Tirzepatide: Maximum Weight Loss for Haslet Families
Haslet's rapidly growing Alliance corridor deserves convenient access to the most effective weight loss medication available. Tirzepatide's dual GIP/GLP-1 action delivers up to 22% weight loss—and our clinic is just 5 minutes from Alliance Town Center.
"Tirzepatide's dual mechanism delivers results that rival bariatric surgery—without the surgery. For patients who need maximum weight loss, this is the most powerful tool we have."
— Dr. Josh Lindsley, DO, DABOM · Board-Certified Obesity MedicineWhat is Tirzepatide?
Tirzepatide (Zepbound/Mounjaro) is a breakthrough dual GIP/GLP-1 receptor agonist from Eli Lilly. Unlike semaglutide which only targets GLP-1, tirzepatide activates both incretin pathways—delivering significantly greater weight loss.
Clinical trials showed patients losing up to 22.5% of their body weight, with 57% of participants losing 20% or more. These results approach what's typically seen only with bariatric surgery.
At Highland Longevity, we combine tirzepatide 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 Tirzepatide Works
Dual receptor activation delivers superior results compared to single-agonist medications.
Dual Receptor Action
Activates both GIP and GLP-1 receptors simultaneously, amplifying appetite suppression beyond single-agonist drugs.
Enhanced Satiety
Signals your brain's satiety center more powerfully, naturally reducing hunger and food noise between meals.
Metabolic Enhancement
Improves insulin sensitivity and blood sugar control while potentially increasing energy expenditure.
Clinical Trial Results
The SURMOUNT trials proved tirzepatide delivers unprecedented weight loss.

Tirzepatide for the Haslet Community
Haslet is one of the fastest-growing communities along the Alliance corridor—and for good reason. New neighborhoods are rising alongside excellent Northwest ISD schools, creating the kind of family-friendly environment that attracts people seeking quality of life. But rapid growth often means limited local healthcare options, forcing residents to drive into Fort Worth or Dallas for specialized care.
For Haslet families who've struggled with weight that doesn't respond to diet and exercise alone, tirzepatide offers a breakthrough solution. Its dual mechanism delivers results that can rival bariatric surgery—helping you finally achieve the transformation that's felt out of reach, without leaving your community.
Located just 5 minutes from Alliance Town Center on Golden Triangle Boulevard, Highland Longevity brings physician-led weight loss care right to your doorstep.

We designed our practice for busy families in growing communities like Haslet—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.

Haslet Tirzepatide FAQs
Highland Longevity is just 5 minutes from Alliance Town Center, located at 4801 Golden Triangle Blvd in the Fort Worth Alliance area. We're the closest physician-led weight loss clinic to Haslet, offering tirzepatide with DEXA body composition tracking.
Tirzepatide activates both GIP and GLP-1 receptors (dual agonist), while semaglutide only targets GLP-1. This dual action results in greater weight loss—up to 22.5% with tirzepatide vs. 15% with semaglutide in clinical trials. Tirzepatide is the most effective FDA-approved weight loss medication available.
It depends on your goals, medical history, and how much weight you need to lose. Some patients start with semaglutide and switch to tirzepatide if they plateau. Others go straight to tirzepatide for maximum effect. We'll help you decide based on your situation during your consultation.
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.
Coverage varies widely. Many insurers cover Mounjaro for diabetes but not Zepbound for weight loss. Some patients get coverage with prior authorization. We can help you navigate options including manufacturer savings programs. Our compounded tirzepatide starts at $199/month.
