Full biography
Vijay K. Ahuja is an author, independent researcher, and speaker whose work brings more than 40 years of professional experience into conversation with food, the microbiome, and balanced wellness.
He earned a Bachelor of Science from Bombay University in 1984, began his career in financial services, and founded R-Tech Consultants, Inc. in 1987, where he is Principal and Senior Consultant advising employers and professionals on the design, administration, and compliance of qualified retirement plans. He holds the CFP®, CPC, QPA, QKA, and ERPA designations.
A 25-year personal health journey changed the questions he wanted to ask. In February 2024 he began an intensive independent study of food, traditional dietary practices, and the microbiome. That work led to BalanceMyBiome™ and its imprint, BalanceMyBiome Publishing, which in 2026 published The Awakening: Reclaiming Life Through Balance and Wellness in Balance: Harmony with Nature, followed by To Sprout or Not, To Ferment or Not to Ferment, and The Living Microbiome as ebooks. He is also the founder of R-Tech Ventures LLC and a principal at Golden Tiger Life.
In October 2026 he spoke twice at the BAPS Charities Healthcare Professionals Conference: “The Body Is Not Broken. It Is Communicating.” and, with Dr. Dhaval Shah, “Financial Freedom for Healthcare Providers.” Spirituality and seva, or selfless service, give his work its purpose.
