Her Story
A Passion Born at 17.
Amy Venner began her health career at just 17 years old, working at a health food store in Rockwall, TX. No one knew at the time that her passion for helping others would flourish into a 25+ year endeavor centered around whole food nutrition.
As a teenager and young adult, Amy struggled with persistent acne. Being a teenager is hard enough, and not feeling confident in her own skin added to the normal complications and emotions of becoming an adult. This led her to pass on opportunities that could have taken her further — until one encounter changed everything.
At a health food store event, Amy was "carefronted" by a stranger who would become Purium's Co-founder, Dave Sandoval. Carefrontation is the act of confronting with care and compassion — making someone uncomfortable for just a moment to give the possibility of changing their life forever.
"When you don't know what you don't know, how are you able to make the best decisions for yourself?" Amy Venner
The Philosophy
The Quality of the Food You Eat Is Equal to the Quality of Life You Live.
When Amy applied this food philosophy — still upheld at Purium today — to her diet alongside the whole food nutrition Purium is known for, amazing changes occurred. Not only did her skin clear up, but her confidence skyrocketed, which amplified her ability to make an impact on others.
Amy constructed her platform on the understanding that the power of organic whole food nutrition should be available to everyone — no matter where they live or how much time they have.
Amy and Dave shared a unified belief that raw, organic foods should be both accessible and affordable for everyone, in a way that is sustainable and conscious to Mother Earth.
Amy strongly believes in providing products that allow people to not just survive but truly thrive in life — a line representatives could be proud to recommend to their own community.
Building Purium
From a Small Space to 40,000 Square Feet.
Amy moved to Long Beach, CA and teamed up with Dave and a budding manufacturing company to oversee operations for a business that would evolve into Purium — transforming their shared vision into reality.
With only a small space and a few products to start, Dave and Amy hand-selected organic farmers to help produce pure and premium superfoods.
Since their early days, they've grown Purium into a 40,000 square foot, fully-automated manufacturing facility with over 100 employees and 60 packs and products.
From implementing new technologies to obtaining high-standard manufacturing certifications, Amy applies a hands-on management approach leading the team at Purium's corporate office.
The two wanted Purium to not just change the way people eat but change the way people live — spreading economic freedom and plant-based wellness through their business model and products.
"If we are not our personal best, how can we truly 'be there' for all of the people and responsibilities in our lives? Purium's product plans make it easy to prioritize your health without disrupting your whole day. Take that first step. Love yourself better — and you will be able to love others better too."Amy Venner, Purium Co-founder & President
Beyond Purium
The Million Mom Movement.
A mother of two daughters, Amy became inspired to spread her passion for superfood nutrition even further and founded the Million Mom Movement — an organization committed to empowering women, mothers, and families to live a life of health, happiness, and prosperity.
The Million Mom Movement is committed to building a community that shares Amy's vision of providing clean, green, organic, and non-GMO foods to families everywhere.
The organization supports a scholarship program to further empower women and help them reach leadership positions both in business and socially.
The goal is to become a million strong — a community united around the belief that taking care of yourself is how you show up fully for everyone else.
"It can be challenging to take care of ourselves in the midst of daily chaos. We get so busy taking care of everyone else that we forget about the most important person — until we burn out." Amy Venner
