Actress Aiko Melendez recently took to social media to share a candid and inspiring update on her personal health journey, opening up about the challenges she has faced due to hypothyroidism—a condition known to cause sudden weight gain, palpitations, and fatigue.

In her heartfelt post, Aiko thanked Dr. Roland Angeles for guiding her recovery with the right medic@tion and close supervision.

“Having hypothyroidism is tough,” she wrote. “But thankfully, under Dr. Roland, I’ve been able to recover step by step.”

While medic@tion helped stabilize her condition, Aiko stressed the importance of sweating out toxins through physical activity. However, with a demanding schedule, she acknowledged the difficulty of sticking to regular gym workouts. That’s where innovation stepped in.

Enter the EMS suit, an advanced workout technology that simulates high-intensity training. With the help of Coach Ori Shimada from Empower Fitness PH, Aiko was able to incorporate home-based sessions into her routine.

According to her, just 25 minutes of EMS-assisted exercise can help burn up to 1,500 calories—an impressive feat for someone constantly on the go.

“Isn’t that the wonder of science?” she exclaimed. Still, she made it clear that it isn’t a shortcut.

“This still requires effort and determination. Nothing comes easy—you need to work hard if you want to achieve your goals.”

Her current goal is simple yet powerful: to become healthier before turning 50 this year.

She emphasized that this wasn’t a paid promotion but an honest account of someone who struggled with weight gain and found realistic solutions to address it.

Aiko also used her platform to encourage others, especially women, to not give up on their health goals no matter their age.

“It’s never too late to be healthy,” she reminded her followers, adding a smile and green heart emoji to reflect her positive spirit.

The actress ended her post by asking for supplement suggestions from her community, showing that her journey is ongoing—and that she’s open to learning from others as she moves forward in pursuit of wellness.
