Growing up in Northern California, I developed a passion for business at an early age. Truthfully, I’ve always been an entrepreneur at heart. In 2008, I was diagnosed with Lupus and became very sick. I was prediabetic, had gestational diabetes, and inflammation was attacking my body. I knew I had to make significant changes to my lifestyle. At the same time, I still wanted to enjoy fun foods with my kids and be part of our family’s Friday pizza night. So I set out to create a healthier alternative and invented a cauliflower pizza crust. That decision sparked a transformational health journey. I was able to come off steroids and Plaquenil, lost 48 pounds, and ultimately felt called to help others on their own wellness journeys. I later became certified as a life and health coach through Martha Beck. In 2015, I began selling my cauliflower pizza crust at our local farmers’ market with my kids. What started as a small family venture quickly grew. In January 2017, the product went viral and Cali’flour Foods was born. Then, in late 2019, I sold the majority of Cali’flour and became one of the top 1% of women business owners to exit a company with an 8-figure deal.

After selling the majority of Cali’flour Foods, Amy doubled down on her mission: to help people tap into the body’s innate ability to heal, thrive, and stay well. In 2023, she founded Beyond Medicine (BeMe) and launched what would become the foundation for her next chapter, Soursop Nutrition, alongside a powerhouse team and female-led investment group. What started as a focus on one of the world’s most powerful superfruits has since evolved into something much bigger. But after years of research, Amy uncovered a major gap: most supplements simply aren’t delivering what our bodies truly need. Today, that vision lives on as Livyond, a next-generation wellness brand rooted in cellular health, transparency, and bio- individuality, spanning both ingestible nutrition and skincare.

After spending years developing and refining formulations, Amy created products designed not just to taste good—but to create real, noticeable impact in the body. What began as Soursop Nutrition has now expanded into Livyond’s full wellness ecosystem, including cellular nutrition products and a rapidly growing skincare line designed to support the body both internally and externally. Because true health isn’t one-dimensional, it’s a system.
