. I was tired. I was carrying stress, weight, and shame—and trying to hold it together while pretending it was all fine.
Turns out, I didn’t need a Pinterest smoothie board.
I needed clarity. Data. And a plan that actually worked with my body.
The Truth: I Was Doing “Everything Right”… And Still Gaining
- I counted macros
- I walked every day
- I drank the stupid water
- I gave up wine (well, for a minute)
- I skipped meals to “balance my hormones”
- I did the influencer protocols
- I spent $900 on gut health supplements
…and nothing changed.
In fact, I gained 17 pounds.
What No One Tells You: It Might Not Be Your Willpower
Here’s what no diet, Peloton ride, or macro coach could see:
My cortisol was wrecked.
My estrogen was too high.
My thyroid was dragging.
My body was literally fighting me.
And until I ran a proper lab panel with a medically guided program, I just thought I was the problem.
This wasn’t just about “weight loss.”
This was about not hating my body for trying to survive.
So What Did I Actually Do?
I didn’t buy another 8-week challenge.
I didn’t spend hours on TikTok trying to decode hormones.
I booked a baseline call with Apex.
I ordered labs.
I found out what was actually going on inside me.
And for the first time in years, I had a real strategy.
Not a meal plan. Not a vibe. A medically guided, lab-informed protocol built around me.
This Is Regular-Girl Wellness
If you’ve been wondering…
- Is it my hormones?
- Why am I gaining weight even though I’m eating less?
- Do I have insulin resistance?
- What even is cortisol dysregulation?
- Why do I feel like I’m losing my mind before my period?
- Is this perimenopause?
- Why am I always tired, bloated, and wired at the same time?
Then you’re already asking the right questions.
You just deserve better answers.
This Isn’t Woo-Woo Wellness. It’s Medically Guided Weight Loss.
Here’s what made the difference:
- A full hormone panel (not just “are you normal?”—but what’s optimal)
- A team who actually reviewed my symptoms and labs side-by-side
- A protocol that worked with my system—not against it
- And support that didn’t judge me for being a little skeptical
I wasn’t the “wellness type.”
I was just the tired, smart, frustrated type.
Which turns out, is exactly who Apex is built for.
You Don’t Have to Be Ready
You just have to be done with guessing.
If that’s where you are—start with a baseline call.
We’ll talk through it. No pressure. No fluff.

If you’re like, “nope, I’m ready—give me the labs,”
You can go straight there too:
→ [Order Labs]
Final Word
You’re not crazy. You’re not broken. You’re not lazy.
You’re probably just in a body that’s been ignored—by systems, providers, and protocols that never saw you clearly in the first place.
You don’t need a total life overhaul.
You need real answers.
And you deserve to feel like you again.
This is regular-girl weight loss.
Rooted in medicine. Backed by data.
Built for women who’ve had enough.
