Semaglutide Weight Loss for Colleyville Residents
Life in Colleyville moves fast—between GCISD events, community commitments, and maintaining one of DFW's most desirable neighborhoods. Semaglutide helps you lose weight without adding another complicated program to your schedule.
"Colleyville families don't need another complicated program. They need something that works with their biology so they can focus on what matters."
— Dr. Josh Lindsley, DO, DABOM · Board-Certified Obesity MedicineWhat is Semaglutide?
Semaglutide is a GLP-1 receptor agonist that works by mimicking a natural hormone your body produces after eating. It signals fullness to your brain, reducing appetite and quieting the constant thoughts about food that sabotage most diet attempts.
Originally developed for type 2 diabetes (Ozempic®), semaglutide was FDA-approved for weight loss in 2021 as Wegovy® after clinical trials showed remarkable results: patients lost an average of 15% of their body weight over 68 weeks.
At Highland Longevity, we combine semaglutide with DEXA body composition scanning to verify you're losing fat—not the muscle that keeps your metabolism healthy long-term.
How Semaglutide Works
Three mechanisms combine to create sustainable appetite control.
Appetite Suppression
Activates brain receptors that reduce hunger signals, making it easy to eat smaller portions naturally.
Extended Satiety
Slows gastric emptying so you feel full for hours after eating, eliminating between-meal snacking.
Reduced Cravings
Quiets the "food noise"—those persistent thoughts about eating that derail traditional diets.
Clinical Trial Results
The STEP trials established semaglutide as a breakthrough in obesity medicine.

Semaglutide for the Colleyville Community
Colleyville has evolved from rural farmland into one of the most sought-after addresses in DFW—a community where families choose to put down roots, where neighbors still wave from their front porches, and where the pace of life feels manageable despite proximity to everything the Metroplex offers. The Village at Colleyville anchors a charming downtown, and GCISD schools consistently rank among the state's best.
But maintaining an active lifestyle in Colleyville becomes harder when stubborn weight doesn't respond to diet and exercise. Many residents have tried everything—gym memberships, nutrition programs, even other medical interventions—only to find the weight returns. That cycle of effort and disappointment is exhausting.
Semaglutide offers a different approach. By working at the biological level—reducing appetite, extending fullness, quieting food cravings—it makes maintaining a caloric deficit feel manageable instead of grueling. Combined with our DEXA body composition tracking, you'll know exactly what's happening: fat loss, muscle preservation, metabolic changes. Highland Longevity is just 14 minutes from Village at Colleyville via Highway 26 North—close enough for convenient appointments without the congestion of heading toward Dallas.
