Eleven months after giving birth, lifestyle content creator Natalie Núñez was still feeling disconnected from her body. “It was already almost a year, and everyone would tell me, ‘You’ll get back after a year,’ and someone would tell me, ‘You’ll never get your body back,’ and I refused to believe that,” she says. “No matter what I did, nothing worked.” Determined not to settle, she discovered a treatment that helped fast-track her recovery and change the way she felt in her skin—no sit-ups required.
Natalie’s main concern was something many new moms can relate to: a weakened core. “After I got the green light to start working out after I gave birth, no matter what I did, nothing worked,” she says. “I tried to do all those core workouts, and I hate doing crunches. I’m not a fan. I’d rather do something else.”
She discovered Truflex, a muscle-sculpting treatment that uses electrical stimulation to contract the muscles, similar to doing thousands of crunches in one 15-minute session. “It’s going to strengthen, it’s going to tone and it’s going to firm your abs,” she says. “And the best part about it, there’s no downtime.”
The Postpartum Payoff
Natalie noticed a difference quickly. “Honestly, after my second session—I know they say you could see your results after the fourth session—during the second one, I was like, wow, I feel sore. I feel like I’ve worked out, and the stomach just… you know, after a workout, you feel firm, you feel strong there. So I was like, OK, something’s happening here and it’s working.”
She ultimately completed around 12 sessions, spaced about a week apart. “It seriously has changed everything for me for postpartum—looking the way I want to, getting my body back after having a baby,” she says. “I feel like I look even better than what I did before I got pregnant.”
And beyond the physical transformation, it was a mental shift. “Everything feels toned, strong. And that’s the most important one that I wanted—was to strengthen the abs,” she says. “It helped me to strengthen my core so I could carry my daughter all day.”
What Truflex Feels Like
Truflex isn’t painful, but it’s not entirely passive either. “Sometimes I laughed because the vibration would tickle me,” Natalie says. “There’s different levels, and as I continued my treatments, I would go higher and higher. You can feel it, but it’s not painful. I gave birth, so I could take some pain.”
Each session lasts about 15 minutes, with no downtime. “You do it, you get up, you go,” she says. “The best thing about it is [that] the next day, you feel like you worked out. Like, you are sore. And it’s such a good sore.”
“The best workout ever,” she adds. “During my treatments, I would take my book out and read.”
A Targeted Approach
Because the treatment uses individual applicators, it can target specific areas of the body. “I concentrated on my abs, but other people can do their glutes and their thighs,” she says. “I think next—because I’m reaching the point where I don’t have to, my abs look great—I will try my glutes out because I’ve seen amazing results with that.”
The Takeaway
For Natalie, the results were more than skin deep. “My core feels so good, and it looks like it’s toned. It just feels so much better than what I started with at 11 months postpartum,” she says. “Every time I touch [my stomach]—because you can feel if there’s any ab separation after birth—everything feels toned, strong.”
And her advice for other new moms? “If you’ve gotten to a point where you feel like nothing is working and you don’t feel like yourself—because I’ve been there—definitely check out Truflex,” she says. “I feel like the old version of Natalie has come back, but a new version. So it’s Natalie 2.0.”
