Built by Someone Who Lived It

Ascent Trim & Wellness was founded by Don Murray—entrepreneur, father, and someone who’s spent decades battling weight through three surgeries, countless diets, and the daily prison of living in a body that never felt like home. When he discovered GLP-1 therapy, everything changed. Now, he’s bringing the absolute best compounds, coaching, and care to Colorado Springs.

Why I Built Ascent Trim & Wellness

I’ve Had Three Weight Loss Surgeries

First, the Swedish Adjustable Gastric Band (SAGB). Then the removal when it failed. Then a full gastric bypass.

Each time, I thought: “This is it. This is the answer.”

And each time, the weight came back. Not because I didn’t try. Not because I lacked willpower. But because my body—my hunger, my metabolism, my relationship with food—was working against me.

Here’s what nobody tells you about living with obesity: You’re trapped. You’re heavy. You’re unhealthy. You KNOW it. But you’re still hungry. You can’t just “stop eating.”

Imagine telling a heroin addict: “You need SOME heroin every day, or you’ll die.” The option to go cold turkey doesn’t exist with food. You have to face your addiction—your struggle—three times a day, every single day, for the rest of your life.

That’s the prison. And I lived in it for decades.

Then I Discovered GLP-1 Therapy

When I first heard about these game-changing compounds—Semaglutide, Tirzepatide—I couldn’t wait to deliver the absolute BEST forms of these medicines to patients who really need it.

For the first time in my life, I wasn’t fighting my body. I was working WITH it. These powerful compounds—made naturally in the body—gave me a TRUE leg up.

But here’s what I learned: the medication alone isn’t enough. You need the RIGHT compounds (not the cheapest). You need a doctor who understands metabolic health. You need coaches who get it. You need a plan that treats you like a human being, not a number.

When I moved to Colorado Springs, I didn’t “find” this kind of care. I suffered in the pain of failure and body weight set points. I knew there had to be a better way.

So I built it.

What Makes Ascent Trim Different

Most of the “shot box” clinics are all about lowest-cost meds for maximum profits. Some only focus on shot costs. They don’t care if you succeed—they just want your subscription.

That’s not us.

At Ascent Trim & Wellness, we’ve built an entire ecosystem around THE PATIENT. Around what actually works for humans who are still required to eat the food, but need to change their relationship with it.

  • The BEST Compounding Pharmacies — We have brought in the VERY best compounding pharmacies to ensure the most powerful and effective medicines with the least side effects. Not the cheapest. The best.
  • Board-Certified Medical Oversight — Dr. Anjmun Sharma, MD, leads our medical team. Every patient gets a real evaluation, real monitoring, and real adjustments based on how YOUR body responds.
  • The BEST Coaches — People who understand the psychology of weight loss, not just the science. They’ll help you rebuild your relationship with food, one week at a time.
  • The BEST Supplements & Treatments — EMS sculpting, RF skin firming, red light therapy, AI body scanning. We’re not just helping you lose weight—we’re helping you maximize the whole Ascent Trim Package.

This isn’t a “shot clinic.” It’s a complete transformation system.

Nobody Understands the Prison Like I Do

If you’ve been where I’ve been—frustrated, exhausted, ashamed, ready to give up—I want you to know: there IS a way out.

You’re not broken. You’re not weak. You’re fighting a battle that most people will never understand.

But I do. And so does our team.

We’re here to give you the tools, the medicine, the support, and the hope you need to finally win this fight.

Your climb starts here. And we’re climbing with you.
