Founder and CEO of OrganicLives, Preet Marwaha, contracted colitis as a result of his habitually poor eating habits. His youth and athleticism having previously kept him blissfully unaware of the lurking dietary dangers, he was suddenly and rudely awakened  to the profound effects that food choices have on all aspects of our health. And in that instance, both a personal renaissance and revolution were ignited.

Successfully defying his doctors by beating his disease and regaining his health solely through an organic food regimen, Preet spent the next fourteen years delving into deeper understandings of and experiences with the nutritional, chemical, physical, emotional, political, environmental, and socioeconomic dynamics of the human/food relationship.

A move to Vancouver in 2005 introduced Preet more closely to a growing trend in raw foods, however, his passion for cooking and excellent health at the time kept him from fully embracing the living foods lifestyle.   It wasn’t until three years later, when he agreed to embark with his wife on a two week living foods master cleanse, that his eyes (and tastes) were opened to the brilliance and limitless potential of raw foods.

OrganicLives is a direct response to Preet’s excitement and love for the evolving art and science of raw, organic foods.  That he considers the last eighteen months of his life, since his full conversion to living foods, to be equally as profound and beneficial as the entirety of the previous eighteen years, is testimony to the power of his convictions and to how much more this expanding medium has left to offer.
