Today’s guest is Amy Holmwood, founder of Holistic Spirits Co. Amy is a health and wellness entrepreneur and advocate of holistic health solutions. Holistic spirits combines science, nature, and artisanal distillation to create innovative spirits that elevate the palate and the planet.Inspired by personal experiences with health issues since her childhood, Amy began early on in her life to embrace healthy eating. When faced without an alternative drinking option that spoke to her health consciousness, Amy decided to create her own, and founded Origen Vodka, a gluten-free and non-GMO superfood vodka spirit. Amy comes by her passions honestly; her paternal Great Grandfather was a beer industry mogul who oversaw Canadian Breweries, Ltd, now under the Molson Coors umbrella, and her maternal Great Grandmother was the pioneering industrial engineer Lillian Gilbreth, who was known to say: “Be a genius at the art of living.”It’s not surprising then that Amy has adopted a fervent interest in pushing limits and contributing to disruptive innovation. When faced without an alternative drinking option that spoke to her health consciousness, she decided to create her own.Amy earned a BBA in International Business from George Washington University. She holds a Nutrition Science Certification from the Stanford Center for Health Education, and a Master’s Degree in Biotechnology Enterprise from John Hopkins University.Follow Holistic Spirits on social mediaWebsite: Holistic SpiritsInstagram: Origen Holistic SpiritsFacebook: Holistic Spirits CompanyYouTube: Holistic Spirits CompanySend us a textSupport the show
