Semaglutide Weight Loss for Southlake's High Performers
The same FDA-approved GLP-1 therapy trusted by executives and professionals across DFW—now available just minutes from Town Square. Physician-supervised with DEXA body composition tracking to ensure you're losing fat, not muscle.
"Southlake residents expect results they can measure. That's why every semaglutide patient gets DEXA scans—so you know exactly what you're losing."
— Dr. Josh Lindsley, DO, DABOM · Board-Certified Obesity MedicineWhat is Semaglutide?
Semaglutide is a GLP-1 receptor agonist that mimics a hormone your body naturally produces after eating. It signals to your brain that you're satisfied, dramatically reducing appetite and those constant thoughts about food.
Originally developed for type 2 diabetes (Ozempic®), semaglutide gained FDA approval for weight loss in 2021 as Wegovy® after clinical trials showed patients lost an average of 15% of their body weight—making it the most effective weight loss medication available at the time.
At Highland Longevity, we pair semaglutide with DEXA body composition scans to track exactly what you're losing. The goal isn't just a lower number on the scale—it's losing fat while preserving the muscle that keeps your metabolism strong.
How Semaglutide Works
Three mechanisms work together to help you eat less and feel satisfied longer.
Reduces Appetite
Acts on your hypothalamus to decrease hunger signals and increase satiety after smaller meals.
Slows Digestion
Delays gastric emptying so food stays in your stomach longer, extending fullness between meals.
Quiets Food Noise
Reduces the constant mental chatter about food that makes traditional dieting so exhausting.
Clinical Trial Results
The STEP trials established semaglutide as a breakthrough in obesity medicine.
