Dr. Ritu Saluja-Sharma, MD is a double-board–certified physician in Emergency Medicine and Lifestyle Medicine, and the visionary founder of Head Heart Hands ( https://www.headhearthandsmd.com/ ), a comprehensive, holistic wellness program for individuals and organizations.

Dr.  Saluja-Sharma earned her M.D. from Wake Forest University School of Medicine and completed her undergraduate studies at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. 

For over 15 years, Dr. Saluja-Sharma has worked on the front lines in hospital emergency departments in the Washington, D.C. area, confronting firsthand the chronic and lifestyle-driven illnesses that plaque a large portion of our population and lead to many of the acute emergencies she saw in the ER.

Driven by the belief that many conditions she treated in the ER could have been prevented, she created Head Heart Hands to offer science-based coaching, corporate wellness programs, and engaging family-friendly resources. 

Her latest work, The Wonder of What We Eat Cookbook / Workbook series ( https://www.amazon.com/stores/author/B0FPMLYSYB/allbooks?ingress=0&visitId=71acc446-4655-42d6-908b-da16920d4108&ref_=ap_rdr ) , co-created with her children, focuses on the pediatric obesity epidemic and brings more than 75 kid-friendly, nourishing recipes to life, grounded in her teaching framework that connects Head (knowledge), Heart (mindset), and Hands (practical skills).

Dr. Saluja-Sharma’s work stands at the intersection of acute care and long-term prevention. She’s passionate about shifting healthcare from reaction to resilience—helping individuals and communities thrive, not just survive.
