What’s Possible with Zerona Week By Week – Dr. Don’s Personal Update
Ok so it is now time for an update…
If you will recall a little over 3 weeks ago I was discussed with myself and what the holidays (yes, I’m blaming the holidays) did to me and my waist!
You can look back at the other blogs to refresh your memory…
So, I decided to do want I prescribe to my patients.
What is that exactly?
Well it depends greatly on what I find out about you… having said that, this is what I did as I would have recommended to someone like me.
1 – I started with a cleanse that would last for 21 one days. It is a food elimination cleanse. In other words there are certain foods you eliminate from your selection of food. I was eating fish and chicken and lots of fruit and veggies. With that cleanse I also took nutrition and supplements that are specific to my lab results. (yes, lab results! That’s a topic for a whole different conversation/blog). During this cleanse I’m not counting calories… I’m not eating prepackaged frozen dinners… I’m not replacing meals with power protein shakes… I’m not starving myself. This is by far the best cleanse program out there! I’ve seen a lot!
2 – A week after, that I started the Zerona laser – every other day. 3 times per week. I did not get a lymphatic massage or digestive massage. Heck, it was hard enough for me to lay down for 40 minutes those there times per week. But I have to say that it was nice to sit back and do some casual reading. I did this for 2 weeks.
3 – the next step is to exercise. This I have not yet started… so let me give you the results as they stand now.
Results…
After 1 week I lost 9 pounds…
After 2 weeks I lost a total of 11 pounds…
em>After 3 weeks I lost a total of 13 pounds… and I’ve lost 3.25 inches to my waist and a quarter of an inch to my hips. I’ve only targeted the laser to my waist.
Once again I am very impressed with the effectiveness of the laser when combined with my nutrition protocol.
However, I’m not yet done! I want to now add exercising to my routine! That will be fun, the hardest part is making time to get it done. I’m going to shoot for 4 times per week, 30 minutes each time.
I’ll let you know the progress in a week or two…
I have to tell you of a bi-product of my doing this… My wife has been motivated to get back in shape too. Having a baby has left her with some unwanted fat and so she is going to approach things differently… I doubt she’ll be willing to let me share with you her numbers.
Another benefit is I feel so much better – more energy, more confidence knowing my close fit better… and heck, who doesn’t like to be asked “you’re looking great, what are you doing to lose weight.”

When You Can’t Look At Yourself In The Mirror Any More…
That’s it! I can take it any more!
No more excuses!
The holidays and being newly married have been terrible for my midsection! Happy as can be, but angry with how I’ve let myself go.
So as of now I am back on the band wagon.
I’ve been helping patients to lose inches with Zerona and weight with my program, it time for me to start a fresh new program to get into shape!
So, this blog is the first in the series of getting my act in gear!
I will be sharing my results as I go. Ugh… yes, I will share with my before number and then my progress numbers.
I cant believe I’ve let myself go for so long. I guess my wife spoils me. Its nice to be in a relationship where love is beyond superficial. J
Once you are FINALLY SO sick and tired of looking at yourself in the mirror and discussed with yourself, you’ll finally take sincerely 100% effort to make a change. That’s me.
How about you?
Are you there yet?
Well, I am. So here is what I’m going to do.
I’m going to treat myself with the Zerona laser. I am going to get back to my healthy eating after I go through my nutrition regiment. I’m going to get back to exercising at least 3 days a week.
My goal is to lose 3 or more inches from my waist and 15 pound or more from my body weight in one month! Can I do it? I think so… but its going to take some energy and time.
Eeks! I’m so busy already… but this is important… after all, what more important that your health?
Thank you for reading my latest article, and I encourage you to leave any questions and comments you may have below.

Zerona “Mind Tricks” Help You Stick With Uour New Years Resolutions Longer!
Happy New Year!
With the New Year come… resolutions.
Raise your hand if you have a New Year’s resolution to get in better shape, to eat better, to exercise more, to be healthier, or simply to shed some inches from your waist!
Like New Years resolutions, or not… when the New Year come subconsciously we think of the coming year as a clean slate. What happened last year is behind you, time for a new fresh start!
So if you are like most, you are looking to at the very least – do better with your health. If you are really motivated and you are sick and tired of putting on a pair of pants that are getting tighter and tighter… or you don’t want to put away those clothes that don’t fit any more because you know deep down that you can get back into them… or you are NOW ready to get into the best shape you’ve been in for a long time…. THEN you are motivated enough to put some action behind your motivation.
Perhaps you’ve started with a new gym membership. Or new exercise equipment. Or a new program you saw on TV. Or a new diet program.
Whatever you have DECIDED to do – Awesome job! You took the first step.
And it is people like you that do the best while under Zerona.
Why is that?
Well, it has to do with our brain… let me explain.
If you started an exercise program and worked at it for weeks but saw no result (even though its very good for you) you will get frustrated. You think to yourself, “Geez, here I am working my butt in the gym for a hours a week, I’m eating better, but still I’m not seeing my waist getting thinner. My breasts are getting smaller, but not my waist!” (Side note: keep with the exercising and eating right – it will pay off, just keep with it)
Sound familiar?
Well, when you doing an exercise program while under Zerona the Zerona is able to give you a change to your waist in the beginning of your exercise program. THIS give you extra motivation to keep with the exercising. THIS mind trick helps you to stick with it until your body’s metabolism is able to kick in to help the fat come off.
Some people stay under the laser for more treatments giving them added boost over that months… other come back to it when they hit a barrier.
If you are interested in getting better results while starting your new exercise or diet program – then you should seriously think about adding this to your action list to get the results.
Whether you use Zerona or not…. Good luck with your New Year’s resolution.
Blessings,
Dr. Troy Don, DC QME
How Much Does Zerona Treatment Cost – Revisited
In the last several months Zerona has become more and more popular and more and more accessible thanks in part to the results, the marketing of this new technology, and its massive embrace by the media and talk shows.
And why not… it is truly an amazing device.
In fact, one doctor has called it the “Holy Grail” in plastic surgery, because there is no down time, no needles, no blood loss, no risk, no adverse affects, no change in life style, its so easy!
When you compare these benefits to the risks of a surgical procedure such as liposuction you’ll see why this procedure should cost on average of $3600!
As more Zerona laser come into the market, and more and more doctors want to provide this state-of-the-art service this could be good for the consumer.
Let me explain…
Right now the cost of 6 sessions will run between $2000 and $3000. Some times you’ll find doctors running a promotion at a discounted rate. (Such as I do, which is one reason to follow me on Twitter. On occasion I’ll make a first come first serve offer at a ridiculously low price.)
One of the problems as more machines enter the market, the new doctor using the device, thinks they can just plug it in and get better than average results. Having talk with and network with many doctors who have been using this for a while, that’s not how it works. Getting better than average results requires more doctoring, more patient support, and more qualification.
Just the other day I had a prospective client from South Pasadena come in for a consultation at my Pasadena office, after they saw a doctor in their town. They were getting a second opinion from me. And they were shocked when I didn’t suggest they do Zerona as I felt it would help them they way they were hoping. This prospective client appreciated my honesty and my suggestion.
So as a warning to people looking into Zerona, I strongly suggest that when you speak to a doctor, that you find out exactly what you are getting.
In my office I offer different levels of service with the Zerona. From the most basic Zerona only packages to the more advanced and more supportive programs that include nutritional support beyond an overly simple single supplement.
Also I suggest you research the doctor using Zerona. Ask them how long they have been using it. Ask them if they have done any of their own clinical studies.
Bottom-line is that YOU have to compare what you are getting. Compare apples to apples and not apples to oranges.
Good luck to you!
Blessings,
Dr. Troy Don, DC QME
