Semaglutide for Westlake Executives Who Demand Results
You optimize every aspect of your business and investments. Your health deserves the same analytical rigor. Physician-supervised semaglutide with DEXA body composition tracking—because executives don't accept guesswork.
"Westlake executives think in metrics. That's why I show patients exactly what's happening—fat loss, muscle preservation, metabolic rate. No guessing, just data."
— Dr. Josh Lindsley, DO, DABOM · Board-Certified Obesity MedicineWhat is Semaglutide?
Semaglutide is a GLP-1 receptor agonist—the class of medication that transformed obesity medicine. It mimics the satiety hormone your body produces after eating, signaling to your brain that you're full before you overeat.
Originally approved for type 2 diabetes (Ozempic®), semaglutide gained FDA approval for weight loss in 2021 as Wegovy® after clinical trials demonstrated average weight loss of 15% over 68 weeks—results that made headlines worldwide.
At Highland Longevity, we pair semaglutide with DEXA body composition analysis and metabolic testing. Why? Because sophisticated patients want to know they're losing fat and preserving muscle—not just watching the scale move.
How Semaglutide Works
Three distinct mechanisms create sustainable appetite control.
Hypothalamic Signaling
Activates GLP-1 receptors in the brain's appetite center, reducing hunger at the neurological level.
Gastric Emptying
Slows stomach emptying, extending satiety for hours after meals and reducing portion sizes naturally.
Reward Pathway
Dampens the brain's reward response to food, eliminating the constant "food noise" that drives overeating.
Clinical Trial Results
Phase 3 STEP trial data—the evidence that matters.
Source: STEP 1 Clinical Trial (N Engl J Med 2021). Results with 2.4mg weekly dose plus lifestyle intervention.
Semaglutide for the Westlake Community
Westlake represents the apex of DFW achievement—from the corporate headquarters at Solana to the estates of Vaquero to the families who chose Westlake Academy for its rigorous IB curriculum. Residents here have built exceptional careers, exceptional businesses, and exceptional lives. But somehow, despite that same drive and discipline, many find that maintaining an optimal body composition becomes increasingly difficult.
The challenge isn't lack of willpower. It's biology. As we age, hormones shift, metabolism slows, and the body fights harder to hold onto fat. Semaglutide changes that equation by working at the neurological level—reducing appetite, quieting food cravings, and making it possible to maintain a caloric deficit without the constant battle.
Highland Longevity is 15 minutes west of Westlake via 114, in the Alliance corridor. We're not a high-volume chain clinic—we're a physician-led practice that respects your time and privacy. Expect unhurried appointments, comprehensive diagnostics, and the same analytical approach to your health that you apply to your business decisions. DEXA scans quantify exactly what's happening. Metabolic testing eliminates guesswork about calories. This is optimization, not approximation.

Westlake Semaglutide FAQs
Highland Longevity offers private, physician-supervised semaglutide 15 minutes from Westlake via 114 West. We're not a high-volume clinic with waiting rooms full of other patients. Expect discrete, unhurried appointments with comprehensive body composition tracking.
Yes. Our Full Metabolic Blueprint includes DEXA body composition scanning, RMR metabolic rate testing, comprehensive labs, and physician consultation. This data-driven approach appeals to executives who want measurable results—not just a prescription and a handshake.
Absolutely. We understand Westlake executives have demanding calendars. Appointments are efficient yet thorough, and the injection itself takes 30 seconds once weekly at home. No time-consuming daily regimens or meal prep requirements.
Because muscle is metabolically active tissue. Lose muscle and your metabolism slows—setting you up for weight regain. DEXA scans verify you're losing fat while preserving lean mass. That's the difference between temporary results and sustainable transformation.
Compounded semaglutide contains the same active molecule as Wegovy—semaglutide. We source from FDA-registered 503B compounding pharmacies that meet pharmaceutical manufacturing standards. For patients whose insurance doesn't cover brand-name medication, compounded semaglutide offers the same therapeutic benefit at a lower cost.
