Introducing Amy!
Background: Hi everyone! I’m excited to have joined the team at Compass Chiropractic. I started out as a patient of Dr. Krohse back in 2008 and have been a loyal patient because of his great patient care. I’m a graduate of the University of Iowa with a BS in Health, Leisure, and Sport Studies with an emphasis in Health Promotion as well as being an American College of Sports Medicine Certified Health and Fitness Specialist- otherwise know as a personal trainer to most of you! Growing up I participated in many sports including gymnastics, martial arts, softball, and cheerleading to name a few and so sports and fitness has always been a huge part of my life. I was an All- Star Cheerleading and Tumbling coach here in the Des Moines area for over 10 years before my husband Joe and I recently had our baby girl Hattie in February of this year. We also have a “fur baby” Boxer named Reece.
Favorite aspect of working at Compass Chiropractic: I’m very excited to work with Dr. Krohse utilizing my education and passion for helping others live a healthy lifestyle and to get those in need back to feeling great!
What I enjoy outside of work: Outside of work I enjoy spending time with my family and friends as much as I can. I really enjoy traveling. With my love for fitness you can find me at the gym or out for a run quite often too.
How I give back to my community: I have done several runs that donate to local charities and community organizations and continue to do so. There’s nothing better than getting a good run in while helping out a charity/organization.
Words to live by: “Everything happens for a reason.” “Do what you love, love what you do."
Favorite local restaurant: This is a hard one…my husband Joe and I enjoy so many of the local restaurants, but lately you can find us at Jethro’s BBQ.
Something most patients don’t know about me: I lived in NYC for a semester in college for my internship at Equinox Fitness Clubs.
Congratulations to Garrett!
Garrett won $100 by getting the most patient votes in our "Compass Kids Silly, Goofy, Funky Face Contest." While we had so many stellar silly faces for people to vote on, Garrett's silly face pulled ahead for the win. Garrett's mom was excited to surprise him with a Cars comforter and bed set he's been dying to have. :)
Keep an eye out for this contest again next year as we had a blast taking pics and hearing patients chuckle at all the silly faces.
Sandy Recommends Microwaving Corn on the Cob in the Husks
I'm picky about my fresh sweet corn -- and don't especially like shucking the husks nor picking the silks off of the corn. I was thrilled last year to learn that simply microwaving the unshucked ear of corn, then cutting an inch off the bottom -- will result in the ear of corn sliding right out -- free of husks and silks. Below are a couple of links that demonstrate how best to accomplish this. Adjustments in cooking time may be needed depending on the wattage of your microwave.

Sheri Recommends Discovering Des Moines Bike Trails & Confluence Brewing Company
Years ago in my twenties, a bike was my only means of transportation. I rode it to & from work, to the downtown bars in Lincoln, NE, & to friends houses. Back then having a mountain bike was all the rage & my black Mt. Shasta was my pride & joy...until it was stolen.
I replaced it with a red Specialized Hard Rock that even through life changes and several moves, has always moved with me. (Even though I had stopped riding.) After 20 years, I took it out of the garage, dusted it off & took it in for maintenance care.
Now slowly over this past year I have been getting out and riding again. Discovering the great bike trails of Des Moines has been part of the fun, but the real allure is the incredible joy & freedom I feel while on the bike. A feeling I had forgotten for far too long! I am sure many of you who ride know what I am talking about. I imagine it is similar to the feeling people who ride motorcycles feel.
Anyway, my most recent ride took me for a short 10 mile round trip from Water Works Park to Mullets, to Confluence Brewing Company and around Gray’s Lake. Of course there was pizza & beer involved at Mullets! Confluence Brewing Company I spotted en route to Mullets and knew that a stop was going to have to be made on the way back to Water Works. What a wonderful find they ended up being! I went with their 4
pack
sampler for $6.50. Trying the Black IPA Thomas Beck, South Side Citra
Blonde, East Side Attitude Red Lager, & Barley & Me Pale Ale.
They were all wonderful hand-crafted beers with their own individual
distinctive tastes. My favorite was the East Side Attitude Red Lager, I
am a bit partial to red lagers. Barley & Me was also great and a
portion of the proceeds goes to the Iowa ARL. I cannot believe they
have been there for a year now and I never knew! Many restaurants and
bars in town serve their beers, as well as several Hy-Vee stores selling
it. You can go to their website to see the list.So get out there in this beautiful weather on a bike, feel the breeze in your hair and discover some great secrets of Des Moines!
Dr. Krohse Recommends Agri-Cultured Fermented Foods
Kombucha. Kimchi. Colony. Flora.
Have you heard these weird words from the crowd down at the Farmers Market this summer? Well they must have found their way to the Agri-Cultured Fermented Foods booth. You should make your way to their booth in the next couple weeks.
There you'll be able to try these great locally-made fermented foods in exciting flavors like "Raspberry Ginger Hibiscus Kombucha" and "Blueberry Passion Kombucha".
