16 • WATERLOO CHRONICLE • THURSDAY, MAY 4, 2017 BUSINESS WATERLOO CHRONICLEWATERLOO CHRONICLE By Bob Vrbanac Chronicle Sta� Corina Crysler had a decade-long career of proving that you are what you eat, and promoting the recuperative powers of taking in the proper nutrients. She co-founded the company Glisodin Skin Nutrients after meeting a representative of L'Oréal in Paris, who put her on the path to discovering the beauty outside from changing the body chem- istry within. It was a jet-setting career that took the trained clinical nutritionist and food chemist around the world. "I became super specialized in that area," said Crysler. "I learned what needed to go into these health products and looking at their safety, effi - cacy and how you mix certain things together. "It's about putting things together so you get the maximum benefi t." It also put her in touch with the latest trends in natural health when she visited places like Califor- nia and Vancouver -- like juicing. "I've juiced for years and did detoxes and studied Chinese medicine and a lot of natural modalities," said Crysler. "It kind of resonated with me about taking something full of nutrients that goes instantly into your body is one of the best things you can do for yourself. "It doesn't replace eating fruits or vegetables, but it's a boost, like taking a supplement." So when she decided to slow down and settle down a little, the Toronto native found a place in Elora and set out to explore the local countryside. Her fi rst stop was the Timeless Materials Co. on Northfi eld Drive and Timeless Bakery and Cafe located at the century old hen house on site that has built up a local following. While she fell in love with the charm of the place, it was the other beau- tiful old barn on site had her thinking that it would make for a great site for a new business. "I thought it was the most beautiful place I've ever seen," said Crysler. When she learned that it was available for lease, she jumped at the chance because it would be perfect for her new venture that combined all her passions, called Moonshine Juicery. "I had this concept in mind for three years, and when I came her for lunch one day and saw this barn was for lease I didn't even think about it," said Crysler. "� eses are the type of places people are drawn to and I want to create an amazing feel when I'm in my space." Th e Moonshine Juicery had a soft opening last Friday, but word of mouth grew quickly and she already has found an enthusiastic local customer base looking to combine the organic goodness of the local countryside in a new product line that can deliver health results. "� e local farming that is happening around this area is not only organic, it's biodynamic," said Crysler. "Th ey're doing things in an awesome way, and I'm working with the Sustainable Market to make sure I get a lot of my ingredients from local farmers as well." She's honed in on addressing infl ammation, and how it a� ects everything from aging to your skin and the internal organs like your heart. "It's the root cause to everything," said Crysler. "When you're on a more plant-based diet, especially when consuming juices, you create an alkaline environment in the body and that helps with infl ammation. "Th at all starts with what you're consuming on a daily basis." Th at's lead to special formulations and recipes that she's come up with that address things like your liver and your spleen, and tries to bring the body back into alignment. "People have introduced juices into their life- styles and it's made a diff erence in their infl am- matory pathways," said Crysler. "We cant stop the aging process, it's basically infl ammation taking over, and while we can't stop it, we want to control it and if you can do that, you're improving your quality of life signifi cantly." Th e operation is quite impressive with a built- in cooler leftover from a former fl orist who operat- ed on the site, while Crysler has brought in a cold- press juicer to get every ounce of goodness of the mostly vegetable-based products she's producing. Th ere's no preservatives used in that process, and freshness is the key. That's why she's also partnered with Eco Courier Kitchener-Waterloo, a bike delivery services that is 100 per cent emis- sions-free, to deliver her products to customers on a daily basis. Crysler said she know how busy everybody is and how hard it is for people to properly take care of themselves. � is is a services that is not only good for body, but also easy on the planet. Crysler plans to give back, including with lectures and upcoming workshops. Her official grand opening is May 27 and all the details will be available at www.moonshinejuicery.com. "The community here is amazing," said Crysler. "The support is great even from other business who have been so generous." Getting the juices � owing Moonshine Juicery opens its doors and promotes the bene� ts to natural health enthusiasts Corina Crysler, founder of Moonshine Juicery, opened the health focused business last Friday and is a big proponent of juicing.
