One cardiologist's mission to reduce statin use for high cholesterol
High cholesterol? Here’s a pill. High blood pressure? Here’s two pills. High blood sugar? Here’s two pills and an injection. This is what many doctors routinely do without ever addressing why the cholesterol, blood pressure or blood sugar is abnormal in the first place..
I used to practice this way until I realized that all I was doing was covering up the downstream effects of poor diet with a bunch of drugs, instead of changing the food.

5 reasons why people choose Step One Foods instead of more drugs:

After a month it was time for my lab work. My doctor noted that my cholesterol looked really good. Made a believer out of me! I am telling everyone.
2) Statins block the body’s ability to make more cholesterol. Step One blocks the body from absorbing it in the first place.
Step One Foods are clinically formulated to block cholesterol absorption and reabsorption in the digestive system, actively reducing the amount of cholesterol in the bloodstream.

Step One Foods are an easy way to lower cholesterol while avoiding unpleasant statin side effects
Some people are unable or unwilling to take statins due to side effects such as muscle pain, liver function abnormalities or changes in cognitive function. Step One Foods can lower cholesterol and improve your cardiovascular health- without an overreliance on medication.

My LDL improved by more than 80 points. I'm a physician and I did not believe it was possible, so I tested my cholesterol at two other facilities. The tests confirmed the results were real and I was thrilled.

My cholesterol numbers have for the most part been decent over the years but my numbers have optimized more with these. My Total Cholesterol was 174. HDL was 45, and LDL was 88. I am 65 years old and I am not on any medications.

I am very impressed with how good these taste, because I was wary that science based nutrition usually equates to sawdust tasting food stuffs.
I did have 2 questions on 2 separate occasions and the CS humans were quick to respond, but not just a quick answer, a detailed answer. Really impressed with both product and company. Good stuff.

Delicious with great results. The combination of starting a low dose statin and Step One Foods led my cholesterol level to plummet from 265 to 135 in six weeks!
- JBJeffrey B.Verified BuyerReviewing30-Day Starter PackI recommend this productRated 5 out of 5 stars2 years agoDid the trick nicely
First and foremost, my LDL and total cholesterol have dropped immensely inside of the month I have been using Step One Foods. My blood lipids are where they should be now, and it's been years since I could say that. While very important, weight loss and exercise alone were not enough to achieve this. Secondly, the starter pack help me find which foods I prefer. I've placed my second order and am looking to forward to continued success while eating the Step One products that I most enjoy.

Goes really well when added to salads with Italian, balsamic, or avocado vinaigrette, the salad tastes very delicious with cut avocados as a side salad or main salad. With the combination of anytime sprinkles and the strawberry banana smoothie mix, my total cholesterol dropped from 287 to 238 in 30 days. That is very impressive and a total game-changer! Word needs to be spread around the world!

Sprinkles are great because you can incorporate them into any meal or snack. I like to make baked pears with blueberries, cinnamon, pecans, honey (optional) and then place sprinkles on top! I have also added to yogurt, salads, really you can add to anything!
