GLP-1 (Glucagon-Like Peptide-1) therapy is an advanced medical treatment that helps regulate appetite, improve insulin sensitivity, and support sustainable weight loss. These medications—such as semaglutide and tirzepatide—work by mimicking a naturally occurring hormone that slows digestion, reduces hunger signals, and stabilizes blood sugar levels. At Luz Lounge, our GLP-1 program is customized to your unique metabolic profile. Each client begins with a full clinical assessment, including a review of medical history, contraindications, and lifestyle factors. Our licensed providers monitor progress, adjust dosing as needed, and ensure safety through continuous follow-up and lab evaluation. GLP-1 therapy is not a quick fix—it’s a medical partnership designed to help you reset your metabolism, restore energy, and achieve long-term results through balanced nutrition, physical activity, and guided medical supervision.

Potential Risks & ComplicationsAs with any medical treatment, GLP-1 receptor agonists carry potential side effects and risks. While many people tolerate therapy well, some may experience the following: Common & Expected Effects- Mild nausea, bloating, or decreased appetite (especially during dose escalation)
- Constipation, diarrhea, or mild abdominal discomfort
- Fatigue or dizziness, particularly when eating too little
- Mild headaches or “low blood sugar” sensations in sensitive individuals
Less Common but Reported Effects- Injection site redness, itching, or tenderness
- Gallbladder issues or formation of gallstones related to rapid weight loss
- Temporary hair shedding (telogen effluvium) during metabolic transition
- Mood fluctuations or reduced alcohol tolerance
Serious but Rare Risks (require immediate medical attention)- Pancreatitis: sudden severe abdominal pain radiating to the back
- Acute kidney injury or dehydration
- Severe hypoglycemia if used with other diabetic medications
- Allergic reaction: rash, swelling, or difficulty breathing
- Possible thyroid C-cell tumors (seen in rodents; not confirmed in humans) — contraindicated for those with personal or family history of Medullary Thyroid Carcinoma (MTC) or Multiple Endocrine Neoplasia type 2 (MEN2)
If any unusual or severe symptoms occur, discontinue injections and contact your provider or seek urgent medical care. By proceeding with GLP-1 therapy, you acknowledge that your provider has discussed the potential benefits, risks, and alternatives, and that results may vary based on adherence and individual response.
ARTICLE I: ARBITRATION Article 1.1: Agreement To Arbitrate: It is understood that any dispute as to medical malpractice by Client, including any party that would have standing to assert a claim on behalf of or in connection with services provided to Client, that is as to whether medical services rendered under this contract were unnecessary, unauthorized or lacking informed consent or were improperly, negligently, or incompetently rendered, will be determined by submission to arbitration as provided by California law, and not by a lawsuit or resort to court process except as California law provides for judicial review of arbitration proceedings. For purposes of this agreement, “Dispute” means any claim or controversy of whatever kind or nature including (without limitation) any claim or controversy regarding the formation, validity, interpretation and/or enforceability of this agreement to arbitrate and any claim or controversy by the Client asserting loss of consortium, wrongful death, emotional distress or punitive damages. Both parties to this contract, by entering into it, are giving up their constitutional right to have any such dispute decided in a court of law before a jury, and instead are accepting the use of arbitration. Article 1.2: Procedure For Initiating Arbitration: Either party to this agreement may initiate Arbitration by submitting a Demand for Arbitration in writing to the other. The Demand shall contain a plain and simple statement of the nature of the Dispute and the remedy demanded. There shall be one Arbitrator who shall be a retired Judge of a court of record. The Arbitrator shall be selected by agreement of the parties on or before 30-calendar days of the date that the Demand for arbitration is deposited for delivery with a common carrier (as determined by a postmark or other equivalent writing imprinted by the common carrier). If the parties have not agreed to a selection of the Arbitrator, than either party may petition the appropriate Superior Court to appoint the Arbitrator and, consistent with CCP § 1281.6, the Superior Court shall appoint the Arbitrator, who shall have the qualifications stated in this paragraph. Article 1.3: Law Governing Arbitration; Arbitrator’s Award And Enforcement. Without reference to its choice of law rules, the Arbitrator shall apply the substantive state laws. The Arbitrator shall render his or her award in writing and the award shall separately state the Arbitrator’s findings of fact and conclusions of law. The Arbitrator’s award shall be binding on the parties to the arbitration and judgment on the award may be entered by a court of competent jurisdiction in state of treatment. Judicial proceedings to confirm, amend, or vacate the arbitration award shall also take place in state of treatment. To the extent permitted by law, venue for such proceedings shall be in the county (or the federal judicial district) where the services were rendered. Unless the Arbitrator shall determine otherwise, the Arbitration shall take place in the county where the services were rendered. The Arbitrator shall have the authority to hear any claim and award any remedy that could otherwise be heard or rendered by the Superior Court or a federal district court in my state. Discovery shall proceed in accordance with Code of Civil Procedure, and, in addition, any party, may, of right, bring a motion for summary judgment or adjudication in accordance with CCP § 437c. The parties to this agreement agree to arbitrate in one proceeding all claims arising out of the same or a related incident, transaction or occurrence. Article 1.4: Small Claims Court: Notwithstanding the foregoing any party to this agreement may initiate and prosecute in the small claims division of the Superior Court any claim at law demanding an amount equal to or less than the jurisdictional limit of the small claims division. Notwithstanding applicable law, no judgment in an action initiated in the small claims division may be entered for an amount in excess of the jurisdictional limit of the small claims division. Article 1.5: Severability: If any provision of this arbitration agreement is held invalid or unenforceable, the remaining provisions shall remain in full force and shall not be affected by the invalidity of any other provisions. NOTICE: BY SIGNING THIS CONTRACT YOU ARE AGREEING TO HAVE ANY ISSUE OF MEDICAL MALPRACTICE DECIDED BY MUTUAL ARBITRATION AND YOU ARE GIVING UP YOUR RIGHT TO JURY OR COURT TRIAL.
