Why Do I Keep Falling Off the Wagon?

You do not need to start over. You only need to make your next meal simpler. There is no need to repair the past. Simply take care of the next meal. And make that meal incredibly simple. This is what I teach in my 7-Day Reboot & ReSet Program. You are invited to attend my next program which focuses on The Starch Solution.

It's been so rewarding to watch people over the lat 4 years of doing the 7-Day Program "The Power of Us" lose weight, develop a sense of community, learn to prepare simple meals and finally understanding how "emotional eating" and cravings work. Sometimes we just need to invest a little amount of money and time in our health and know that we are not alone in this journey. You still have time to join my upcoming Reboot and ReSet Program that starts this coming Wednesday, July 8th! Use this link to join https://gustavo.fsminstitute.org/reboot

🇺🇸 Happy 4th of July, everyone!

Today we celebrate freedom, and it reminds me that perhaps the greatest freedom of all is the freedom to take care of our health—one choice, one meal, and one day at a time.

Enjoy today. Celebrate with the people you love. If your meals aren't "perfect," don't worry. Tomorrow is another opportunity, and every healthy choice counts.

And if this holiday has you thinking, "It's time for me to get back on track," I'd be honored to guide you. My 7-Day Reboot & ReSet Experience begins this Wednesday, July 8th, and there are still a few days left to join us. Together we'll enjoy simple, delicious, whole-food, plant-based, SOS-free meals and plenty of encouragement in a warm, supportive community.

Remember... it's not about perfection. It's about direction.

Today I'd like to personally invite you to **two very special events** that are close to my heart.

# # 🎹 Invitation #1 – An Evening of Music with a Purpose

On Saturday, July 11, I'll be performing a very special concert called "Keys to the Future – Open Doors Through Music."

Although the concert will take place in Irving, Texas, you can join us from anywhere in the world via livestream!

This is a benefit concert supporting P.E.O., a remarkable nonprofit organization that has been helping women pursue higher education through scholarships, grants, awards, and loans for more than 150 years.

I'll be joined by wonderful soprano Jacquelyn Lengfelder, with a special guest appearance by Joshua Lengfelder, for an evening of beautiful classical music, Argentine tango, opera, Broadway favorites, and a few musical surprises.

If you enjoy live music—or simply would like to support a cause that changes lives—I would be honored to have you join us online.

For tickets or more information, simply email:

# # 🌱 Invitation #2 – Our Next 7-Day Reboot & ReSet Program

Just a few days earlier, on July 8–14, we begin what I believe may be one of our most exciting programs yet:

Beauty & The Feast – Special Edition

This is the same 7-Day Reboot & ReSet Program that so many participants have enjoyed over the past four years—with its simple meals, live interaction, cooking demonstrations, beautiful handouts, practical support, and encouraging community.

This time, my friend and colleague Katherine Lawrence joins me for several special sessions exploring foods that support healthy aging, vitality, glowing skin, reduced inflammation, and overall well-being.

If you've been thinking,

"I'd like to get back on track..."

perhaps this is your moment.

Whether through music or health, my hope has always been the same:

To encourage, inspire, and help people live richer, healthier, and more meaningful lives.

Thank you for allowing me to be part of your journey.

I hope to see you online at one—or perhaps both—of these special events!

Meet Dr. Gustavo Tolosa.

Gustavo has been running his whole-food, plant-based programs for years, helping people heal through food, rebuild their relationship with eating, and develop the kind of mindset that makes healthy living stick long after the program ends.

His mission and Katherine's have always pointed in the same direction. Both believe in the healing power of food. Both believe that lifestyle is medicine. So it only made sense that these two would work together.

This July, Katherine and Gustavo are partnering to bring back his extremely popular 7-Day reboot program, and this time with a special twist. Katherine is bringing her Beauty and the Feast class into the mix, diving into the foods that fight aging, boost collagen production, and support vibrant, healthy skin from the inside out.

Seven days. Fourteen live sessions. One focused program for health, healing, and healthy aging.
July 8-14. Learn more here: https://vist.ly/598ze
