Being healthy is so much more than treating individual symptoms. At Redline Compounding Pharmacy, we take a functional medicine approach that looks at your body as a unified system and addresses the root causes, not just the surface.
If the medications or protocols you have tried have not given you the results you were hoping for, you are not alone, and you are not out of options. At Redline, we take a broader look at what is happening with your body, your hormones, your nutrition, and your overall health picture. Then we work collaboratively with you and your prescriber to build a plan that goes beyond symptom management and actually addresses what is driving the problem.
Many chronic symptoms, especially hormone-related ones, have underlying causes that standard approaches do not fully capture. Hormonal shifts, nutrient deficiencies, gut dysfunction, and lifestyle factors all play a role, and they rarely show up clearly on a routine lab panel.Â
Through a functional medicine lens, our pharmacists help identify the physiological and environmental factors contributing to how you feel, then work with your provider on integrative therapies tailored to your specific situation. The goal is not to manage your symptoms indefinitely, it is to help you actually get better.

âAt my heaviest, I was 287 lbs. I started making changes back in 2014. In one summer I started running and just eating less. I dropped down to 235 in one summer on my own. This wasnât sustainable though. I bounced back and forth up and down for a few years.
I started my Ideal Protein process back at the beginning of July 2019. I weighed in at 261 pounds. My original goal was to get to 220 pounds. I also told Courtney that I would be training for a marathon throughout the time that I would be working with her. She was great in adjusting and helping me meet my needs throughout that summer. It wasnât long and I had already hit my 220 pound goal, so I told her that I wanted to keep going to 200 pounds.
On November 1st of 2019 I weighed in at 199.8 pounds. Courtney was fantastic to work with. The program is strict but simple to follow. I now check in with Courtney on a weekly basis just to see how I am doing, and I will continue to meet with her for as long as I can.
I would recommend Courtney and Ideal Protein to anyone who has ever struggled losing weight. I couldnât be happier with my result and how I look today.ââ â Ryan Ambrose

âMy IP journey started in June 2019. My husband Joseph, and I had been trying to start our family for over a year. Since January 2019 we had been working with a fertility specialist in Omaha on pinpointing the source of our struggle. On June 20, 2019 I had an Outpatient Laparoscopy that showed moderate to severe PCOS (polycystic ovarian syndrome) meaning I had a long history of not ovulating which had caused irregular cycles and my ovaries to be much larger in size. The next step in my journey was to be a surgery called an Ovarian Wedge Resection, a corrective measure that would restore the ovaries to appropriate size and functionality.
Unfortunately, my doctor and anesthesiologist had concerns about the next surgery due to my weight. I struggled to breathe during the Laparoscopy due to my weight. The next surgery was to be much more invasive and a longer procedure. When my fertility doctor explained the issue to my husband and I, I felt very emotional and hopeless as previous attempts with weight loss had fallen short. The doctor wouldnât schedule my Ovarian Wedge Resection until I had lost at least 20 pounds. I was really hoping to have the surgery done within the same year for insurance purposes. She gave me a list of potential weight loss programs that previous patients with PCOS had found successful. The Ideal Protein protocol was on the list and I had heard multiple local success stories out of the Redline Pharmacy in my home town of Hastings.
I stopped into Redline for information and was greeted by Coach Courtney. She was very welcoming and upbeat about the program. I took some information home and talked it over with Joseph. We knew our âWhyâ and so decided to enroll me in the program. I saw Courtney every week, taking measurements, stocking up on food, and going over my sometimes-completed food journal. Courtney covered my journal in stickers and motivational words to help keep me on track. I started the new protocol July 1st and by mid-August had reached my initial 20 pound surgery weight loss goal. I called to schedule my Ovarian Wedge Resection for September 3rd. I remember how excited and proud I was to make that call.
By the time surgery came around, I had doubled the weight loss and felt much more at ease about anesthesia. The surgery was a success and the doctor was very impressed with my progress.
By December, only five months into the program, I was celebrating 70 pounds gone! On December 8, I took a home pregnancy test that confirmed we were finally going to be parents. In late July 2020, we welcomed our sweet peanut into this world.
I am overwhelmed with the success of our journey and credit much of it to the Ideal Protein program, Redline Pharmacy, and the amazing coaches Courtney and Tammy. The program, as with any major lifestyle change, is difficult at the beginning. That is what makes the weekly check ins so important to long term success. Support from family, friends, and coworkers is also vital to success.
Redline, thank you for bringing this program to Hastings and for empowering our community toward better health through the program and coaches.â â Jenny Pittz

âI decided to begin my journey with Ideal Protein when I was in the largest size pants I have ever worn, and they were becoming too tightâŚ.I was NOT going to buy a bigger size. One of my friends had done IP and had amazing results, so I thought Iâd give it a shot.
A friend and I went together for the first meeting and committed to follow the program. I loved it because I needed someone to tell me what I can and canât eat. It made it simple, rather than trying to find and figure out recipes, calorie counting, point counting, etc.Â
The results were steady and Iâm now maintaining on phase 4. I donât crave sugar or carbs like I use to and I have totally internalized a new way of life, new way of eating and feel so much more confident today with the changes in my life.â      â Tara Schroeder
