Friday, July 20, 2018 7 Brooklin Town Crier For more information about this feature contact the Brooklin Town Crier at 905.655.7642 Meet Your Local Merchant Keto//OS Julie Enns was a nationally ranked NCAA/Canadian college tennis player working in Toronto's corporate world when her young son was diagnosed with an illness that kept him in Sick Kids hospital for months. The experience spoke to her and her husband about needing a change. That came in April when they moved to Brooklin. "As a former athlete, I wanted to be committed to helping other athletes," she says. "But it had to be a product I believed in." The product is Keto//OS, a ketone fuel source that purports to assist with appetite suppression (and weight loss), increased mental focus, and strength gain, among other attributes. She sells the supplement from her home and states that sales have been going quite well. "People would fuel on glucose which is carbs and sugar which is fat," she adds. "You had to starve yourself or follow a crazy diet to burn off all your glucose in order to start using fat for fuel. Once you are using fat for fuel, the body breaks that down and creates ketones. Fat and ketones are a more efficient and better fuel source! If ketones are present, your brain absolutely prefers them first. And your organs. For the first time ever with a ketone supplement, you can have ketones in the presence of glucose. That means that your brain and heart get the ketones and your muscles get the glucose. Once you have the ketones in your system, that's where the better energy, the better focus, the better sleep, the better workouts, the fat burning, the appetite suppression all come into play."

It's an appropriate theme for Matt Robinson who, as a general contractor, decided about six months ago to expand on what had been tinkering around the house to a business. He and his wife have teamed up to offer goods they make from scratch. His father was a master woodworker who taught him the craft. The fledgling business has already made its mark with an active Facebook presence, vendor sales, and an early mark in Durham Region where deliveries are beginning to take hold. He promises a website is "in the works."

However, they only had women's tee shirts to sell with nothing for the boys. Like all good ideas that need a kick, she decided to get into tee shirt sales. It was an immediate success. These days, her venture has branched out to produce a number of other products, though printing on tee shirts remains a staple. Her biggest challenge, she says, is trying to keep up with the changes in software and technology to enable printing on garments or objects like mugs. Her facebook page and, as with so many, word-of-mouth reviews have provided her with plenty of business to date. Terri Cuenca 905-626-4443 www.facebook.com/sketchitstitchit sketchitstitchit@gmail.com
