9/13/13 - After a recent appearance before state lawmakers about possibly becoming a staple of Michigan schools, a Brighton-based fitness business is expanding its operation. The tool used by MyNutratek is a secure website where users enter their personal information like height, weight, age, and activity level to get a personalized report on their dietary, sleep, and hydration needs. Co-Founder Tim Codd says users can enter their eating and sleeping practices to get real-time information on how they can expect to perform physically and mentally, allowing students to reach a better fitness level and athletes to optimize their performance. The program is already in place in various portions of the Howell and Brighton school districts, and Codd announced to WHMI that it would soon be expanding to adult patients within the Priority Health Plans and the Oakwood Health System. Codd was recently before the House K-12 Appropriations Committee, chaired by local Representative Bill Rogers, to discuss the possibility of implementing this service in schools around the state. Codd says no firm promises or goals have been put in place on that front at this time. (TD)
