We are excited to announce that CrossFit Intuition is opening soon in Saginaw! I've made it my mission to make the Great Lakes Bay a healthier place, and this helps support my goal.
Located in Gratiot Place, the same plaza as Kehres Health and Chiropractic Saginaw location it will be open June 2014.
I will am opening CrossFit Intuition in Saginaw with Kevin Fisk, a certified CrossFit trainer and Saginaw native.

Using healthy and safe products in our home has always been a priority for us, especially now that we have a daughter.
Children, especially newborns, are more vulnerable to toxins and chemicals than adults are. Their immune systems and nervous systems are still developing, meaning they are not very good at processing and eliminating toxins yet. By decreasing a child's exposure to chemicals, it can help protect them from illness and allergies.
Unfortunately, many skin care products such as diaper cream contains parabens, fragrance (a variety of chemicals can hide under this broad label, and babies smell good enough, they don't need fragrance!) and phthalates.
When looking at bath and body products, I visit the Environmental Working Group's Skin Deep database for more information.
The Honest Company carries a lot of great, all-natural products that have very good, low ratings. We've been using the healing balm on Delaney if she has a bit of diaper rash or when her skin was really dry when she was a newborn. It can also be used on adults for dry skin or ezcema.
The Honest Company products are available at Kehres Health & Chiropractic in our Saginaw chiropractic office and Midland chiropractic office. Contact us at 989-607-4322 or visit our website www.kehreshealth.com.
Jeff Janis, Kehres Health & Chiropractic intern, was drafted by the Green Bay Packers! I can't wait to watch him in action this season! Nobody deserves this opportunity more than him.

Kehres Health & Chiropractic has three health classes coming up this week!
Tomorrow I'm at a local elementary school for Kids Run the Nation - Saginaw.
Tuesday will be at the Kehres Health & Chiropractic office for Grains: The Real Truth at 6:30 PM.

I love teaching to the Kids Run the Nation - Saginaw groups! Today I was at Handley Elementary School teaching about nutrition.
I started running with groups like this at a very young age as well so I know the impact it can have on their future!
Motion is critical for life and is required for the function of every organ and cell in our bodies.
When joints in our bodies are restricted and not moving properly they
send pain signals (nociceptors) to our brain. This is a warning signal that something is going wrong in that area of your body. The warning signals start way before you can actually feel pain.
When you get proper joint motion back into those joints, our bodies
have anti-inflammatory signals called mechanoreceptors that inhibit and
over shadow the pain signals. These receptors are also a required
nutrient for brain function and communication with the body.
Chiropractors focus on getting proper motion back into joints, not only
can this reduce your pain, but it can prevent further damage to that
joint.
See a chiropractor to keep your joints moving and your nerves functioning properly!

Many people talk about
how they never "got the opportunity," to do something in life but in
most cases it's not just something that comes to you. You need to go out
and create your own opportunities.
Opportunity does not come to people sitting on the couch watching TV every night.
It comes to those who are out looking for it... the athlete who trains
hard in the off season. The kid walking around the neighborhood with a
shovel every time it snows. The employee that works an extra hour off
the clock to finish a project. The person who takes the time to make
their health a priority.
It could take two months or 20 years, but opportunity will come when you are out looking for it.
