Dr Rajiv Sharma, also lovingly referred to as "Dr. Rajiv", was born and raised in Punjab, India. By growing up in an agricultural community, fresh and homemade "farm to table" sustenance was all he knew. He learned early on the appreciation of nutritious food. Deep knowledge and a passion for healthy living and health food selection were instilled in him by virtue of his upbringing. He grew up drinking fresh milk, enjoying mangoes & mulberries on his family farm in Northern India. His father used to put 5 Almonds in his school shirt pocket so that he can snack on almonds instead of candy. He learned from his parents, that "You can only have a healthy mind if you have a healthy body". His interest in "Good Healthy Clean Food" piqued from the science of digestion that eventually led him to pursue Gastroenterology training. He met his wife in Northern India when she was visiting her grandparents who lived in a quaint village located at the foothills of the Himalayas.
