Ritu Saluja-Sharma
Dr. Ritu Saluja-Sharma is a double board-certified emergency medicine and lifestyle medicine physician who spent two decades treating preventable illnesses in the ER before recognizing that the real crisis began long before patients arrived at the hospital. After witnessing families struggle with diabetes, obesity, and heart disease that could have been reversed years earlier, she shifted her career toward prevention-focused education. She founded Head Heart Hands, a nutrition and lifestyle wellness program now used by schools, corporations, and community organizations across the country. Dr. Saluja-Sharma is also the author of The Wonder of What We Eat, a science-based healthy living series that simplifies nutrition for everyday families. Her newest release, The Wonder of What We Eat Cookbook, translates complex nutrition science into practical, family-friendly habits. Through her work, she aims to give families the knowledge she wishes every patient had long before they reached the ER.
