Today, we invite you to meet Shayda Soleymani and Gustavo Tolosa. These two friends are from vastly different cultures - Iran and Argentina - but what they have in common is this:  a shared love of their home country’s culture, food, and traditions.

They also share something else in common – successful health and weight loss journeys thanks to the power of a whole foods, plant-based diet. 

Shayda shares her Iranian culinary heritage and how she adapted traditional recipes, while Gustavo discusses his Argentine background and struggles with weight and mental health before finding whole food, plant-based nutrition.  

Together, they want to help you get your health back without sacrificing who you are or what you love with their book Live Your Healthiest Life, featuring over 135 SOS-free recipes (salt, oil, and sugar-free). 

 We know that family culture and tradition plays a HUGE role in our lives, and you don’t have to give that up in order to live your healthiest life.
