Cardiologist Formulated

Created by Dr. Elizabeth Klodas, practicing cardiologist and founder of Step One Foods.

As a board-certified cardiologist, Dr. Klodas has spent decades treating patients with high cholesterol, high blood pressure, and heart disease. She built Step One Foods to help address the root cause of these conditions - nutrition — so that her patients could reduce their dependence on medications.

“I wanted to create something simple, effective, and evidence-based. Real food, with real impact.”

— Dr. Elizabeth Klodas, MD, FACC

How Does It Actually Lower Cholesterol?

Step One Foods works by addressing cholesterol at its source: the digestive system.

Each serving is packed with clinically proven nutrients that work together to sweep cholesterol out of your body before it can reach your bloodstream:

  • Plant sterols block cholesterol absorption during digestion
  • Soluble fiber traps and removes cholesterol-rich bile
  • Omega-3s support healthy blood fats and circulation
  • Antioxidants and polyphenols fight inflammation linked to heart disease

With just two servings a day, most people see real cholesterol improvements in as little as 30 days.

  • Cardiologist formulated
  • Supported by over 500 publications
  • Proven in a double-blind, randomized clinical trial with Mayo Clinic

With just two servings per day, Step One Foods offers a proven-effective way to naturally lower LDL (bad) cholesterol.

    Barbecue Puffs

    This is a new snack. I just ate one pack and the taste is pretty good. I like it much better than the bars. I will babe this a regular selection. They are crunchy with a barbeque taste and a good choice rather than the potato chips that I like to eat but shouldn't. I am happy to have these rather than the bars.

Frequently Asked Questions

Step One Foods products were developed by a cardiologist and have proven effective through a clinical trial subject to the same standards as a pharmaceutical clinical trial. Every serving of Step One Foods contains the precise levels of key nutrients proven to help lower cholesterol and improve cardiovascular health. Learn more about our clinical trial here.

Studies have shown that a change in diet can yield a significant impact on cholesterol levels in as little as 30 days. Effects on overall blood sugar control and weight will take longer.

No, if you are currently prescribed a statin by your physician, you should not discontinue it unless you consult with them. To most accurately assess how Step One Foods is impacting your cholesterol, you should take your statin in conjunction with Step One Foods twice per day. After 30 days of consistent use, you can test your cholesterol levels; if there is improvement (or even similar readings) you and your healthcare provider can discuss adjusting your prescription.

Step One Foods products are highly nutritious and very satisfying. High fiber content, complex carbohydrates and healthful fats ensure slow digestion and lower, steadier blood sugar levels, keeping you feeling fuller longer. Our foods are also meant to be used as a substitution for something you were eating before, which typically represents a calorie reduction and may lead to weight loss.  And nearly all Step One Foods contain minimal to no sodium. Studies have shown that when you reduce sodium consumption and increase the intake of antioxidants from fruits and vegetables, you can attain significant blood pressure reductions.

We want you to be happy with our products and your results. If you don't enjoy one or more of your choices, we will gladly provide you with an exchange or a refund. Our guarantee applies to first time orders, or up to one month's worth of food cost.
