Semaglutide Weight Loss for Busy Keller Families
Juggling kids, careers, and community involvement leaves little time for complicated weight loss programs. Semaglutide offers real results with once-weekly injections—and our clinic is just 8 minutes from Keller Town Center.
"I know how hard it is to prioritize health when life is full. Semaglutide works with your biology instead of against it—making sustainable weight loss actually achievable."
— Dr. Josh Lindsley, DO, DABOM · Board-Certified Obesity MedicineWhat is Semaglutide?
Semaglutide is a GLP-1 receptor agonist—a medication that mimics the fullness hormone your body releases after eating. It reduces appetite, quiets the constant thoughts about food, and helps you feel satisfied with smaller portions.
Developed for type 2 diabetes (as Ozempic®), semaglutide earned FDA approval for weight loss in 2021 as Wegovy® after clinical trials showed unprecedented 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 because the goal isn't just weight loss—it's losing fat while keeping the muscle that maintains your metabolism long-term.
How Semaglutide Works
Three biological mechanisms work together to make weight loss feel effortless.
Appetite Reduction
Signals your brain's satiety center that you're full, naturally reducing hunger between meals.
Slower Digestion
Food stays in your stomach longer, so you feel full for hours after eating smaller portions.
Less Food Noise
Quiets the constant mental chatter about food—the cravings that derail every diet attempt.
Clinical Trial Results
The STEP trials proved semaglutide works when other approaches have failed.

Semaglutide for the Keller Community
Keller represents what family-focused suburban living should be—top-rated Keller ISD schools, the trails at Bear Creek, the community events at Keller Town Center, and neighborhoods where families actually know their neighbors. But maintaining that active, engaged lifestyle gets harder when you're carrying extra weight that doesn't respond to diet and exercise alone.
That's where semaglutide changes the equation. Instead of fighting your biology with willpower, this medication works with your body's natural appetite regulation. Parents report having more energy for weekend soccer games, feeling confident at school events, and finally keeping up with their kids without exhaustion.

We designed our practice for busy families—appointments that respect your schedule, a physician who takes time to understand your life, and a data-driven approach that tracks actual body composition rather than just the number on the scale.

Keller Semaglutide FAQs
Highland Longevity is just 8 minutes from Keller Town Center, located at 4801 Golden Triangle Blvd in the Fort Worth Alliance area. Head north on 377 and you'll avoid all the highway congestion. We offer physician-supervised semaglutide with DEXA body composition tracking.
Absolutely not. Highland Longevity is much closer than any Dallas clinic—just 8 minutes north in the Alliance corridor. No I-35 traffic, no fighting for parking in a medical district. We're designed to be convenient for families with packed schedules.
We're a physician-led medical practice, not a med spa adding weight loss as a side service. Dr. Lindsley is board-certified in obesity medicine with over 6,000 clinical hours. We use DEXA scans to track your actual body composition—verifying you're losing fat while preserving muscle.
Semaglutide can be effective for post-pregnancy weight that hasn't responded to diet and exercise—but not while breastfeeding. Once you're no longer nursing, it's an option worth discussing. Many Keller moms have found it helps them finally lose the stubborn weight that accumulated during pregnancy.
Semaglutide is injected once per week—same day each week, but flexible timing. Most patients do it Sunday evening or Monday morning. The injection takes about 30 seconds with a small, nearly painless needle. It's far simpler than daily pills or complicated meal prep requirements.
