A maestro of both music and health, Gustavo Tolosa is a force of passion and purpose. With a doctorate in piano performance from the Eastman School of Music and a global concert résumé, he captivates audiences with the keys—but his influence doesn’t stop there.

After a stunning personal health transformation, he became a devoted advocate for whole-food, plant-based living. Gustavo cofounded his website, Plantemus, and created The Power of Us: 7-Day Detox & ReSet program, leading a movement fueled by real food, real support, and real results.

He is also the coauthor of the international plant-based recipe and storytelling book, Live Your Healthiest Life!, cowritten with Shayda Soleymani. Together, they crafted a one-of-a-kind collection that blends powerful personal stories of struggle and triumph with vibrant, family-rooted recipes from Persian and Argentine traditions as well as American, Italian, German and Spanish dishes.

Whether coaching pianists on piano technique or coaching people to break free from the grip of processed food addiction, Gustavo makes excellence accessible—always with a warm heart, a brilliant mind, and a contagious spark of creativity.
