The Best Way to Get Your Digestive System Ready for Zerona
Because you asked for it and because you are not getting the support from your doctors and health care professionals, I’m here to tell you about what I recommend for my patients.
When I sit down with a person who is interested in getting Zerona laser done, BUT I discover a significant potential challenge from their digestive system I have a conversation similar to what I’ll be sharing with you in this article.
The laser is great at doing two things – breaking up the fat particle into its smaller component parts (liquefying it) and opening natural channels that exist in the fat cell wall. This allows the fat to seep out into the interstitial tissue. That’s where the work of the Zerona laser stops. It is then up to your body to do the rest – specifically the lymphatic system. Your lymphatic system will gather that “debris” and carry it to the liver to be processed then you eliminate it through a bowel movement.
So, if you are backed up in your digestive system – that can present itself as a bottle-neck. In other words, the lymphatic system wont want to carry something to an area that already has a traffic jam.
That’s why I am such an advocate for a good moving system.
So if you have a digestive problem, this article is for you – EVEN if you are not considering Zerona!
Lets define digestive problem.
Your food takes about 4 hours to be broken down and digested and to move though your digestive track. Which makes sense, as we should be eating about every 4 hours. In fact, the process of eating stimulates your nervous system to have a bowel movement.
So yes, I am saying you should have 3 full bowel movements a day.
Now get this… if you eat 3 meals a day… but have a bowel movement only once every two days… this is a problem! Essentially you are like 5 to 6 meals behind! Right?
Unfortunately most people eat poorly. And those that eat “healthy”, determine that “healthy” label by comparing themselves to others and by going off their GENERAL knowledge of “healthy” eating.
While that is a good start, it is not adequate for people who have a problem. If you have a problem, then we need to move past the “general” and get “specific”. So for you, you need to determine your food sensitivities – there are many.
Most people may do a cleanse by just taking some capsules to “cleanse” the body, while making not changes to their eating habits. In other words, they are hoping to clean themselves but not giving any attention to removing the toxins that they have in their daily diet.
Simply – you’ve got to get the dog out of the mud before you try to wash the dog.
The best program that I have experienced and witnessed is a doctor supported program. You wont find this on the shelf at your drug store or at you vitamin shop.
This program I recommend is also a food elimination diet. In other words, I want you to find out what foods you are sensitive too – there are many!
This program at first does not appear easy. Rather, it requires a lifestyle change for 21-days.
Did I mention it requires a lifestyle change?
If not… guess what… it requires a lifestyle change!
If you’d like to learn more about this cleanse, I recorded a video of the last “class” presentation. I call it a Discovery Day. In my Rancho Cucamonga office, 3 weeks ago, I had 43 people finish (out of 44 that started) a cleanse with fantastic feedback and results. Weight loss, energy, bowel habits, sleep improvements, etc. There was such a demand from those graduates for their friends and family that they wanted me to do it again with another group. So if you’d like to learn more… watch this…

Hi Lori,
Sorry to here that you had poor results. Let me see if I can answer your questions.
Is it possible for a person to simply be “resistant” to the laser, and therefore get little or no result from the laser? I imagine that has to be a possibility, however I could not explain or give scientific reasoning for that challenge. I’ve come to realize that anything is possible. I have even heard from doctors that had received a Zerona laser that was not getting results on ANY of her patients – it turned out that her laser was not working and the company quickly replaced it and the doctor then got results. It is even possible that your body might even have other issues that your doctors have not yet identified – happens all the time.
Your other question is simple. You say “if the laser did work where did the fat go”? Its a common question and the answer is worth repeating.
As the fat seeps out of your cells it then goes into your intersticial space (space between the cells), where your lymphatic system then collects that fat and carries it to the liver to be processed. Then you eliminate it through bowel movements. I suspect from your question about fat “floating around in my blood” leads me to believe that you were not aware of this process. When Zerona got FDA approval for safety that was one of those things they had to look at, and its interesting to note that the lipid panels showed a normalization of cholesterol as positive side effect.
Thanks for sharing, it brought up many interesting points.

thank you so much for the very informative information about Zerona!!!
my questions are…. If you exercise alot already(60-90min day mix of weights, cardio, pilates), drink plenty of fluids, have regular bowels movements, sugar levels and thyroid all within healthy limits, healthy eating, could someones body just not respond to the affects of the laser on the fat cell? I was one of the unlucky ones that did not lose inches while adding massages, a detox supplement and yes even a silly fat cream onto my daily healthy routine. The other question which concerned me was, if the laser did work on the fat cells, where did the fat go? Did it go back into the cell or is it floating around in my blood? Im getting my yearly check up so Ill see how my lipids are and let you know if interested. Thank you so much for all the information. God Bless.. Lori
