My colleague's body is amazing:
- She's comfortable wearing sleeveless clothing while the rest of us are shivering in jumpers
- She can travel halfway around the world for two weeks, then come back and work the full workday immediately with no visible sign of jet lag
- She gets away with eating chocolate for lunch (!)
Her body is so amazing I'm envious.
The problem is, by saying "my colleague's body is amazing" I'm sure many will interpret the statement as saying my colleague is sexy/physically attractive. How can I convey my meaning without that implication?

There's not really any way to completely eliminate an implication of sexual attractiveness. Probably the best you can say is something like "she's in amazing physical condition".

Don't focus on her body.
Instead, say something like this:
I am envious of my colleague's constitution.
I wish I had my colleague's metabolism.
Both of the following definitions come from Merriam-Webster.
Constitution:
2 a : the physical makeup of the individual especially with respect to the health, strength, and appearance of the body
// a hearty constitution
Metabolism:
b : the sum of the processes by which a particular substance is handled in the living body
Or, if you do focus on her body, don't make it sound as if you're talking about her appearance.
You could instead say something like this:
I wish my body handled adverse conditions as well as my colleague's does.
Or simply:
I wish I had my colleague's health.
