The Wellness Triple Threat

From Meds to Metabolism to Movement, James Montgomery’s Business Trio Brings the Full Power of Wellness to Dripping Springs

A Dripping Springs resident since 2011, entrepreneur James Montgomery has always been interested in health and wellness. With degrees in chemistry and biology, a passion for fitness, and a pharmacy background, he has translated that interest into a community-wide ecosystem of health services: Solutions Pharmacy, Dripping IV Solutions, and Rumble Boxing Dripping Springs.

“Wellness, overall, is about improving your body—building your health—and we offer different avenues to achieve that and feel your best,” Montgomery says. Each of his businesses serves its own purpose, yet they work together to support individuals on their health journey, offering accessible, personalized care, with a bit of fun, too.

Solutions Pharmacy

After many years in the pharmacy industry, Montgomery opened Solutions Pharmacy in 2013. It offers everything a traditional pharmacy does, along with a level of personal service that’s increasingly rare.

As a locally owned pharmacy, “We know you when you walk in,” Montgomery says. “We probably even know what Drip team your kid plays on.” And Solutions pharmacists go beyond filling prescription bottles. “Our pharmacists are like counselors,” he shares. “We want to hear about your problems and then we can give you solutions.”

Those solutions aren’t always medication. “We try to address health through nutrition and the whole body rather than just taking a pill,” he explains. “We can talk to you about sleep, what you’re eating, lifestyle changes—things you can control outside of drugs. We can help you see the bigger picture.”

To support this vision, Montgomery is developing an appointment-based pharmacy model, allowing customers to meet one-on-one with a pharmacist like Solutions’ Rob Crosby, R.Ph. With more than 35 years in pharmacy and certification as a wellness coach, Crosby blends pharmaceutical expertise with holistic guidance. Whether reviewing supplements, creating nutrition plans, or helping patients understand their medications, his approach is clear, compassionate, and practical.

As a compounding pharmacy, Solutions can also customize medications that are typically mass-produced, offering patient-specific strengths, flavors, and formulations. These include compounded medications for men and women’s hormone replacement therapy (HRT), pain management, dermatology (including Kligman’s formula’s, dental, anti-infectives, (ENT and podiatry), pediatrics, and even medications for your pets. 

Montgomery is particularly excited about new needle-free wellness options, specifically sublingual (under-the-tongue) versions of progesterone, testosterone, Semaglutide/Tirzepatide blends, Sermorelin, NAD+, and more, designed for better absorption and effectiveness.

Solutions Pharmacy also boasts a Fullscipt online supplement store offering more than 20,000 professional-grade products delivered directly to patients’ homes.

Dripping IV Solutions

Building on Solutions Pharmacy, Montgomery expanded his wellness vision with Dripping IV Solutions. He explains, “Dripping IV is a modern clinic where people come to feel better quickly and rebuild their health from the inside out. It’s fast, impactful, and tailored to the individual.”

Through intravenous (IV) therapy—available both in clinic and at home—patients receive hydration, nutrients, immunity support, recovery blends, and metabolic optimization. Dripping IV also offers boosters, including B-12, B-Complex, Glutathione, NAD+, Vitamin D, Magnesium, Biotin, Tri-Immune, CoQ10, Zinc, and Lipo/MIC-B12. These powerful injections can help with detox, skin glow, immunity, energy, stress, muscle recovery, cognitive health, and more—all in a matter of minutes.

Additionally, the clinic provides mobile IV therapy for weddings, retreats, and corporate gatherings, as well as IV sessions designed for athletes. As the father of two student athletes—James III, a DSHS senior football player, and Noah, a sophomore soccer player—Montgomery is proud to support local sports, both through this service and through sponsorships of several Dripping Springs teams. His Recovery and Performance IV, packed with B vitamins for energy and magnesium to prevent cramping, is especially helpful for young athletes competing in the Texas heat.

Beyond IV therapies, Dripping IV has evolved into a comprehensive weight-loss center, offering GLP-1 support, peptide therapy, skinny shots, and BodySculpt EMS muscle activation. BodySculpt uses fat-reducing lasers and electromagnetic stimulation to deliver 30,000 muscle contractions in just 30 minutes, helping to burn fat, build muscle, and support GLP-1 patients in preserving lean mass. “These targeted treatments can really help accelerate progress and help people feel their best,” Montgomery says.

To facilitate these care options, Dripping IV offers in-person visits as well as a full telehealth platform whereby consultations, lab reviews, and follow-ups can be handled virtually. Montgomery is especially energized by how this platform streamlines his hormone optimization program: After an assessment, a dedicated nurse practitioner reviews blood work and designs a personalized HRT plan that, along with any other prescription medications, can be fulfilled through Solutions Pharmacy. “In a matter of a week, you can start getting your hormones on track,” Montgomery says.

Rumble Boxing

With his background in health and a passion for fitness, Montgomery naturally expanded to high-energy workouts. In 2024, he opened Rumble Boxing, a dynamic boxing studio offering classes for kids, adults, beginners, and seasoned athletes.

Rumble sessions combine high-intensity interval training (HIIT) and boxing: “You get your strength training with the HIIT, and you get cardio from the boxing,” Montgomery explains. “It works muscles you don’t typically work in cardio; it’s a total-body workout.”

Rumble’s dimly lit studio comes alive with vibrant, party-like lighting, high-energy music, and enthusiastic instructors who keep the classes lively. “The environment is fun,” Montgomery says. “People love putting on boxing gloves and just hitting something. It’s an efficient workout, a good stress reliever; it’s ultimately just a great experience.”

To make investing in wellness easier and more affordable, Rumble accepts HSA (Health Savings Account) and FSA (Flexible Spending Account) cards.

Punch, Drip, Heal

Montgomery’s three businesses—Solutions Pharmacy, Dripping IV, and Rumble Boxing—come together to create a well-rounded approach to health and wellness that prioritizes individualized care and exceptional service. With targeted medicine, transformative therapies, and training that packs a punch, this coordinated network covers every corner of personal health.

Keep Dripping Springs Healthy

The newest piece of Montgomery’s vision is Keep Dripping Springs Healthy (KDSH), a collaborative platform designed to highlight and support local wellness-focused businesses. KDSH connects partners through shared social media, community events, educational content, and cross-promotions, giving residents a trusted place to discover services.

KDSH is also launching a community prescription savings card—similar to GoodRx but local—available online and at participating businesses. @keepdshealthy
