Lose Fat. Preserve Muscle. Keep It Off.
Most weight loss programs help you lose weight—then watch you gain it back. We take a different approach: physician-supervised GLP-1 therapy combined with DEXA body composition tracking and metabolic testing. Know exactly what you're losing and why.
❌ The Old Way
- Crash diets that tank your metabolism
- Losing muscle along with the fat
- No data—just the scale and hope
- One-size-fits-all meal plans
- Weight regain within 12 months
- Grey-market peptides and "wellness" clinics
✔ The Highland Approach
- Physician-supervised GLP-1 therapy with proper dosing
- DEXA scans to verify you're losing fat, not muscle
- RMR testing to set your actual calorie needs
- Protocols tailored to your metabolic data
- Body recomposition, not just weight loss
- Only FDA-approved or properly compounded medications
The Data Doesn't Lie
We don't just prescribe medications—we track outcomes. Here's what evidence-based weight loss actually looks like.
Why I Started Highland Longevity
"I lost the weight—but I also lost muscle. That's when I realized the scale was lying to me."
Like many of my patients, I started with GLP-1 medications and watched the scale drop. But when I got my DEXA scan, I discovered I'd lost significant lean muscle mass along with the fat.
That's when everything changed. I redesigned my approach—tracking body composition, optimizing protein intake, and adjusting my protocol to preserve muscle while losing fat. The result? True body recomposition.
This is exactly what we do for every patient at Highland Longevity. Because weight loss that costs you your metabolism isn't success—it's a setup for regain.

Verified Patient Results
Verified DEXA scan data from Highland Longevity patients. Individual results may vary.
Medical Weight Loss Treatments
FDA-approved GLP-1 medications combined with precision diagnostics. Every protocol is physician-supervised and tailored to your metabolic profile.
Semaglutide (Wegovy®/Ozempic®)
The FDA-approved GLP-1 that changed weight loss medicine. Reduces appetite, slows gastric emptying, and helps patients lose 15-17% of body weight in clinical trials.
Tirzepatide (Zepbound®/Mounjaro®)
The newest FDA-approved option targeting both GLP-1 and GIP receptors. Clinical studies show up to 22% body weight reduction—the most effective medication available.
DEXA Body Composition Scan
The gold standard in body composition analysis. Know exactly how much fat, muscle, and bone you have—and track changes with ±1% accuracy over time.
Resting Metabolic Rate (RMR)
Stop guessing your calories. A 20-minute breath test measures exactly how many calories your body burns at rest—the foundation for any effective nutrition plan.
We Don't Guess. We Test.
Every weight loss program starts with comprehensive diagnostics. You'll know exactly what's happening inside your body before we prescribe anything.

Your Fort Worth Weight Loss Physician
Dr. Joshua Lindsley isn't just board-certified in Obesity Medicine—he's lived the transformation himself. He lost 70 pounds on GLP-1 medications, but noticed something concerning: he was losing muscle along with the fat.
So he redesigned his approach. Better diagnostics. Smarter protocols. A focus on body composition over scale weight. The result? An additional 17 pounds of pure fat loss while preserving lean muscle mass.
That's the difference between weight loss and transformation. And it's the foundation of everything we do at Highland Longevity.

Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about medical weight loss at Highland Longevity.
Clinical studies show patients lose 15-20% of body weight with semaglutide and up to 22% with tirzepatide over 12-18 months. However, we focus on body composition—losing fat while preserving muscle—not just scale weight. Our DEXA tracking ensures you're losing the right kind of weight.
Semaglutide (Wegovy/Ozempic) targets GLP-1 receptors to reduce appetite. Tirzepatide (Zepbound/Mounjaro) targets both GLP-1 and GIP receptors, often producing greater weight loss. Your physician will recommend the best option based on your health profile and goals.
The scale doesn't tell you what kind of weight you're losing. A DEXA scan shows exactly how much is fat vs. muscle. This matters because losing muscle tanks your metabolism and leads to weight regain. We track your body composition to ensure you're losing fat and preserving lean mass.
Three things set us apart: 1) Our physician lost 87 lbs himself using these protocols. 2) We have in-house DEXA and metabolic testing equipment—not outsourced. 3) We focus on body recomposition, not just the scale number. We've seen too many patients lose weight only to regain it because they lost muscle, not fat.
Our Full Metabolic Blueprint diagnostic package starts at $997 and includes DEXA scan, RMR testing, comprehensive labs, and physician consultation. GLP-1 medication costs vary based on your protocol. We believe in transparent pricing—book a free consultation to discuss your specific situation.
