Gluten Free And The Zerona LipoLaser

As part of the Clearvite protocol going gluten free is suggested.  When people hear the phrase “gluten free,”  some people’s palms will begin to sweat as the thought of eliminating bread, pasta, and anything with the words “modified food starch” on the label.

Well, there really is no reason to feel this way.  Today, there are several gluten free options…ya just gotta look.  I’ve found that Whole Foods has the best gluten free alternatives, but places like Sprouts and even main stream grocery stores like Tom Thumb and Kroger have gluten free choices.  There are gluten free breads, pasta, cookies, ketchup, etc., etc. There are magazines about gluten free living, a couple that I’ve looked into are  “Living Without” and “Delight-Gluten Free.”  Gluten free websites are easily found on the web…it’s just a change in thinking.

Gluten is a common food allergy.  In fact 1 in every 133 person has a gluten intolerance and may not even know it.  There are tests we offer in our offices to test for the most common food allergies.

How does this affect your Zerona experience?  A food allergy will cause inflammation in the gut. Inflammation causes blood sugar to rise and alter metabolism.

Zerona Laser Found To Reduce Hunger Cravings

McKinney, TX May 5, 2009 – Erchonia Medical, the global leader in low level laser healthcare applications, announces today that its newest laser for body sculpting, Zerona, has been clinically shown to reduce the levels of the hunger-hormone, leptin, and lipoprotein (LDL). A 22 participant pilot study revealed that Zerona not only reduced circumferential inches following a two week treatment phase, but also lowered all patients’ leptin levels and reduced low-density lipoprotein numbers in over 50% of the participants in just two weeks.

Although Zerona is already positioned ahead of its competitors in terms of its ability to non-invasively, safely and effectively reduce an average of 3.64 inches around the waist, hips and thighs, this new data could have beneficial results for many patients struggling with overeating. Suppressing the very hormones that may cause individuals to be overweight or obese can further aid Zerona patients with their weight-loss goals.

Erchonia President, Steve Shanks, comments, “For most devices, the patient comes in, receives the treatment and leaves; the reason why that person was overweight or obese to begin with is not addressed. By suppressing the hunger-hormone leptin, patients’ appetites can be lessened helping them modify their diets and establish portion control going forward.”

In addition to reducing inches, suppressing hunger and reducing LDL levels, Zerona is also unique because it does not destroy fat tissue, unlike the majority of other devices on the market. Zerona promote a biological cascade within the cell provoking the formation of tiny pore or opening within the protective barrier of the cell. Then, stored fatty material leaves the cell, causing it to collapse safely.

Digestion is One of the Keys to Success. . .

The Zerona Lipo Laser requires several systems to be working for it to achieve the results that you want.  We have touched on the adrenal glands before, so lets talk about digestion in general.  Sometimes people fail to realize the importance of a properly working digestive system.  For example if you eat three regular meals a day, you should have three bowel movements as well.

Your bowel movements play a vital role in your results.  The Zerona is designed to liquefy the fat and then this liquid seeps into the extracellular space.  After this it is transported to the digestive track by the lymphatic system.  So a simple process of elimination(no pun intended) shows us that if the bowels are not functioning, either will the lymphatic system.  You cant allow one to be backed up, or the other will also be affected. And you will not get results.

Some people have one or fewer bowel movements per day, and that is just not effective or healthy.  In my office, I will not accept a patient that has a system not operating healthily. What I am saying is that you need to be having two or more movements per day.

So the question begs, what can I do if I am not having at least two bowel movements per day?  You can try a cleanse with plenty of raw fruit and vegetables (more fiber), hydrate yourself, massages specific to the GI tract, and also decrease caffeine or other diuretics (unless prescribed, then you should check with your physician).

If these don’t work you can be evaluated for other conditions that may affect the GI tract and see if those get your body moving.

Remember, this is all done for you to achieve the best results.  Contact our office if you would like more information.

Thanks

Adrenal Gland Dysfunction and The Zerona Laser

The adrenals glands are small walnut size glands that sits atop each kidney.  The adrenals are also known as the “stress” glands. When you are under stress, whether physical, chemical, or emotional these glands go to work and secrete Cortisol into the body.  Cortisol retains fat.  This safety mechanism was put in our body to reserve fat stores and prepare for periods of potential lack of food availability.  Think about how life was back when man first emerged on the Earth foraging for nuts and berries, burning lots of calories to survive and all of a sudden you’re being chased by a sabertooth tiger…Cortisol is released to use as little fat as possible.  Well, that was great back then, but how is this harmful in our Modern Day society???  Answers to that and how this may affect the Zerona laser experience in my next entry.

Be Your Best,
